Treatment of high foot arch problems
High Foot Arches (Pes Cavus, “tripod foot”) can come with as many problems as a flat foot. Due to the rigid nature of the foot, shock absorption can be an issue.
High Foot Arches can cause problems such as:
- chronic ankle instability and sprains,
- peroneal tendinitis
- balance problems
- plantar fasciitis
- heel pain
- ankle pain
- calf pain and achilles tendinitis
- knee pain
- back pain
- corns and callouses
- hammer toes
What is the treatment for high foot arches?
Initially, an assessment is required to determine the correct treatment. After this is done your podiatrist will recommend a treatment plan that may include:
- Footwear changes – to ensure your shoes have good cushioning and arch support
- Silicone or felt pads to relieve pressure over painful areas
- Foot mobilisation therapy – to treat lack of joint movement by mobilising or manipulating your foot and ankle joints
- Recommend foot orthotics to provide support for stressed joints and soft tissues.
Most patients with high foot arches don’t usually see a need for orthotics until later in life, but the additional foot and arch support from orthotics will can provide invaluable support, improve shock absorption and balance. If you have high arches you could benefit from foot orthotics.
