Sore Foot Arch Pain:
Causes, Relief, and Support Solutions
Experiencing sore foot arch pain can significantly impact your daily activities, making walking or standing uncomfortable.
At Foot Solutions Plymouth, we understand the challenges posed by arch pain and are dedicated to helping you find effective relief through personalised assessments and supportive footwear solutions.
Understanding the Causes of Arch Pain
Several factors can contribute to soreness in the foot arch:
- Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament, often resulting in sharp pain, especially during the first steps in the morning.
- Flat Feet (Fallen Arches): A condition where the arches collapse, leading to strain on the foot muscles and ligaments.
- Overpronation: Excessive inward rolling of the foot during walking or running, causing stress on the arch.
- Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD): Dysfunction or injury to the tendon supporting the arch, leading to pain and instability.
- Stress Fractures: Small cracks in the bones of the foot due to repetitive force or overuse.
Effective Relief Strategies
Managing sore foot arch pain involves a combination of rest, targeted exercises, and supportive interventions:
Rest and Ice: Reducing activity and applying ice can alleviate inflammation and discomfort.
Stretching Exercises: Regular stretching of the calves and plantar fascia can improve flexibility and reduce tension.
Proper Footwear: Wearing shoes with adequate arch support and cushioning can prevent further strain.
Orthotic Inserts: Custom or over-the-counter orthotics can provide additional support and alignment correction.
