Common Causes of Flat Feet

Flat feet can develop in children or adults and may be caused by a variety of factors. Identifying the cause helps guide the most effective treatment plan.

Genetics and Family History

Many people inherit flat feet from their parents, making it a lifelong condition that may worsen over time

Weak or Overstretched Tendons

The posterior tibial tendon helps support your arch. Injury or strain can cause it to weaken, leading to fallen arches.

Foot or Ankle Injuries

Trauma, fractures, or repetitive strain can alter foot structure and cause arch collapse.

Arthritis or Inflammatory Conditions

Joint inflammation can damage soft tissues and ligaments, reducing arch support

Obesity or Weight Gain

Extra body weight increases pressure on the feet, which can flatten the arches over time

Aging or Overuse

As we age, tendons and ligaments naturally lose elasticity, increasing the risk of developing flat feet.
