🦶 Do You Have High Arched Feet? Here's What You Need to Know!

High arches (also known as pes cavus) may look like "good arches," but they can actually place extra stress on your feet and lower limbs.

Because less of the foot is in contact with the ground, pressure is concentrated on the heel and the ball of the foot. This can affect the way you walk and lead to a range of painful conditions.

Common problems associated with high arches include:
👣 Heel pain
👣 Ball of foot pain (metatarsalgia)
👣 Recurrent ankle sprains
👣 Plantar fasciitis
👣 Calluses and corns caused by increased pressure
👣 Stress fractures
👣 Claw toes or hammer toes
👣 Achilles tendon tightness

What can you do to help?

✅ Wear supportive footwear with good cushioning.
✅ Stretch your calf muscles and plantar fascia regularly.
✅ Strengthen the muscles in your feet and ankles to improve stability.
✅ Avoid worn-out footwear that offers little support.

If you're experiencing persistent foot pain, frequent ankle sprains, or discomfort when walking, it's worth having your feet assessed by a podiatrist. A thorough assessment can identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and help create a treatment plan that's tailored to you.

Don't ignore foot pain—healthy feet keep you moving! 👣

🌟Lets talk Plantar Fasciitis 🌟

If you've been waking up with a sharp pain in your heel or finding those first few steps in the morning unbearable, you may be suffering from plantar fasciitis.

👣 What is it?
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia – the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot – becomes irritated or overloaded.

⚠️ Common Causes
• Overuse from walking, running, or standing for long periods.
• Sudden increases in activity levels.
• Wearing unsupportive or worn-out footwear.
• Tight calf muscles or reduced ankle flexibility.

👥 Who is at Risk?
You may be more likely to develop plantar fasciitis if you:
✔️ Spend long hours on your feet for work.
✔️ Are a runner or regularly participate in high-impact activities.
✔️ Have flat feet, high arches, or changes in your foot mechanics.
✔️ Wear shoes with poor support.

💡 Treatment Options
The good news is that most people improve with the right treatment! Depending on your symptoms, treatment may include:
👟 Supportive footwear and orthotics.
🦶 Stretching exercises for the calves and plantar fascia.
❄️ Ice therapy to reduce pain and inflammation.
💪 Strengthening exercises to improve foot function.
⚕️ Podiatry treatment, including advice tailored to your feet and lifestyle.

❗The earlier plantar fasciitis is treated, the quicker you're likely to recover. Ignoring heel pain can lead to a longer recovery and may affect the way you walk, potentially causing problems elsewhere.

📞 If heel pain is stopping you from doing the things you love, don't just put up with it. Book an appointment with us now!

What You’ll Get:

● A fun and forward-thinking workplace
