High Arch(Pes Cavus)

A foot with an unusually high arch oftentimes causes more painful
symptoms than does the flexible "flatfoot" most people equate with
"foot problems".

The high longitudinal arch causes a shortening of the foot and
the Oblique angle of the metatarsals to the floor results in
increased pressure on the metatarsal heads (balls of the foot)
with resultant callus formation. Due to the high convex arch
there is usually a clawing of the toes and in turn callus can
develop on the dorsum (top) of the toes.

Painful symptoms, when present, are those of pressure upon the
balls of the foot or unusual fatigue when walking or standing.

Conservative treatment starts with properly fitted shoes with a
low heel. The addition of a metatarsal support or bar can
significantly relieve the pressure present at the ball region of the
foot and where deemed necessary custom molded inserts can
diffuse weight bearing pressure over the entire plantar (bottom)
surface of the foot.
