text: ARCH PAIN\nThe human foot is made up of 26 bones, 19-foot muscles, 13 leg muscles and 15 ligaments along with over a mile of tiny blood vessels and nerves. The arch forms a bridge between the front and the back part of the foot. It is made up of bones, ligaments and tendons and is subjected to a lot of stress and work. Ill-fitting shoes, long periods of time on your feet, and hard surfaces can all cause arch pain. Arch pain itself is often an early symptom telling you that the bones, ligaments and muscles of the foot are being overworked and are getting tired. Tired legs and feet, foot and leg cramps, and perhaps even low back pain can frequently accompany it.
