Arch Pain

Causes

Arch pain is caused by similar mechanisms to heel pain there is a big thick band of tissue that runs from the heel bone and fans out up onto all of the toes. This structure basically binds the bony structure of the foot together. When this structure is stretched excessively it will often cause an inflammatory reaction within this structure leading to arch pain. We find that this stretching occurs in patients who over pronate excessively and are on their feet a lot such as runners bush walkers. Many people however suffer arch pain just going for a walk.
