Common Causes â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢ â¢. Arch pain is most often caused by strained ligaments or tendons. If the pain is toward the distal portion of the arch (closer to the big toe), it may be related to the attachment of the plantar fascia, which is a major ligament supporting the arch.
The arch of the foot is a very complex structure, consisting of multiple bones and ligaments. Most causes of arch pain are related to the anatomy of the arch and the types of physical activity that you perform. For example, a classic set up for arch pain is people who engage in lots of high impact exercise (such as running) while wearing a type of athletic shoe that does not properly support their type of foot arch.
