Is there correlation between flat feet and plantar fasciitis?

Maybe...: this is a hard question to answer because the two problems don't occur together all the time. Flat feet is not a good term. Upon walking, everyone's feet has to flatten. the act of flattening helps to dissipate shock of each step. It depends on how much occurs within the foot structure. high arched people can get plantar fascia just as much as flatter foot people. It is all about overuse.

Yes!: A flat foot causes increased stresses along the arch, which over-stretches the plantar fascia and causes tearing away from the heel bone, which leads to inflammation and pain. There are many excellent treatments to help with current pain as well as to help prevent the pain in the future. I recommend you see a podiatrist, there are many in the DFW area.
