Brief Answer:
Can be due to flat foot.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in the arch of the foot can be due to plantar fasciitis or flat foot. This can cause a pain in the ankle and leg also.
Treatment is basically correcting the mechanical axis due to deformities by using insoles, lifestyle modifications - weight loss/avoiding prolonged standing, physiotherapy - hot water massage/ Interferential therapy / Ultrasound etc.,
Insoles (soft cushioned heels with medial arch support) have to be used for both indoor & outdoor activities. Weight loss is of prime importance. Hot water massage before going to bed & soon after getting from bed will reduce pain. You can also take mild pain killers for relief.
It is best to consult an orthopedician for proper treatment and prescriptions after a direct examination.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
