Arch Pain is usually an inflammation and/or burning sensation at the arch of the foot. The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot, that runs from the heel to the forefoot. The planter fascia can become inflamed due to over pronation (flat feet) which causes the arch pain. Symptoms Pain and tenderness in the arch region of the foot. Causes The major cause of arch pain is plantar fascitis (inflammation of the muscle that runs along the bottom of the foot). Plantar fascitis is caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia, usually due to over-pronation (flat feet).The inflammation caused by the plantar fascia being stretched away from the heel, often leads to pain in the heel and arch areas.
