The Awesome Arches of the Foot
To understand why other injuries occur in the feet, it is important to consider the three arches of the foot. The figure below shows the medial longitudinal, lateral longitudinal, and transverse arches of the foot. The talus, cuboid, and intermediate cuneiform bones function as keystones to these arches. These bones have joint surfaces that form a wedge to provide support. Interlocking joint surfaces also provide support.
Although skeletal structure is important to arch support, without the ligaments, the arches would collapse. The plantar ligaments (ligaments on the bottom of the foot), which are stronger and larger than dorsal ligaments (ligaments on top of the foot), tie the inferior edges of the bones together. The most important ligament in the maintenance of the medial longitudinal arch is the plantar calcaneonavicular, or spring ligament.1,2

There
is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements
can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying
cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening
ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis
from developing.
