A member asked:
Can a strained arch get worse if not treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better or Worse.: There is no guarantee that it will get worse. The problem is, there is no guarantee that it will get better. Mild arch strains may need no more than rest and supportive shoes. More severe strains may require more aggressive treatment to not only treat the strain initially but also prevent it from developing into a bigger problem.
