Understanding metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia is pain in the ball of the foot caused by overload of the metatarsal heads. It often develops gradually with high-impact activity or footwear with inadequate cushioning.
Treatment and management
Reducing forefoot load and supporting the metatarsal arch.
- Custom orthotics with metatarsal padding
- Footwear with adequate forefoot cushioning
- Activity modification and graded loading
