High Arches

High arches, also known as pes cavus or cavus foot, are a foot condition where the arch of the foot is raised higher than normal. People with high arches often experience an uneven distribution of weight across the foot, placing excessive pressure on the heel and ball of the foot​. This can lead to foot pain, instability, and other issues if left unaddressed.

High-arched feet place extra pressure on the heel and forefoot instead of distributing weight evenly. Over time, this added stress can result in pain, callus formation, or structural changes in the foot.

Causes of High Arches

High arches can have several underlying causes. In many cases, they are caused by a neurologic disorder or other medical condition that affects muscle strength and balance in the lower limbs. Common examples include genetic diseases such as: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, polio, muscular dystrophy, or even stroke. These conditions can weaken certain foot muscles while others remain overactive, pulling the foot into an exaggerated arch shape.

In other instances, high arches may run in families as an inherited structural trait not linked to any medical problem. Muscle imbalances in the feet or legs can also contribute to a cavus foot structure – for example, when some muscles are abnormally tight or strong and others are weak, the arches can be pulled higher than normal. Additionally, past foot trauma or untreated structural issues (such as clubfoot in infancy) can lead to a high-arched foot later in life. Because the underlying cause of a cavus foot often determines whether it will progressively worsen, an accurate diagnosis of the cause is important. Our podiatrists will carefully evaluate you for any contributing neurological conditions or injuries when assessing your high arches.

Symptoms of High Arches and Impact on Foot Health

Some people with high arches have no noticeable symptoms. However, many experience problems due to the abnormal pressure distribution and foot mechanics. Common symptoms of high arches include:

  • Foot and heel pain: Aching or pain in the feet – especially under the ball of the foot and the heel – is common, along with fatigue in the arches, particularly after long periods of standing or activity. High arches can cause the foot to absorb shock poorly, leading to soreness or sharp pain in these areas.

  • Ankle pain and instability: High arches often make the ankles less stable. You may notice your ankle rolling outward frequently or experience recurrent ankle sprains due to the heel tilting inward (supinated foot posture). An unstable gait can lead to swelling or tenderness around the ankles and a higher risk of injury.

  • Corns and calluses: Because pressure is uneven, thick calluses or corns can develop on the ball of the foot, heel, or outer edge where weight is concentrated. These hard skin areas result from excessive friction or pressure and can themselves become painful.

  • Toe deformities: High arches are often associated with claw toes or hammertoes, where the toes curl downward or buckle abnormally. This happens because of the increased arch and muscle imbalance, and it can cause shoe-fitting problems or pain on the top of the toes.

  • Chronic strain injuries: Over time, high-arched feet may lead to chronic conditions from repetitive strain. Examples include metatarsalgia (inflammation and pain in the forefoot), plantar fasciitis (strain of the arch ligament causing heel pain), or peroneal tendonitis (inflammation of the tendons along the outer ankle). These conditions can cause ongoing pain and limit your activities if not treated.

In addition to foot symptoms, high arches can alter your gait and alignment. If the foot isn’t absorbing shock properly, more stress can travel up the legs. Over time this may contribute to secondary problems like knee pain, hip or back pain, or arthritis in the feet/ankles due to the abnormal biomechanics. Early management of high arches can help prevent these related issues and keep you moving comfortably.

 

Diagnosis of High Arches

Diagnosing high arches involves a thorough evaluation by a podiatrist. At Elite Foot Care on the Sunshine Coast, our podiatrists will begin by reviewing your medical history (and family history) and discussing your symptoms. Next, we perform a comprehensive foot examination looking for signs of a high arch even in a standing position, and noting any associated findings like calluses, hammertoes or claw toes, and areas of pain. We will test the muscle strength in your feet and ankles and observe your walking pattern (gait) to see how your foot functions in motion. Sometimes, even the wear pattern on your shoes can give clues – uneven wear might indicate how your foot is striking the ground.

If a neurological condition might be contributing to your high arches, the podiatrist will conduct a basic neurologic assessment (checking reflexes, sensation, etc.) and may refer you to a neurologist for a more detailed evaluation.

Additional tests can be used to support the diagnosis or assess severity. For example, weight-bearing X-rays of the feet are sometimes ordered to visualise the bone structure and check the alignment of joints. X-rays can help rule out arthritis or see if any bones are misaligned due to the high arch. In complex cases (especially with suspected neuromuscular causes), advanced imaging or nerve conduction studies may be recommended to pinpoint the cause.

This careful diagnostic process allows us to distinguish a simple inherited high arch from one caused by an underlying condition. By understanding why you have high arches and how they are affecting your feet, we can formulate the most effective treatment plan.

Treatment Options for High Arches

Treatments for high arches are evidence-based and tailored to your specific needs. The goal is to relieve pain, improve foot function, and prevent further problems. At Elite Foot Care, we emphasise conservative (non-surgical) treatments first. Here are the main treatment options:

  • Custom Orthotics: Custom-made orthotic insoles are one of the most effective treatments for high arches. These are specialized shoe inserts molded to the exact shape of your feet. They provide support to your high arch and redistribute pressure more evenly across the foot. By cradling the arch and cushioning the heel and ball of the foot, orthotics can significantly reduce pain and improve stability when walking. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are prescribed by a podiatrist and crafted for your unique foot structure – ensuring optimal support.

  • Supportive Footwear: Wearing the right shoes is very important for managing high arches. Shoes with good arch support and ample cushioning help absorb shock and reduce pressure on the ball and heel. A high-topped shoe or boot can provide added ankle support to prevent rolling, and a slightly wider heel base can improve stability. We may recommend quality athletic or walking shoes that are suited for high-arched feet, or add arch support insoles to your existing footwear. In some cases, simple modifications like using metatarsal pads or heel cups can also alleviate pressure points.

  • Physical Therapy & Exercises: Stretching and strengthening the muscles of the feet and lower legs can help alleviate symptoms and improve stability. A physical therapist or your podiatrist can design an exercise program to address muscle imbalances. Stretching tight structures (like the calf muscles and plantar fascia) can improve flexibility, while strengthening exercises (for the small foot muscles, ankles, and lower legs) can enhance support. Performing regular foot exercises can improve your balance and gait. In more symptomatic cases, formal physical therapy may be recommended to work on gait training and muscle conditioning. These exercises, combined with proper support, can reduce pain and risk of injuries.

  • Shockwave Therapy : Shockwave Therapy is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment we offer for certain high-arch related conditions. Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged or strained soft tissues. At Elite Foot Care, we often utilize shockwave therapy for chronic heel pain conditions associated with high arches, such as longstanding plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. Research has shown that shockwave therapy is a safe and effective treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis heel pain, helping to reduce inflammation and trigger the body’s natural healing response. The procedure is done right in our clinic – a probe is applied to the painful area of your foot, sending pulses of energy that promote circulation and tissue repair. Shockwave therapy typically requires a series of sessions (often once a week for 3-6 weeks), and it can significantly reduce pain without the need for injections or surgery. This evidence-backed modality is an excellent option for patients who don’t respond to standard treatments.

  • Pain Management: For flare-ups of foot or arch pain, simple pain management strategies can help. Icing the affected area for 10-15 minutes after activity can reduce inflammation. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs such as ibuprofen) may be used to alleviate pain and swelling in the short term. Always use medications as directed, and consult with our podiatrists for guidance on duration of use. We focus on addressing the root cause of your high arch pain, but relieving symptoms in the meantime helps you stay comfortable and active. Techniques like massage, rest, or applying cushioned pads to sensitive spots can also be part of your pain relief toolkit.

  • Bracing or Splints: If there is significant instability in the foot or ankle, or if a neurological condition like foot drop is present, a brace can provide additional support. An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) or night splint can help keep the foot in a better position and prevent excessive ankle rolling. Bracing is particularly useful to stabilize the ankle in patients who suffer frequent sprains, and to maintain proper foot alignment in those with foot drop (where lifting the front of the foot is difficult). In some cases, wearing a brace at night can also gently stretch tight muscles and tendons in the arch. Our podiatrists will advise if any bracing is appropriate for your condition.

  • Surgery (Rarely Needed): The vast majority of high arch cases can be managed with conservative care and do not require surgery. However, in severe cases where the foot is very rigid, or pain and instability remain debilitating despite all other treatments, surgical intervention may be considered. Surgical correction of pes cavus is tailored to the individual and may involve procedures to realign or reshape bones (osteotomy), release or transfer tendons, or fuse certain joints to improve stability. The goal of surgery is to create a more balanced foot that distributes weight more evenly, thus relieving pain. Surgery for high arches is complex and requires a thorough evaluation; recovery can be lengthy, involving rehabilitation and continued use of orthotics or braces afterward. Our clinic will refer you to a foot and ankle surgeon if we jointly determine that surgical management is the best option. Rest assured, this is generally a last resort when conservative treatments have not provided sufficient relief.

 

By combining these treatment approaches, we aim to relieve your foot pain, improve your stability, and help you maintain an active lifestyle. Our approach is always individualised – we will work with you to find the right mix of therapies (for example, using orthotics and doing specific exercises and footwear changes) that addresses both the symptoms and causes of your high arches.

Importance of Early Intervention and Ongoing Management

Addressing high arches early can make a significant difference in outcomes. If your high arches are caused by an underlying progressive condition (like a neurological disorder), prompt intervention is crucial to prevent the foot deformity from worsening over time. For example, using orthotics or braces early on can slow down the development of rigid contractures and reduce strain on your feet. Children who show signs of high arches especially benefit from early treatment – their bones and soft tissues are more moldable, so guiding the feet with proper support can improve alignment as they grow. In progressive cases, waiting to treat high arches may lead to more severe pain or even permanent changes that are harder to correct. It’s often said that when dealing with high arches due to neuromuscular problems, treating them sooner rather than later yields better results.

 

Ongoing management is equally important because high arches tend to be a lifelong condition. Even if your high arches are not worsening, maintaining good support and healthy habits will prevent day-to-day pain and future complications. This means continuing to use your orthotics or supportive footwear as prescribed, even when you feel okay – consistency will keep your symptoms from returning. We also encourage periodic check-ups (for example, annually or biannually) so we can monitor any changes in your foot structure or symptoms. During these visits, we may adjust your orthotics, update your exercise regimen, or catch early signs of new issues (like a developing callus or tendinitis) before they become serious.

For patients whose high arches are associated with a neurologic condition, regular monitoring is vital. Neurologic disorders can progress, and the foot structure may change over time. Ongoing podiatric care will coordinate with your neurologist or other specialists as needed. In some cases, additional interventions might be required down the line – for instance, a new brace if foot drop develops, or even repeat surgery years later if the underlying disorder progresses. Our team will stay vigilant in managing your foot health as your needs evolve.

 

The good news is that with proper, proactive management, many people with high arches lead active and comfortable lives. While we cannot “cure” the high arch foot structure, we can successfully manage its effects. Studies show that high arch pain can be successfully controlled with the right combination of monitoring and treatment. At Elite Foot Care, we emphasise patient education and self-care as part of this long-term management. We’ll empower you with the knowledge of how to look after your feet (from shoe choices to home exercises) so that you can keep moving with confidence. Early and ongoing care is the key to preventing high arches from limiting your quality of life.
