My 5 year old boy with flat feet,, looking for Dr

Hi all
I have a 5 yr old boy who is very active n playful but he's got pain on his feet every time he does sports or runs around, I'm very concerned since my boy is only 5! I've looked online and I'm thinking he might have flat foot from the shape of his foot.

I've heard some things from friends and neighbors about this flat foot situation affecting NS when he grows to 18. Does that mean he would be exempted for NS? I'm super worried because i think he really loves sports and its heartbreaking to see him in pain and cant have fun. He is a capable child, what if he could be an athlete but this problem is deterring him from it?

Are there other parents here having the same problem? Is anyone able to recommend a good doctor to visit who would be able to cure this?

Any replies here are greatly appreciated.
