Should we not do the orthotics?
My 5 year old son was diagnosed with bilateral pes planovalgus. His podiatrist gave him over the counter orthotics. But his pediatrician thinks he still has time to develop an arch because of his age. And the orthotics can cause pain.
Also does it look like rigid flat feet? He does get calf and thigh pains on the days of increased activities. What do you guys think we should do? Is there still a chance to develop an arch?
