What ARE HIGH ARCHES?

High arches, also known as cavus foot, refer to a condition where the arch of the foot is significantly elevated, causing the foot to have a pronounced curve. This condition can arise from various factors such as genetics, neurological disorders, or injury. Individuals with high arches may experience an uneven weight distribution across the foot, leading to increased pressure on the ball and heel. This can result in discomfort or pain in the feet, ankles, and potentially extend to the knees and back. It is essential to provide proper support and engage in targeted exercises to alleviate symptoms and enhance foot function.

What are the Symptoms of HIGH ARCHES

The primary symptom of flat feet is discomfort or aching in the arch of the foot, which can worsen after prolonged standing or walking. Other symptoms include:

► Discomfort or pain after physical activity or prolonged standing due to high arches.

► Tenderness along the arch of the foot, a common issue for individuals with high arches.

► Stiffness in the foot, especially pronounced after long periods of rest, is frequently associated with high arches.

How Orthotics May Help Alleviate These Symptoms

Custom orthotics designed for high arches can significantly alleviate discomfort by offering crucial arch support. These specialized devices help redistribute pressure across the foot, reducing strain on the arches and minimizing pain and inflammation. By promoting proper foot alignment and cushioning the heel, orthotics enhance overall comfort and stability. With consistent use, individuals may experience improved mobility and a decreased likelihood of developing further complications related to high arches.

High arches, or cavus feet, can present unique discomfort and potential imbalances, leading to issues such as plantar fasciitis, ankle instability, and calluses.
