High Arch Feet / Pes Cavus

Pes Cavus, also known as high arches, is a foot condition where the arch of the foot is raised more than normal. This can put excessive pressure on the heel and ball of the foot, leading to pain, instability, and difficulty walking or standing for long periods of time. In some cases, Pes Cavus can be hereditary, but it can also be caused by nerve or muscle disorders.


Treatments for Pes Cavus may include custom orthotics, footwear prescription, stretching exercises or, in severe cases, surgery. If you suspect you have Pes Cavus, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
