Comments:: : my botfriend plays a lot of sports and therefore does a lot of running and puts a lot of pressure on his feet. He has flat feet which I believe is over pronation of his feet. Sometimes he gets really severe headaches and sharp stabbing neck pains. I heard somewhere that flat feet can cause headaches. Is this true? Please explain. : Caren, : It is highly unlikely that the foot pain and the headaches are related. Lower back pain and foot/leg pain are usually related. : I would suggest a consultation with a neurologist for the severe headaches. : As far as his feet go, runners often need extra shock absorbtion. He should also replace his shoes often (every three months). If this doesn't work, he should be evaluated by a foot specialist and see if a custom orthotic would help. : Good luck to you, : Misti
