Flat feet are considered a common type of ankle deformity. Flat feet is a low arch that causes the foot to become flattened. There are two types of flattening - transverse and longitudinal pathology. Transverse flatfoot is predominantly diagnosed.
Flat feet are recognized as a serious pathology, which without proper treatment leads to serious changes in the body.
The main causes of transverse and longitudinal flatfoot include:
As a result of the development of flat feet, the patient develops:
Flat feet are divided into types:
There are three degrees of the disease:
Many people think that transverse flatfoot is considered a harmless pathology that does not need to be treated. However, doctors are confident that it is necessary to treat transverse flatfoot at the first symptoms of manifestation. In the case of partial or complete absence of treatment, flat feet cause a lot of unpleasant consequences, leading to disability.
A common consequence of flat feet is scoliosis, which negatively affects the body, primarily a person’s posture. Scoliosis, like flat feet, is an orthopedic pathology.
Posture is the position of the body when sitting, lying, walking, determined by the static tension of muscle tissue. Posture is formed by many muscles, for example: leg muscles, abdominal muscles, back and neck. Tone gives the muscles shape and volume. Due to incorrect posture, the spine suffers, causing curvature and scoliosis.
To prevent scoliosis, it is necessary to monitor your posture from childhood. Correct posture can prevent scoliosis and determine a person’s health; it looks beautiful and aesthetically pleasing.
The internal organs located in the spinal region quickly respond to the spine. Scoliosis results in hernias, slipped discs, or pinched nerves. Scoliosis affects the functioning of the heart. It is important to cure flat feet, preventing changes in posture, and carry out regular prevention of the disease.
It is impossible to completely cure flat feet in adulthood. If a diagnosis of flat feet is made, the patient will have to follow the recommendations of an orthopedic doctor for life. It is possible to take steps for treatment only at an early age.
In most cases, flat feet can be corrected before reaching the third degree. The course of treatment uses conservative treatment methods: drug therapy, physiotherapy, traditional medicine. In cases of third degree disease, surgical intervention is required to remove deformed bone processes.
Each treatment method, for example, physiotherapy for flat feet, has a single goal - to slow down the development of further pathology. Correction of flat feet consists of:
Treatment is provided comprehensive, regular and timely. Then you will be able to see changes in the improvement of foot function. The earlier the causes of the disease are found, the greater the likelihood of curing and correcting the ankle joint.
As a rule, orthopedic doctors prescribe conservative treatment that has no contraindications for flat feet, aimed at eliminating pain syndromes, improving trophism, normalizing blood circulation and strengthening muscles.
Every day you will need to devote 5-10 minutes to physical exercise and gymnastics. It is better to entrust the development of exercises to a certified specialist. Gymnastic exercises are best performed in the morning, when a person is calm and does not feel tired.
In addition to gymnastics, physical therapy is prescribed. Exercises are prescribed for almost any flatfoot. The actions of physical therapy are aimed at correcting the ankle joint and reducing the flattening of the arches.
Massage is carried out in various ways. For home use, it is useful to purchase a special massage mat, upon which you can stand on and perform simple exercises, exercise equipment for flat feet, etc. For example, when using a mat, they perform simple actions: rise on their toes, roll from heel to toe. An acceptable option would be to run over cones, foliage, and stones. Pay special attention to your gait; your legs should be parallel to each other; when walking, you should rest on the edge of the ankle joint.
For severe pain in the legs, the doctor prescribes physiotherapeutic procedures: electrophoresis, currents, magnets, UHF. Physiotherapy will help normalize metabolism and blood flow in muscles and tissues, and relieve pain. The procedures can improve the condition of the arches of the feet and help correct the ankle joint.
Warm baths with chamomile infusion, sea salt and pine needles have a tonic effect. After the procedure, it is recommended to wipe your feet with ice or rinse with cold water. Thanks to the baths, fatigue and swelling will subside. It’s a good idea to do a foot massage after the procedure.
The essence of the method is exercises that strengthen muscles, improve blood circulation, and develop flexibility. Professor Bubnovsky uses simple aerobic and physical exercise in his own methodology, try using this technique.
Surgery and surgery are used in extreme cases when conservative treatment does not help. Surgeries are carried out with a diagnosis of third degree flatfoot, which is expressed by symptoms: inability to choose shoes, constant progressive pain of a chronic nature, deformation of the big toe.
Almost every person who has reached adulthood suffers to some extent from diseases of the joints and spine. More often, people do not suspect this for years, while the processes of destruction in their musculoskeletal system are gaining momentum. Sometimes they rely on the achievements of modern pharmacology and surgery. Meanwhile, there is a painless and effective way to restore the functions of the joints and spine - this is physiotherapy.
The term “physiotherapy” literally translated from Greek means the treatment of patients with natural factors. As this area of medicine developed, not only natural healing factors began to be used for physiotherapeutic treatment (climatotherapy, balneotherapy, mud therapy), but also those using the technical achievements of mankind (electrotherapy, phototherapy, magnetotherapy, radiotherapy, mechanotherapy, hydrotherapy, thermotherapy).
Physiotherapy is used in the treatment of most diseases. In the treatment of pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, physiotherapeutic methods of influence occupy one of the leading positions, along with conservative drug and surgical treatment.
Proper use of physiotherapy for pathologies of the joints and spine helps to quickly relieve pain, shorten the recovery period and restore motor functions. In this case, the body is not subjected to additional drug load.
There are several dozen treatment methods in the arsenal of physiotherapy. They can be classified based on which physical factor of influence is the leading one.
The listed types of physiotherapy suggest various methods of their application, which are successfully used in the case of diseases of the spine or joints.
We invite you to watch an interesting video about various types of physiotherapy and their effectiveness.
Many types of physiotherapy used are based on the properties of electric current; a brief description and scope of their application are presented in the table.
Exposure of a patient to laser radiation produced using quantum generators has found wide application in restorative medicine over the past 20 years.
The laser beam has a number of healing properties: it effectively reduces tissue inflammation, has a bactericidal effect, stimulates regeneration processes, quickly relieves pain, and strengthens the body's defenses.
The effectiveness of treatment increases with a combination of laser radiation and a magnetic field, used in modern physiotherapeutic equipment.
Sessions are usually held daily, for a course of 8-10-15 procedures.
Indications for laser therapy:
- diseases of the circulatory system
- diseases of the peripheral nervous system
- respiratory diseases
- diseases of the genitourinary system
Contraindications to laser therapy:
- acute inflammatory diseases
-diabetes mellitus, severe stage.
To date, many aspects of the biological effects of constant or alternating low-frequency magnetic fields have been studied in sufficient detail.
It is known that the nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems, as well as the gastrointestinal tract and musculoskeletal system are more susceptible to the effects of magnetic fields.
Magnetotherapy has a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, promotes tissue regeneration and reduces swelling. The magnetic field normalizes the autonomic functions of the body, reduces increased vascular tone, and has a hypotensive effect. Under the influence of general magnetic therapy, the production of hormones of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, reproductive and other endocrine glands is enhanced, and the body's enzyme systems are also activated. The magnetic field also has an immunomodeling, antioxidant, and sedative effect.
Local procedures are usually used. Recently, general magnetic therapy has been increasingly used. The physiotherapy room of the OJSC sanatorium "Krasny Holm" has equipment for magnetic therapy, both local (Almag device) and general (Kolibri device).
The course is determined individually by the attending physician and amounts to 8-10-15 procedures, which are carried out daily.
Indications for magnetic therapy:
-hypertension and ischemic heart disease
-varicose veins of the lower extremities
-vascular damage in diabetes mellitus
- diseases of the digestive tract
Contraindications to magnetic therapy:
-individual increased sensitivity to the magnetic factor
- tendency to bleed
Amplipulse (SMT) – therapy
Amplipulse (SMT) therapy is a type of physiotherapy in which sinusoidally modulated currents are applied to certain areas of the body.
When carrying out this procedure, an alternating pulse current of medium frequency is used. Current with such parameters easily passes through the skin, does not have an irritating effect, and penetrates deeply into the tissue, which ensures good tolerability of the procedure. Depending on the indications, different modes of SMT therapy are used.
Amplipulse therapy has a powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, relieves muscle spasms or acts as a myostimulator (depending on the mode), improves blood circulation in tissues, and normalizes the functioning of the autonomic nervous system. SMT therapy procedures are prescribed by the attending physician, for a course of 5-7-10 procedures, which are carried out daily or every other day.
Indications for SMT therapy:
- diseases of the musculoskeletal system
- diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
-chronic bronchopulmonary diseases
- diseases of the female and male reproductive system
Contraindications to SMT therapy:
- individual intolerance to the procedure
- tendency to thrombosis
-acute injuries (up to 72 hours)
-cm. contraindications to other physiotherapy procedures
Drug electrophoresis (iontophoresis) is a method of combined exposure to the body of a direct electric current and a medicinal substance administered with its help.
In this case, 90 - 92% of the drug substance is introduced due to electrogenic movement, 1-3% - due to electroosmosis and 5-8% - as a result of diffusion. In this case, the drug enters the body through the skin or mucous membranes.
During electrophoresis of drugs, they are deposited in the skin for a period of 1 to 2 days. From the skin depots, the medicinal substance slowly and gradually penetrates into deeper tissues, spreading with the bloodstream throughout the body. Subsequently, the medicine is distributed in various organs and tissues.
The removal of medicine from the body is most often carried out by the kidneys. During electrophoresis, the medicine is administered in a small amount, but this is enough to obtain a good therapeutic effect. At the same time, there are no adverse reactions characteristic of medicinal substances when administered by other methods.
The drug electrophoresis method makes it possible to introduce a pharmacological drug directly into the lesion if the latter is located in the superficial tissues (skin, subcutaneous adipose tissue, mucous membranes).
The duration of the procedure is from 10 to 20 - 30 minutes. The course of treatment consists of 8-10-20 procedures performed daily or every other day.
Our sanatorium uses classic electrophoresis with medications:
- with novocaine (for severe pain syndromes)
— with lidase (to accelerate the processes of scar resorption)
— with Karipazim (in the treatment of protrusions and herniated intervertebral discs)
— with calcium chloride (for allergic and inflammatory diseases)
— with papaverine and no-shpa (for gastrointestinal diseases)
— with intal and aminophylline (for diseases of the bronchopulmonary system)
— with sodium bromide (for diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems)
Indications for electrophoresis:
— diseases of the musculoskeletal system
- diseases of the digestive tract
- diseases of the peripheral nervous system
- some skin and allergic diseases
Contraindications to the use of electrophoresis:
— individual intolerance to direct electric current
- presence of an artificial pacemaker
- intolerance to a pharmacological drug
- pustular skin lesions at the sites where electrodes are applied
Darsonvalization is a therapeutic effect on the patient with a constant high-intensity electric field. Most often, local darsonvalization is used (arms, legs, head, collar area, face).
This type of physiotherapy has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, promotes the expansion of peripheral vessels, normalizes their tone, improves blood supply to tissues, and promotes their regeneration. It also has a pronounced bactericidal effect and relieves skin itching. For hypertension, it helps normalize blood pressure, calms the nervous system, relieves stress, and improves sleep. Widely used in cosmetology to improve the condition of the skin of the face and neck.
Indications for darsonvalization:
- diseases of the circulatory system (stage 1-2 hypertension, grade 1-2 dyscirculatory encephalopathy, vertebrobasilar insufficiency)
- neuroses, migraines, sleep disorders
- diseases of the musculoskeletal system (osteochondrosis of the spine, myositis, neuropathies)
Contraindications to darsonvalization:
- individual intolerance to exposure to high-intensity electric fields
The orthopedist rendered his verdict - flat-valgus placement of the feet. The child is 4.5 years old. This is such an ugly name with a bleak outlook. If you do nothing at all, then the flat feet that will already exist will become of some terrible degree. .
We came for a scheduled appointment for the year. Auntie doesn’t go right away? It’s bad, she should be walking already (Liza is 11 months old), I say, who does she owe? Doesn't the child decide for himself when to walk? The doctor remained silent. Grit, you have flat feet, your legs fall inward. You need to do physiotherapy, massage and a special mat and a bunch of other things. Girls, what kind of feet do your babies have? I kept thinking that if a child doesn’t walk on her own, how can she have straight feet? We go to physical therapy.
Are the children of big cities completely club-footed? Why do 70% of preschool children have problems with their legs, and is it really possible to fix it? At an appointment with an orthopedic doctor, it turns out that the child has planovalgus feet, flat feet. Orthopedist's question: Did you have rickets in infancy? But rickets happens to almost all little ones! There is not enough sun in the metropolis, and prevention with “vitamins” does not work well. More and more often, weakness of the ligamentous apparatus of the foot is inherited, and not because mom or dad has flat feet. This is not genetic inheritance. It's just that every generation is everything.
Hello girls! The surgeon diagnosed us with flat feet and prescribed Amplipulse physiotherapy! I have to go to the clinic every time by car, tell me what kind of treatment this is, is there any reason to go for it, is it generally useful or useless (harmful, of course it cannot be), maybe there is no point. They also prescribed ozokerite, the waiting list for it is generally 1.5 months! Who has done such procedures or knows what effect they give?
Flat feet in children According to statistics, more than 65 percent of children acquire flat feet by school age. Even more sick people are leaving school. What is flat feet? Flat feet in children is a deformity of the leg. Often, parents do not even understand the seriousness of this disease; they believe that it will pass - after all, the child is not disabled. But flat feet never go away on their own. When neglected, treatment becomes more complex and expensive, even surgery is possible.
Today we saw an orthopedist. We have hallux valgus. Prescribed physical therapy and orthotics. He said that if left untreated, there will be flat feet, and this will then affect everything, the spine, and the legs will quickly get tired. We will go to an orthopedic salon soon and we will make custom insoles. That’s how things are, again not very pleasant, but the main thing is that it can be fixed.

PDR March 1st. We immediately agreed with the doll that we would not give birth until my mother received a driver’s license! Received on February 1st. I relaxed, that’s it, I think now you can do it at any time. Take our maternity hospital and close it for cleaning from February 11 to 26! I again ask Lyalya not to give birth and to stay until 26))) Today is 26, the maternity hospital has opened, IT IS POSSIBLE. To be honest, it’s already a bit difficult: training contractions have been tormenting me for 3 weeks now. By evening there is no singing or dancing. And my shilopop: “Mom, let’s go play/walk/poop/run” and go on down the list and try.
I’ll say right away that the birth was long and difficult, during childbirth there was aspiration of meconium water, at the 36th week of pregnancy they diagnosed FGR of the 1st degree. The first month of pregnancy was hypertonicity. From the maternity ward directly to the intensive care unit (with aspiration), after 4 days to the 8th hospital with positive dynamics, and after 5 days they were discharged. Upon discharge, the diagnosis was cerebral ischemia. We were seen by a neurologist, and until recently there were no problems. We are almost two years old now. In December we ended up with her in the hospital for gynecology, wandered for a long time from one doctor to another, no one.
One year ago, we were diagnosed with hallux valgus, prescribed a massage, a massage mat, orthopedic shoes, and the doctor said that this could lead to flat feet in the future, but it is not a fact or a fact that all these procedures will help. At 1.5 we went to a paid private orthopedic center By the way, I immediately said why we came, well, the doctor confirmed it and prescribed a whole range of procedures: massage, physiotherapy, shoes + insoles, gymnastics, contrast baths, etc. Well, we agreed in advance with the massage therapist from this center, he is the director there.
There is no special diet for the treatment of flat feet, but there are recommendations for nutrition. The diet should be aimed at accelerating metabolic processes and weight loss (if there are extra pounds) to reduce the load on the foot.
Nutrition should be rational, containing the required amount of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals.
Proteins are needed to build new tissues. Dairy products are especially useful because they help restore the cartilage tissue that envelops the articular surfaces of bones. Milk protein is well absorbed by the body. In addition, dairy products contain a lot of calcium, which is necessary to strengthen bone tissue.
The diet should include lean meat and fish (animal protein), buckwheat, beans and lentils (vegetable protein). Proteins will be better absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract if these products are boiled, stewed or steamed.
Jelly, jelly and jellied meat made from foods rich in cartilage tissue (pork feet, beef tails) are useful. These dishes contain collagen, which ensures the strength of cartilage and bone tissue. For the same purpose, gelatin can be used for preparing dishes, which restores bone tissue and acts in the same way as chondroprotectors.
In order for the body to receive energy for normal metabolic processes, carbohydrates are needed. However, instead of simple sugars (confectionery, baked goods, etc.), which contribute to the accumulation of fat reserves, it is necessary to include in the diet foods rich in complex carbohydrates (cereals, vegetables, fruits). The latter, due to slow absorption, do not enter the blood in large quantities, like simple carbohydrates, and therefore can serve as a source of energy for a long time without turning into fat.
The diet should include a sufficient amount of fats, without which metabolic processes are inhibited. It is necessary to use mainly vegetable fats and butter. Refractory fats, which are rich in fatty meats, obstruct blood flow, forming cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels.
Minerals and vitamins are necessary for proper metabolism. B vitamins are very useful for arthrosis. Vitamin B1 is found in oranges, raisins, baked potatoes, peas, beans and whole grain bread. Vitamin B2 is found in dairy products, bananas, and eggs.
Bananas also contain vitamin B6. In addition, potatoes, nuts, and chicken are rich in them. The body obtains vitamin B9 (folic acid) from foods such as cabbage, lentils and bananas.
The development of joint diseases is inhibited by vitamins C (citrus fruits, rose hips, black currants, sweet peppers), E (vegetable oils, unrefined cereals) and D (cod liver, egg yolk, butter, milk).
Diet alone, of course, cannot cure flat feet, but in combination with other therapeutic measures it will improve the condition of the foot.
When creating a menu, you need to consider the following:
1. Products that determine the diet for arthrosis should help normalize metabolism.
2. Meat and fish should be consumed boiled. Excessive consumption of phosphorus, which they contain, leads to disruption of phosphorus-calcium metabolism and demineralization of bones. Boiling will avoid this.
3. It is not recommended to consume soups cooked in strong meat or fish broth, as it contains a large amount of purine compounds, which is dangerous for the joints.
4. To improve water-salt metabolism, it is necessary to include pumpkin and zucchini dishes, watermelons, greens, prunes and dried apricots in the menu.
5. There should be approximately 3 times more raw food in the diet than that which has been heat-treated.
6. For good intestinal function and cleansing, fiber is necessary, that is, wholemeal bread, water-based cereals, fruits and vegetables.
7. Regular tea should be replaced more often with herbal tea, rosehip decoction, and dried fruit compote.
8. Nutrition for flat feet should be aimed at reducing excess weight, which weighs heavily on the feet.
In addition, flat feet can be a consequence of rickets. In this case, it is necessary to follow the nutritional recommendations for rickets.
Useful foods for rickets
Rickets is a serious and dangerous disease, which makes its timely prevention all the more important. Perhaps the most important place among such means is proper nutrition.
It is important to start preventing rickets even before the birth of the child; proper nutrition of the mother significantly reduces the likelihood of this disease occurring. It is necessary to fill the expectant mother's diet with foods rich in vitamin D, such as:
- fish, especially sea fish - salmon, trout, herring, mackerel, sardine;
- liver - chicken, beef or fish (for example, cod liver);
— eggs – chicken and quail;
- greens - cilantro, parsley; you can try nettle borscht;
- vegetables - pumpkin, zucchini, squash;
- mushrooms, preferably not store-bought champignons and oyster mushrooms, but forest mushrooms - boletus, honey mushrooms, boletus, russula from clean natural areas;
The ideal product for feeding an infant is breast milk. If breastfeeding is not possible for one reason or another, it must be replaced with formula. When choosing a mixture, it is important to pay attention to the content of vitamin D in its composition, as well as microelements such as phosphorus and magnesium.
Your baby's complementary foods should include vegetable purees with the addition of cabbage, pumpkin and zucchini. From five months you can give ground chicken liver. From seven months onwards, it will be useful to diversify the baby’s diet with boiled leucorrhoea and poultry. From about six months of age, the child should be given calcined cottage cheese. To do this, you should boil the milk with a calcium gluconate tablet (one tablet per 300-400 ml), and then ferment it in gauze, as when preparing regular cottage cheese.
If a child shows signs of developing rickets, then complementary feeding should be started as early as possible, adding fruit and vegetable juices to the milk.
The most important means of preventing rickets are walking and sunbathing. The child needs daily exposure to fresh air and sunlight for at least 1-1.5 hours a day.

Due to problems with the spine, the entire body suffers. Therefore, it is impossible to guarantee a normal lifestyle with damage to the intervertebral discs. Such manifestations need to be eliminated urgently. In case of a stable course of the disease without complications, massage is recommended for spinal hernia, which is divided into several types and has its own tasks.
A precisely selected technique of back massage helps to quickly get rid of the symptoms of vertebral protrusions and improve the condition of the body as a whole. But there are special rules that must be followed in order to get a positive effect from the massage.
Massage of the lumbosacral region for hernia
Compliance with the main requirements regarding massage tactics is the first thing a specialist should think about before conducting therapy.
Important! Remember that massage for a herniated disc in the cervical, lumbar or thoracic region is a conservative approach to treatment, so it should be started only after all pain has been eliminated.
Massage for spinal hernia, in particular the cervical and lumbar spine, is very effective if performed by professional hands. Each of the procedures is characterized by its own specific technique; there are four types: stroking, rubbing, kneading, vibration.
Correct massage tactics for spinal hernia
The first type (stroking) should be done with gentle movements over the skin, this should happen without displacing them. The technique is aimed at warming up the back and relaxing it.
The second type (rubbing) can be performed either with dry hands or with medicinal oils, depending on the indications. This procedure is performed for quite a long time, about 40% of the total massage time. With this technique, it is important to achieve an increase in skin temperature, which will stimulate muscle contraction and remove excess fluid from the tissues.
The third type (kneading) includes the technique of grasping, pinching, squeezing. At this stage, tissues located quite deep are affected, due to which blood flow and muscle nutrition can be improved.
Vibration (fourth type) involves gentle oscillatory movements for each part of the spinal column. They differ in speed and amplitude; they are necessarily the final process in the massage technique and promote tissue restoration and relieve fatigue.
Let's consider the types of massages that are used using the listed techniques:
Massage for spinal hernia with medicine
Attention! In fact, it is not always allowed to massage against a herniated spine in the cervical or thoracic region, since when the nerve roots are compressed, there may be greater risks of complications.
There are certain times when you can and cannot use massage as a therapeutic therapy. To determine this, the patient and the doctor must determine the degree of risk of all kinds of complications, as well as evaluate the possible effectiveness. So, carrying out tactics is permissible when:
Massage for the spine in combination with traction
Massaging your back is prohibited if you have a hernia if:
The effectiveness of massaging technology must be fully proven, and in case of relapse it is strongly recommended to suspend such procedures. At the end of the article, watch a video about the correct technique for performing massages for herniated intervertebral discs.
