Arch Pain
Plantar fasciitis is commonly associated with arch pain because the plantar fascia ligament is attached at the base of the heel bone on the bottom of the foot and runs to the five metatarsal bones in the forefoot area. Therefore, the plantar fascia ligament extends through the bottom of the arch.
When the plantar fascia ligament is stretched tight like a rubber band, it can radiate pain throughout the arch area.
One of the best ways to alleviate arch pain in plantar fasciitis is to support the foot with a good footbed or a corrective orthotic. This will help to reposition the bones in the foot and stabilize them so that the foot can reduce its stress and fatigue and start to heal itself. Cortisone injections may also be utilized.
