Arch Pain or arch Strain
Back to: Foot Problems & Conditions

ARCH PAIN

Causes

The most common cause of arch pain is Plantar Fasciitis, which is a condition that refers to the inflammation of the tissues connected to the heel bone. This is due to excessive pulling and stretching of the fibrous bands that support the arch of the foot. Usually the result of over pronation.


Prevention & treatment

If the arch pain is related to over pronation (flat feet) then an orthotic (corrective insole) may be the best solution. The orthotic should have good arch support and medial heel posting.

Wear supportive shoes, preferably made of leather, with a low heel and removable insoles. By combining an orthotic with sensible shoes the arch pain should be eradicated.

  • For instant relief use ice packs and anti-inflammatory gels.

  • Orthotic or high quality insole with arch support.

  • Supportive, spacious shoes with low heel.

  • Off-the-shelf arch supports.

For instant relief to minor ailments try using arch supports or simple orthotics
