The arch in my foot has lessened over time?
The most common cause of asymmetrical arches is a condition called posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, a very common condition in women ages 45-55. So, now what? You need treatment READ MORE
The most common cause of asymmetrical arches is a condition called posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, a very common condition in women ages 45-55. So, now what? You need treatment with either an orthotic or brace, physical therapy, no steroids, ibuorophen/aleve ok provided you have no stomach issues. Ultimately, surgery may be necessary. Stem cells, prp, etc are useless. An MRI is required to assess the damaged tendon. I advise to go see your podiatrist ASAP!Good luck!Dr SiegelSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
