Pregnancy casues many changes throughout the body including worsening of flat feet. The natural pregnancy hormones can cause the foot and ankle ligaments and tendons (such as the spring ligament and posterior tibial tendon that help support the arch) to stretch out and become weak. Without support, the arch can start to collapse and become more painful, For the most part this is preventable. By using a custom orthotics to realign the bones and stabilize the foot, a custom orthotics can decrease the stress in the foot. This can help to relieve pain and prevent problems from becoming worse. In this video exerpt from an interview with Chattanooga's Award-Winning Foot and Ankle Surgeon, he explains how this can happen.
