Arch pain typically is the term used to describe pain under the arch of the foot.  Arch pain indicates inflammation of the tissues within the midfoot and is most commonly caused by plantar fasciitis.  Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the fibrous band of tissue that connects the heel to the toes.  Arch pain is most commonly found early in the morning due to the plantar fascia becoming contracted and tight during sleep.  Walking or standing for long periods of time can also aggravate the plantar fascia, causing it to become inflamed and irritated.  Treatment options include orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications, stretching exercises and Tenex Health TX® System.
