Thanks for the information. I have been dealing with foot and ankle pain in Crystal Lake and I appreciate some insight into the condition.

I really like the info you have given. I need some advice for foot and ankle pain I think my wife is flat footed. Do you have any other advice or tips for that?

I didn't realize that flat feet could be acquired in adulthood. Some of my family members have had flat feet their whole lives, but luckily, I've been able to avoid it. From what you said, it sounds like I could still develop this problem if I'm not careful. I really like the tips you give to people that might be starting to have flat feet in their adulthood. I should probably talk to a podiatrist to see if I'm at risk. http://www.westmorelandfootdoctor.com
