What causes pain on the inner arch of the foot?

Feet play a very important role in the human body. Standing, walking, running, jumping, etc. all require the participation of feet. However, because people do not pay enough attention to the care of their feet, or are overworked and so on, it is very easy for the feet to have some adverse reactions. Pain on the inner arch of the foot is a relatively common condition. If this happens, people need to understand the cause in detail and then treat it.

1. Physical therapy: Rest and use physical therapy to improve heel pain, including ultrashort wave, electrotherapy, etc. For heel pain caused by standing for a long time or exercising, you can apply ice to the heel for 10 to 15 minutes. If there is no significant improvement, local blockade may be considered. 2. Arch support Using insoles with arch support can evenly disperse the pressure on the soles of the patients' feet, which can effectively reduce the tension on the plantar fascia when the lower limbs are weight-bearing, thereby reducing the damage to the plantar fascia caused by repeated pulling. 3.
