Don't overlook your child's foot pain — it may be caused by high-arched feet!
Hazards of High-Arched Feet
High-arched feet are stiff and lack elasticity, failing to effectively cushion the impact between feet and the ground.
They also cause limited ankle dorsiflexion and reduce the contact area between the feet and the ground.
The metatarsal heads become prominently protruding, leading to pain and calluses.
Studies have confirmed that high-arched feet feature insufficient contact between the plantar surface and the ground.
高足弓形成原因
1.Weakness or paralysis of the anterior tibial muscle combined with strong tibial muscle strength pulls the first metatarsal bone, resulting in foot pronation.
2.Residual deformity of congenital clubfoot
3.Paralysis of the gastrocnemius muscle
高足弓治疗方案
1.Use orthotic devices: Custom orthotic insoles designed to cushion impact.
2.Foot exercises: including plantar fascia relaxation, calf muscle training and so on.
3.Lower limb relaxation: Use foam rollers regularly to release fascia of the lower limbs.
