Does Self-Care Work for Arch Pain?

When you first begin to notice arch pain, you can try treating yourself with what’s commonly known as RICE… Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.  Acetaminophen and an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen or naproxen help pain and reduce inflammation.  Arch supports or orthotics may also help relieve the pain.  It is important to note that if pain continues medical treatment by a podiatrist should be the next step.
