Ways to Relieve Pain in Your Arch of Your Foot

For many people, the word ‘arch’ brings to mind pain and discomfort. The word is often used to describe those who suffer from flat feet and those with high arches. However, this is not an accurate portrayal of either arch type. An arch is a natural extension of your foot that allows it to move more comfortably when walking. People with flat feet have no arches in their feet, while those with high arches have extra-hardened first metatarsal bones at the base of their big toe (the ball part). The arch of our foot can be strengthened through various techniques, such as using insoles or inserts and custom orthotics.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of arch pain and one of the most common orthopedic complaints reported. It’s caused by inflammation, overuse, or injury to the plantar fascia. The plantar fascia is the ligament that connects the front of your foot to your heel.
