Have Flat Feet and in Pain? Here’s What to Do About It

Discover How Chiropractic Adjustments and SoftWave Therapy Can Help Restore Comfort and Function

If you suffer from flat feet — also known as fallen arches — you may already know how it can affect your entire body. Foot pain, knee pain, hip misalignment, lower back strain, and poor posture are just some of the side effects. Left unaddressed, flat feet can make even simple daily activities uncomfortable.

At Fix Your Pain Charleston, Dr. Jeremiah Jimerson offers a powerful and conservative approach to help relieve flat foot-related pain and dysfunction. By combining precise chiropractic adjustments for alignment with SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy, patients experience significant relief and improved mobility — all without drugs, injections, or surgery.

Understanding Flat Feet and Why They Cause Pain

The arch of your foot is a critical shock absorber. It helps distribute your body weight and stabilize your posture during standing, walking, running, or jumping. When the arch collapses or never properly develops (as in the case of flat feet), the bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments of your feet and lower extremities are placed under excess strain.

Common symptoms associated with flat feet include:

  • Heel pain (plantar fasciitis)

  • Arch pain

  • Ankle instability or rolling inward (overpronation)

  • Shin splints

  • Knee, hip, and lower back discomfort

  • Fatigue or aching after standing or walking

The Role of Chiropractic Care for Flat Feet

Most people think of chiropractors for back pain. But chiropractic adjustments are just as important for the feet — particularly when it comes to realigning the bones and joints of the foot and ankle, restoring proper arch support, and optimizing biomechanics throughout the kinetic chain.

Dr. Jeremiah assesses the structure and function of your feet, and makes gentle, specific adjustments to the:

  • Talus and calcaneus (heel bones)

  • Midfoot and forefoot bones

  • Ankle joints

  • Knee, hip, and lumbar spine (if compensatory issues are found)

By restoring alignment, these adjustments help relieve pressure, improve posture, and reduce pain caused by structural imbalances linked to flat feet.

SoftWave Therapy: Regenerative Healing for Overused and Injured Feet

Flat feet often lead to chronic inflammation, tissue degeneration, and overuse injuries in the feet and lower legs. This is where SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Therapy comes in.

SoftWave is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared acoustic wave therapy that delivers powerful biological signals to injured or inflamed tissues to:

How SoftWave Therapy Helps People with Flat Feet:

  • Stimulate repair and regeneration of tendons, ligaments, and fascia

  • Reduce inflammation and swelling

  • Break up scar tissue and calcification

  • Improve blood flow and circulation to the arch, plantar fascia, and surrounding tissues

  • Activate and recruit stem cells to aid in long-term healing

  • Relieve pain quickly and improve mobility

This therapy is especially effective for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, posterior tibial tendinitis, and general foot fatigue — common conditions seen in individuals with flat feet.

Combining Chiropractic and SoftWave: A Winning Formula

By combining biomechanical realignment through chiropractic care with regenerative tissue healing through SoftWave, Dr. Jeremiah is helping patients in Charleston:

  • Get back on their feet pain-free

  • Avoid cortisone injections or foot surgery

  • Improve walking, running, and standing comfort

  • Strengthen posture and reduce compensation injuries

This whole-body approach addresses both the structural root cause and the tissue-level damage caused by flat feet.
