Flat feet and heel pain

2023-08-10 18:18:27
I have flat feet and at times I feel pain/stress in my heels. I have also started observing some discomfort from the feet up which somehow i feel is caused by my flat feet and stressed heels. Can I buy arch supports online from amazon/flipkart etc? Or should I go see a doctor about this first? Does arch support help correct the shape of the arch?
