ARCH SUPPORT

Arch Pain: more common than you may think Foot arch pain is a common type of foot pain. Its symptoms include pain when getting up in the morning, and pain during long walks or long periods of standing. Arch pain in the morning is due to the ligaments under the foot known as the Plantar Fascia becoming contracted and tight as you sleep through the night. When getting up and walking in the morning, the fascia is still tight and prone to irritation when stretched. When walking or standing for long periods, the plantar fascia becomes inflamed and painful.What causes Arch Pain? The most common cause of arch pain is Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis is Latin for inflammation of the Plantar Fascia - the fibrous band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. Someone with arch pain usually has inflammation of the tissues within the mid-foot. The arch of the foot is formed by the Plantar Fascia, which tighten and relax during the different phases of gait. The Plantar Fascia plays an important role in proper foot mechanics and transfer of weight from the heel to the toes. When inflamed, even simple movements can be quite painful. Plantar Fasciitis is caused by over-stretching of the Plantar Fascia. Repeated strain can cause tiny tears in the ligament. These can lead to inflammation, irritation, pain and swelling. Arch pain is more likely to happen when: your feet roll inward too much (over-pronation) you walk, stand, or run for long periods of time, especially on hard surfaces you are overweight you have tight Achilles tendons and/or calf muscles

T Arch SUPPORT

An arch support is a piece of material designed to provide support for the arch of the foot. An arch support may be placed on top of the shoe's insole, or may be part of the insole. It is placed inside a shoe so that its molded form fits the arch of the foot. Arch supports are frequently made from plastic or urethanes, aiming to be flexible enough to provide comfort and rigid enough to provide support. The material can be custom made to fit individual feet using a medical foot casting system. Alternatively, generic shapes and sizes can be purchased based on foot size and arch height. Arch supports are most commonly found in shoes
