Specialist High Arched Feet Treatment in Chatswood
At Sydney City Podiatry, we are experts in high arched treatment for feet in adults, teens, and active individuals, so they can move comfortably and confidently. High arches, also known as cavus feet, place increased stress on the heel and ball of the foot, which may lead to pain, ankle sprains, difficulty finding supportive footwear, and instability. Our goal is to provide a way for you to improve your alignment, reduce the load on your feet, and enhance long-term foot function through personalised, evidence-based podiatry care.
Why Patients Choose Our High Arched Feet Treatment in Chatswood
Our podiatrists in Chatswood have extensive experience treating biomechanical foot conditions by completing thorough assessments to ensure you receive the best possible care. This is done by taking the time to understand your symptoms, daily activities, injury history, and your comfort goals so that we can provide the most relevant and individualised treatment possible.
Our extensive assessment process includes:
- The height of the arch and the shape of the foot when looking at your foot’s structure
- The way you walk and load your feet when running
- Tightness, weakness and compensation within the muscles supporting your feet
- When choosing footwear, consider your work demands.
- Previous cases of instability, history of sprains, or balance issues.
- This helps us create a tailored treatment plan that allows you to experience long-lasting comfort and mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral from a doctor to see a Podiatrist for high arches?
No, you can make an appointment directly with us, and we will evaluate the structure of your feet and your symptoms at your initial appointment.
Were high arches something I was born with?
Some people inherit high arches, but in some cases, high arches can develop due to muscular imbalances or neurological diseases. We will educate you about what causes your high arches.
Do high arches create long-term problems?
Yes, if you do not treat your high arches, they may lead to long-term injuries such as ankle sprains, forefoot pain, clawed toes and chronic pressure points. Early treatment can prevent a number of these types of injuries.
Will orthotics be necessary for me?
Custom orthotics can help many people with high arches by redistributing weight and improving stability while walking or running. After assessing your feet, we will let you know if orthotics would be appropriate.
How long will it take before I see improvements?
Depending on how severe your condition is, some individuals may see relief right away simply by switching to proper footwear or doing targeted exercises. Others will slowly improve as they progress through their orthotic and strengthening program. You can count on us to help you through each step of the way.
