What Is Arch Foot Pain?
The arch of the foot plays a critical role in weight distribution and movement. Pain in this area may feel like a dull ache, burning sensation, or sharp stabbing pain. It can occur in one or both feet and may worsen with activity.
Common Causes of Arch Pain
Several factors can contribute to pain in the arch, ranging from temporary strain to chronic conditions. The most common causes include:
-
Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament that supports the arch.
-
Flat Feet: Lack of arch support leads to improper weight distribution.
-
Overuse or Strain: Activities such as running, jumping, or prolonged standing.
-
Injury: Sprains, fractures, or trauma to the foot.
-
Obesity: Excess body weight increases pressure on the arches.
-
Improper Footwear: Shoes without adequate arch support or cushioning.
-
Age-Related Changes: Natural wear and tear that weakens foot structures over time.
Who Is at Risk?
Arch foot pain can affect people of all ages, but certain groups are more susceptible:
-
Athletes or active individuals
-
People with occupations requiring prolonged standing
-
Those with a history of foot injuries
-
Individuals with diabetes or arthritis
