Celia it sounds like the problem I have - high arches.
I had heel spurs when I ran marathons but stretching solved that. My arches get extremely tight and I can feel a knot in both feet at the arch. A good deep tissue massage helps. As for orthotics, I'd only go the custom route. (I don't run anymore so the arches, PF are much better.)
Hadn't thought of acupuncture. Thanks!

Heyjoe415,
Glad you found some things that help. I have a knot on thevinstep of one foot the podiatrist called a fibroma. It doesn’t bother me much lately. I got some custom orthotics once, but they hurt my feet. That’s why I went with Vionic shoes most of the time and it’s worked out well.
I walk now and don’t run for several reasons. Wish I could.
The acupuncture that I had was for dry eye. I was there for that, but had severe pain in my foot and back from some aggressive weekend activity of packing for a move. Way too much standing and bending messed me up. The acupuncturist was super though and fixed me up at no extra charge! I guess he could have treated my foot with acupuncture but that would take time and the healing touch he gave was pretty quick.
