Flat Feet Treatment in Howell, Michigan

Flat feet (pes planus) occur when the arches of the foot collapse, causing the entire sole to contact the ground. While some people have flat feet without symptoms, many experience significant pain in the arch, heel, ankle, and even the knee or back. At Balance Foot & Ankle Specialists in Howell, Dr. Tom Biernacki provides comprehensive flat foot evaluation and individualized treatment using the most advanced biomechanical analysis and custom orthotic technology available.

Symptoms We Treat

  • Arch pain or heel pain that worsens with activity
  • Fatigue in the feet and legs after standing
  • Swelling along the inside of the ankle
  • Difficulty standing on tiptoe
  • Knee, hip, or lower back pain related to poor arch support

Treatment Options

Effective flat foot treatment starts with a thorough biomechanical analysis and gait evaluation. Options include: custom 3D-scanned orthotics (the gold standard — corrects the underlying alignment issue), supportive footwear counseling, physical therapy and specific strengthening exercises, MLS laser therapy for inflamed tendons, and in advanced cases (adult acquired flatfoot with tendon rupture), surgical reconstruction of the posterior tibial tendon.

When to See a Podiatrist

Painful flat feet in adults can signal posterior tibial tendon dysfunction — a progressive condition that needs early intervention to avoid surgery. Balance Foot & Ankle evaluates adult flatfoot with weight-bearing imaging and custom orthotic prescriptions. Catching PTTD at stage 1-2 makes the difference between a brace and a reconstruction.
