Scoliosis and Flat Feet — Which Doctor Should I See?

Scoliosis can contribute to flat feet by altering spinal alignment and affecting how weight distributes through the legs and feet. This imbalance may weaken foot arches over time.

Symptoms include foot pain, arch collapse, ankle instability, knee pain, and increased fatigue during physical activity. Back pain from scoliosis may worsen due to compensatory posture changes.

Treatment includes custom orthotics for foot support, physical therapy for spinal alignment, proper footwear, core strengthening exercises, and in severe cases, surgical intervention may be considered.
