Arch
Foot Pain
Arch pain is a condition in which the foot doesn't
have a normal arch. It may affect one foot or both feet.
Most people have a gap between in the inner side of
the foot and the ground when they are standing. This
is referred to as an "arch". Feet that have
a low arch or no arch at all are referred
to as flat feet or fallen arches. On standing the patient
will have a flat arch and the foot may roll over to
the inner aspect.
The symptoms vary depending on the severity of the
condition. Individuals may experience corns, hard skin
under the sole of the foot. The arch area may be tender
and shoes will tend to wear out quickly. In severe cases
the patient may experience calf, knee and hip pain.

CAUSES
OF ARCH FOOT PAIN
- It may be hereditary, i.e passed on through generations.
- In most cases it is caused through a biomechanical
complaint (abnormal walking) such as Fore
Foot Varus. This is a condition in which the subtaler
joint in the foot over pronates (rolls in too much).
- A ruptured tendon (tibilias posterior) can lead
to a flat foot.
- Cerebral palsy, spins bifida and muscular dystrophy
can also lead to a flat foot condition.

OF ARCH PAIN

- Do not try to treat the secondary lesion (i.e corns)
yourself.
- Purchase high quality insoles/ orthotics to take
pressure and pain away from the arch.
TRADITIONAL
TREAMEMT
Flat feet insoles have been used for years to help
people with flat feet. Traditionally when we think of
insoles or orthotics we think of a hard plastic insert
that is placed in the shoe. It cups the heel and supports
the arch but because it is not flexible it does not
extend the full length of the foot. This tends to make
this type of orthotic uncomfortable, and ineffective
for many people.
It also repositions the arch using "brute force."
Because it is not flexible it forces the arch into it's
correct position but does nothing to relieve the pressure
that is forcing the arch to collapse, causing flat feet,
in the first place. This type of hard plastic orthotic
can actually cause increased pain in flat feet patients,
which is the reason why we have recommended the Dr Foot
Insoles for the treatment of flat feet. They provide
a flexible yet incredibly supportive and stable treatment
for flat feet.
