Often the arch is too low (pes planus) or too high (pes cavus), which causes unneeded stress on the foot and joints. The podiatrist seeing you will determine the proper diagnosis and then initiate appropriate treatment. Treatment for heel and arch pain often includes stretching exercises, arch strapping, orthotics and night splints, and sometimes a cortisone injection. It is important to wear supportive shoes, and your podiatrist will make suggestions regarding types of shoes that will help to eliminate your foot pain and inflammation.
