10 Feb Pes Cavas (High Arch Foot)
Although less common than Pes Planus (flat foot), Pes Cavas (high arch foot) can be more troublesome. This condition is identified when a high arch (Pes Planus) or instep is notable. It normally occurs in both feet at a young age, however it can appear suddenly but this is usually due to injury or neuromuscular disease.
Pes Cavas (High Arch Foot) is likely to cause more problems for the patient as they age as the high arch does not allow for the weight on the plantar surface of the foot to be evenly distributed and causes excess stress to be placed on the heel and ball of the foot. This can lead to pain from the foot right up to the hips and lower back. The patient may develop hammer and claw toes and develop corns and calluses as a result of this.

Depending on the scale of the problem and the resulting issues it is causing there are various treatments available from wearing well-fitting shoes with good cushioning, keeping weight down to reduce stress on the foot, physiotherapy and treatment of corn or calluses which are causing additional discomfort.
Another beneficial treatment is the use of foot orthotics which can bring relief to sufferers.
