Flat feet and arch height can be inherited — early diagnosis helps prevent pain and long-term complications
Traits passed down from your parents include eye color, a charming smile, or even that signature family laugh. But did you know that your foot shape, arch height, and your tendency toward foot problems can also run in the family? If you have ever wondered why your mom’s bunions look like yours, or why your dad always complained about flat feet, you might have genetics to thank.
At DeNiel Foot & Ankle Center, our team understands how frustrating hereditary foot issues can be. With the right treatment for hereditary foot conditions, you can manage symptoms, improve comfort, and prevent complications.
