ARCH PAIN





Foot discomfort can be a real pain in the arch. If your foot hurts along the
arch of your foot, the ball of your foot, or on your heel, you may be suffering
from arch pain. 


CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS 

Your arch is comprised of your tarsal and metatarsal bones, along with
supporting ligaments and tendons. If you touch the top of any one  

of your toes and trace the bone down to the center of your foot, your fingers
will trace a bone called your metatarsal. Attached to your toe bones, these five
metatarsal bones help  
you stand, walk, and run by distributing your weight evenly to  
keep you balanced. Connected to your metatarsals, near the  
back of your foot, are seven tarsal bones. Together, your tarsals and
metatarsals form your foot’s arch. 

Your arch runs the length of your foot, including the inside of your foot,
giving it a distinctive contoured shape. 



Your arches help you: 

 * Absorb stress. 
 * Stabilize your body for standing, walking, and running. 
 * Adapt to uneven or sloping surfaces.  
   
   

An important structure connected to your arch is your posterior tibialis tendon.
This muscle originates behind your shin bone, runs inside your ankle, and
attaches to several of your tarsal bones within your arch. This tendon is
responsible for maintaining a healthy, supportive arch during your everyday
activities. 

When any of these arch-related bones, ligaments, and tendons are weakened or
injured from overuse, excessive activity, or wear and tear from aging, you may
experience arch pain. 


DO I HAVE ARCH PAIN? 

To determine if you have arch pain, first identify what type of arch you have. 



SELF- ASSESSMENT QUIZ 

Do this simple test on yourself: 

 1. Get your feet wet.
 2. Stand normally on a flat surface where you can see the imprint of your feet,
    such as a sidewalk or a newspaper. 
    
 3. Step away from your imprints and look at the wet marks.  

YOU HAVE A LOW ARCH IF YOUR IMPRINT SHOWS ALMOST THE ENTIRE BOTTOM OF YOUR FEET.

A low arch accompanied by arch pain may be indicative of more progressive
conditions such as excessive pronation, flat feet, or plantar fasciitis. 

IF YOU HAVE A NORMAL ARCH, YOU WILL SEE AN IMPRINT WITH THE INSIDE CURVE OF YOUR
FOOT MISSING.

Even if your arch is normal, you still could experience arch pain. 

YOU HAVE A HIGH ARCH IF YOU CANNOT SEE ANYTHING BUT YOUR HEEL AND THE TOP OF
YOUR FOOT NEAR YOUR TOES.

This means your arch pain is likely caused by your weight concentrated too much
in the ball and heel of your foot. This improper weight distribution can lead to
poor shock absorption and significant arch pain. 




IN ADDITION TO IDENTIFYING HOW YOUR ARCH TYPE MAY AFFECT YOUR ARCH PAIN, ASK
YOURSELF: 


 * Do I feel pain behind or on the inside of my ankle bone? 
 * Does this pain get worse during walking, running, or standing? 

Sometimes arch pain is a symptom of a more specific foot ailment. Read the
following articles to see if any of these ailments are the culprit behind your
arch pain. 

 * Plantar fasciitis 
 * Excessive pronation
 * Flat feet 

If none of these foot conditions seem to apply, you may have a condition called
posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD). When this tendon is weakened or
overworked, it creates a type of arch pain that stresses your plantar fascia
(the band of connective tissue that stretches from the heel to the ball of your
foot), causes gradual fatigue of your arch, and decreases the amount of support
your arch gets from the posterior tibialis tendon. 


ARE THERE ANY SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH ARCH PAIN? 

Do not let arch pain go without treatment. Because your arch supports the weight
of your entire body, arch pain tends to affect other areas of your feet, ankles,
knees, legs, and back. As with most things, early treatment can help prevent
longer-term issues. 

Arch pain is a progressive condition that may contribute to more serious foot
ailments such as: 

 * Plantar fasciitis 
 * Flat feet 
 * Lower back and hip pain
 * Knee pain
 * Achilles tendonitis 
 * Shin splints
 * Stress fractures 
 * Hammertoes
 * Heel pain
 * Bunions 
 * Contracted toes 
 * Morton’s neuroma 
 * Foot and leg aches 
 * Loss of the protective padding on the bottom of your foot 
 * Ball of foot pain


 TREATMENT AND PREVENTION 

The following remedies may alleviate arch pain and help prevent additional foot
and lower body health problems: 

 * Orthotics or shoe inserts. These will help support your arch, stabilize your
   heel, and ease some of the stress on your posterior tibialis tendon. 
   
   
 * Arch supports. Specialized arch supports help relieve arch pain and
   discomfort. Make sure you know your arch type (low, medium, or high) since
   the shape and height of your arch support should match your arch type and
   height. 
   
   
 * Strengthen your muscles. Work on strengthening your tibialis posterior muscle
   and stretching your Achilles tendon. These two muscles are instrumental in
   affecting your arch pain and any pronation you might experience. 
   
   
 * Wear comfortable and supportive shoes with insoles that fully support the
   arch. Depending on your lifestyle, your shoes and insoles need to support
   both your everyday activities (like work) and more intense activities (such
   as running, jogging, or sports). 
   
   
 * Wear night splints. Night splints help alleviate pressure on your arches by
   keeping your muscles properly positioned and strengthened while you sleep. 
   
   
 * Use cold therapy. Massagers, wraps, and other forms of cold therapy help
   alleviate arch pain and discomfort.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.

    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
