High arches (also known as cavus foot) occur when the arch of the foot is raised higher than normal. This can place excessive pressure on the heel and ball of the foot, leading to pain, instability, and an increased risk of injury.
At Downtown Foot Clinic, our licensed chiropodists assess your foot structure and provide personalized treatment to improve balance, reduce pressure, and support your feet.
