What is Arch Pain?

Arch pain refers to discomfort or soreness experienced in the arch of the foot. This area of the foot plays a crucial role in weight distribution and propulsion during walking or running. When the arch is stressed or injured, it can lead to pain and discomfort that may affect your daily activities.

Common Conditions Associated With Arch Pain

Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)

PTTD occurs when the posterior tibial tendon, which supports the arch, becomes inflamed or damaged. This can result in a fallen arch, difficulty walking, and pain along the inside of the ankle.

Navicular Syndrome

Navicular syndrome involves inflammation or injury to the navicular bone, a key structure in the arch of the foot. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight on the affected foot.

Midfoot Conditions

Various conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, or arthritis, can cause pain and discomfort in the midfoot area, contributing to arch pain. These conditions often result from overuse, improper footwear, or biomechanical abnormalities.

Symptoms of Arch Pain

Arch pain may present with the following symptoms:

1
Pain or tenderness
Pain or tenderness in the arch of the foot, which may worsen with activity.
2
Swelling
Swelling or inflammation in the affected area.
3
Difficulty bearing weight
Difficulty bearing weight on the affected foot.
4
Reduced arch height
Reduced arch height or a visibly fallen arch.
5
Discomfort beyond arch
Discomfort that may extend to the ankle, heel, or other parts of the foot.

Factors That Contribute To Arch Pain

Arch pain conditions, including Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD), Navicular Syndrome, and various midfoot conditions, can affect individuals across different demographics. Several factors may increase susceptibility to these conditions:

Age While arch pain can occur at any age, older adults may be more prone due to age-related changes in foot structure and function. Reduced flexibility, diminished fat padding, and wear and tear on tendons and ligaments can contribute to arch pain in seniors.
Foot Structure Individuals with high arches or flat feet may be at higher risk of developing arch pain conditions. High arches can lead to excessive pressure on certain areas of the foot, while flat feet can cause overpronation, placing strain on the arches and supporting structures.
Activity Level Athletes and individuals who engage in high-impact activities such as running, jumping, or sports that involve sudden changes in direction are more susceptible to arch pain conditions. Repetitive stress and overuse can lead to inflammation and injury in the arch area.
Biomechanical Issues Poor foot mechanics, such as overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot) or supination (insufficient inward rolling), can contribute to arch pain conditions. These biomechanical issues alter the distribution of weight and pressure on the foot, leading to strain on the arches and surrounding tissues.
Footwear Choices Wearing improper footwear, such as shoes with inadequate support, insufficient cushioning, or narrow toe boxes, can exacerbate arch pain conditions. High heels, in particular, can increase pressure on the forefoot and arches, leading to discomfort and potential injury.
Medical Conditions Certain medical conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, obesity, and nerve disorders, can increase the risk of developing arch pain conditions. These conditions may affect the structure and function of the foot, predisposing individuals to inflammation, nerve compression, or structural abnormalities that contribute to arch pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?

To consult with a podiatrist in a private practice, no referral is necessary. However, it is advisable to verify the requirements of your personal health insurance, as certain policies may necessitate a referral for insurance claims. 

If you possess a doctor or professional referral, kindly inform our staff when scheduling your appointment and remember to bring the referral letter with you during your visit. This ensures that we have all relevant information to provide you with the best possible care and may also facilitate any necessary insurance processes.

At UFIT, our key pillar is the use of exercise therapy and education to empower patients to take control of their health and recovery. We consider all factors that may affect your recovery: movement, sleep, nutrition, mindset and rest.

What should I bring to my initial podiatry consultation?

Insuring a comprehensive history review is crucial as it enables our team to accurately identify issues and direct treatment more effectively. If you possess any scan results, test results, or referral notes from your GP or another healthcare professional, we recommend bringing these documents to your appointment.

Additionally, any relevant footwear such as running shoes, school shoes, cycling shoes, football boots, or ski boots can provide valuable insights into your daily activities and contribute to a more thorough assessment and effective treatment approach.

How long is a podiatry appointment?

A typical podiatry session usually lasts around 60 minutes. However, the duration may vary depending on the patient’s condition and specific requirements. Our team  take the time to assess each individual’s needs and design comprehensive and effective care tailored to their unique circumstances.

Can I bring my child for a Podiatry assessment even though they don't have pain?

Absolutely! Podiatry assessments for children, even without apparent pain, are highly beneficial and our team are highly experienced in assessing children's lower limbs. Early intervention can help identify and address potential developmental or biomechanical issues that may impact your child's foot health in the long run.

Is my child too young for a Podiatry consultation?

No, your child is never too young for a Podiatry consultation. At UFIT Podiatry, we specialize in assessing and caring for the foot health of individuals of all ages. Even in the absence of specific concerns or pain, early podiatric consultations for young children can help detect and address potential developmental or biomechanical issues. Our podiatrists are experienced in providing gentle and age-appropriate assessments, ensuring that your child's feet are on the right track from an early age. 

Does UFIT Podiatry offer minor procedures for ingrown toenails and plantar wart removal?

Yes, our team are trained and qualified to perform surgical procedures for conditions such as ingrown toenails and plantar wart removal.

Do you offer direct billing with Insurance?

UFIT Podiatry does not currently offer direct billing services. However, we are recognized by all major insurance providers. Our services operate on a self-pay basis, and patients are required to settle payments directly at the time of service.

For insurance claims, we provide all necessary documentation, and patients can seek reimbursement from their insurance providers according to their policy terms. Feel free to contact us for any additional information or assistance in this process.
