Orthotics don’t work
(3 discussions)
My orthotics don’t help my foot pain at all, and in some cases make my pain worse.
I have really flat feet and even my foot doctor has given up and sent me to another doctor.
What is left for me?

I can't give a definitive answer without examining you.If you have a flexible flatfoot, then a surgical procedure can be a consideration.If the orthotics that were made were inadequate for your problem, new ones might be considered.

If you doctor does this type of surgery, I suggest you get the information from him/her. I do not perform this type of surgery so I am sorry I can not help you.
