Also known as fallen arches or Pes Planus, Flat feet occur when the foot’s arch structure weakens or fails, causing the foot to roll inward (overpronate). This affects shock absorption, tendon alignment, and the distribution of forces across the ankle, knees, hips, and even the lower back.

These tools allow Dr. Lang to identify the exact driver of pain or arch collapse and create a treatment plan tailored to your foot’s mechanics and overall health
Flat feet are more than a structural issue—they influence balance, gait, posture, and joint health. Dr. Lang takes the time to understand the whole picture, from tendon integrity to metabolic factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
