Avoiding Pain in the Arches of the Feet

Arch pain is a common reason people visit a foot and ankle specialist . There are several different potential causes of arch pain, so the first step your foot doctor in Sugar Land will take is making a diagnosis.

This video discusses some of the common causes of arch pain. Plantar fasciitis, which is caused by tightness in the plantar fascia along the bottom of the foot, is one of the most common foot problems foot doctors see. This can be avoided by avoiding jumping into a strenuous exercise regime without conditioning. Flat feet—which can be treated by your foot doctor—obesity, and wearing the wrong shoes can also cause arch pain.
