What Causes Severe Arch Pain When Skiing?

The pain is due to overuse of the small muscles in the bottom of the foot. These are called the “intrinsic muscles” of the foot and they both start and end within the foot itself (as opposed to the “extrinsic muscles” which are the ones that start in the leg and end in the foot).

A flat foot tends to be a very unstable foot and skiing requires stability to transfer force effectively from the boot to the edge of the ski to turn the ski.

When people with unstable feet ski, the intrinsic muscles start working exceptionally hard to help stabilize the foot. Eventually, they just run out of adequate blood flow to support their activity and the searing pain in the arch begins.

Trivia Tuesday! HOW CAN I PREVENT GETTING A DIABETIC WOUND?
Check your feet: Check your feet often. The best medicine is preventative medicine. Make it a habit to check your feet each night, before bed. Take care to look between the toes, check the bottoms and tops of the feet, and if you notice any unusual spot, alert your doctor right away.
Monitor your blood glucose: If you are suffering from diabetes, make it a habit to check your blood glucose, daily. It is important to keep tabs on this number to make sure it is at a healthy range to allow for ideal immune function. Diet and exercise are a great adjunctive measure to help regulate your blood glucose.
Watch for any new changes or pain: Pay attention to how your legs and feet feel. If you suddenly have cramping when walking, or you feel like your legs or feet are getting tired when walking, consider having your circulation checked. If you notice the hair is no longer growing on your feet or toes, this is also a sign of poor circulation. Your podiatrist can perform a simple circulation test to further evaluate your circulation.
Pay attention if your feet or toes are numb: If you have any numbness, burning or tingling, you may be suffering from neuropathy. Make sure to never walk barefoot. When wearing socks, choose a white sock, that way if you have a bleeding wound, you can see it on your sock. Also, check your feet for any pressure sores. Your podiatrist can perform different tests to check for your nerve function.
Appropriate shoe-wear: Wearing appropriate, well fitting shoes is an important way to help prevent the development of diabetic ulcers. You should avoid walking around barefoot. When buying new shoes, you should have your feet measured to ensure that you are wearing the most appropriate size. Make sure you try the shoes on before buying them as you may wear a slightly different size with one shoe brand versus another. Your podiatrist can also inspect and evaluate your shoe wear to make sure that they are the most appropriate for you. Based on clinical findings and eligibility, diabetic shoes are also an option for diabetic patients. These shoes come in a variety of styles but, most importantly, they have extra depth and contain soft plastazote inserts. At Certified Foot and Ankle Specialists, we provide diabetic shoes with custom plastazote inserts which are very effective at protecting your feet from developing diabetic wounds.

Trivia Tuesday! Why does diabetes affect healing?
People with uncontrolled diabetes may develop poor circulation. As circulation slows down, blood moves more slowly, which makes it more difficult for the body to deliver nutrients to wounds. As a result, the injuries heal slowly, or may not heal at all.
