Understanding high arches and cavovarus feet, and how we help in Waverly.
Looking for help with high arches and cavovarus feet in Waverly? Our Waverly clinic at 110 Hillwood Drive offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.
A high arch, or pes cavus, is a foot with an arch that stays raised even when you stand. A cavovarus foot also has a heel that tilts inward. The foot becomes stiff and puts extra load on the heel and ball.
Some people are born with it. In others, a nerve or muscle condition is behind it, so a careful exam matters.

Diagnosis and care
How we treat high arches and cavovarus feet in Waverly.
Step 1 · Diagnosis
We look at your arch, heel angle, and toe position, and test strength and feeling in your legs. Standing X-rays show alignment. We may suggest nerve or MRI testing if we suspect a hidden cause.
Step 2 · Treatment
Cushioned shoes with a wide sole absorb shock. Custom orthotics spread pressure across the foot rather than only the heel and ball. An ankle brace can add stability if you often roll your ankle. Physical therapy and calf stretching also help.
When pain or ankle instability continues, surgery can rebalance tendons, correct the heel position, or reshape bones. Many people do well without an operation.
