Understanding High Plantar Arch
High plantar arch, also known as pes cavus, is a common foot condition characterized by an abnormally high arch. This condition can lead to various problems, including foot pain, instability, and difficulty finding suitable footwear. At The Foot Practice, we believe in educating our patients about their conditions so that they can make informed decisions about their health. Let's dive deeper into what high plantar arch entails.
Causes of High Plantar Arch
High plantar arch can have both genetic and acquired causes. In some cases, it may be inherited or associated with certain neuromuscular disorders such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, muscular dystrophy, or stroke. Other potential causes include nerve damage, congenital abnormalities, or simply the unique structure of your foot from birth.
Signs and Symptoms
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of high plantar arch is essential for early intervention and effective treatment. Some common indications of pes cavus include:
- Visible high arch when standing or walking
- Foot pain, especially during physical activity
- Difficulty finding comfortable shoes
- Instability and an increased risk of ankle sprains
- Calluses and corns due to uneven pressure distribution
Treatment Options for High Plantar Arch
If you suspect you have high plantar arch or are experiencing any of the associated symptoms, seeking professional podiatric care is vital. At The Foot Practice, our team of experienced podiatrists will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine an accurate diagnosis and devise a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.

The Foot Practice utilizes state-of-the-art technology to create orthotics tailored to your unique foot structure, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.

In some cases, physical therapy and specific exercises can help alleviate the symptoms associated with high plantar arch. Our team of skilled therapists will guide you through targeted exercises and stretching routines that aim to improve foot flexibility, strengthen supporting muscles, and enhance overall foot function.
