Arch Supports For Flat Feet

By Jill Faulkner


Arch supports for flat feet can help to correct a painful condition. This structural problem of one's foot may be hereditary, and cause problems all one's life. In addition, pain may occur in individuals suffering from falling arches. Arches fall due the weight they must bear.

Among humans, both conditions are fairly common. While not often the direct cause of the pain, they contribute to other conditions that can cause pain in the foot, ankle or knee. These structures develop during childhood. By adulthood most have developed arches.

Even though they develop, arches can fall with the aging process. Time, wear and tear may weaken tendons in the foot responsible for the arch. The tendon is what gives the arches their shape and raises them from the floor. When overloaded, they can become inflamed resulting in pain. If the tendon is torn, the arches lose their support and fall to the floor again.

Foot problems are often traced back to the condition. The condition in one's foot leads to additional stress in muscles, connective tissues and bones. Many individuals experience an inflammation of the plantar fascia. This may lead to severe discomfort as well as serve as a precursor to other problems of the foot. Unless properly supported, the simplest of movements in the foot may lead to misalignment that adds to the strain, fatigue and stress the condition causes the lower body.

Ongoing stress in one's feet may cause loss of natural support for the arches. Long term use of high heels can affect the Achilles tendon while changing the ankle's mechanics. Since the posterior tibial tendon must compensate, it can eventually break down causing the arches to fall.

Although pain of the arches if one of the symptoms due to this problem, the pain itself may not end at the foot. The pain and fatigue often extend to affect one's leg, including both heels and knees and may extend all the way into the lower back. Support of the arches is one way to reduce the symptoms one experiences.

While one can do nothing about his or her heredity, there are some things that can prevent the pain from occurring. Choose shoes that offer adequate support for the arches. In addition, the individual may want to avoid standing or walking for extended periods, especially if wearing heels. Overuse during work or sports may lead to additional pain. Individuals who are overweight may find losing some weight can reduce the stress on the arches.

The lack of support often causes even more pain. Supporting the foot's structure may be helpful. In addition, if the pain continues, even with support, it may be time to seek the help of a doctor.

Arch supports for flat feet help to reduce pain. By giving the feet proper support the stress on tendons and other tissues in the foot are reduced. Support can stop inflammation of tendons, allow healing and relieve pain in the foot as well as other affected areas.
