High & Very High Arches

 

Both high and very high arches are inherited conditions that can lead to the development of body aches and pains. If high arches go unsupported, it is impossible for good posture to be maintained.

Correct alignment of the skeleton is lost if poor posture persists, and it is this loss of skeletal alignment and balance that is the source of body aches and pains.

Painful feet, knees, hips, back and body tiredness can all be attributed to the incorrect posture caused by unsupported arches.

Over time, unsupported high arches become so weak that they fall flat when pressure is applied, making walking extremely difficult.

Treatment to prevent or cure deterioration of high and very high arches includes custom fitted medical grade footwear and orthoses, regular exercise for the feet and lace up boots.

 

Good Health is Right under your feet!
