High arch
Alternate Names : Pes cavus, High foot arch
Treatment
Corrective shoes may help to relieve pain and can improve walking. This includes orthopedic modifications to the shoes, such as an arch insert and a support insole. Surgery to flatten the foot is sometimes necessary in severe cases. Any underlying neurological problems, if present, must be treated by appropriate specialists.
Prognosis (Expectations)
The expectations depend on the underlying neurological condition, although in mild cases, appropriate shoe wear and arch supports may provide welcome relief.
Complications
Calling Your Health Care Provider
Call your health care provider if you suspect you are having foot pain related to high arches.
