Cavus Foot
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cavus foot is a condition in which the arch of the foot is higher than usual, which changes how weight is placed and distributed when walking. It can affect one or both feet.
Common causes: Sometimes it is hereditary, and other times it is associated with neurological or muscular conditions that are worth evaluating.
Common symptoms: Pain in the sole or heel, difficulty finding comfortable footwear, instability when walking, and the formation of calluses from uneven pressure.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist is the one who studies the structure of the foot, with support from the podiatrist in its care and from pediatric orthopedics when it involves children. If the high arch causes pain or limits your activities, a professional evaluation helps guide the most appropriate management.
