Arch Pain
The term arch pain (often referred to as arch strain) refers to an inflammation and/or burning sensation at the arch of the foot. The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot, that runs from the heel to the forefoot. The planter fascia can become inflammed due to over pronation (flat feet) which causes the arch pain.
APPEARANCE OF FLAT FEET
- On standing the patient may have a flat arch.
- The foot may roll over to the inner aspect.
SYMPTOMS OF ARCH PAIN
Pain and tenderness in the arch region of the foot.
CAUSES OF ARCH PAIN
The major cause of arch pain is plantar fascitis (inflammation of the muscle that runs along the bottom of the foot). Plantar fascitis is caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia, usually due to over-pronation (flat feet).The inflammation caused by the plantar fascia being stretched away from the heel, often leads to pain in the heel and arch areas.
TREATMENT OF ARCH PAIN
- Avoid high-heeled shoes whenever possible.
- Purchase high quality insoles to take pressure and pain away from the arch.

The ideal insole for complete foot support, comfort, correct posture
and mechanics. Dr Foot's insole is a unique foot support system intended

A full-length, prescription like arch support prevents and treats foot
pain. The result: control for feet rolling inward (over-pronation),
which can pull the entire lower body out of alignment. This insole treats
the underlying cause of arch pain to help restore the natural arch.
