Ball of Foot Pain

Metatarsalgia

• This condition is caused by increased load on the bottom of the ball of the foot for a sustained period of time causing inflammation of the sift tissue structures underneath the metatarsal heads (bursa, flexor tendons, joint capsule).

• Changing balance and pressure loading with a Custom Orthotic will solve this condition quickly.

• In addition stretching the calf and hamstrings muscles will also help re-center balance on the foot thereby reducing stress loading.

Ganglion Cysts and Plantar Fibromas

• In these condition, there is a benign tumor getting abnormal pressure from weight bearing.

• Special Custom Orthotics with a plantar accommodation can be made isolating a pocket accommodation that offloads weight around tumor. Speak to Dr Craig Lowe on this issue for help.

Metatarsalgia Fracture

• Metatarsal stress fractures can be a warning sign that the ball of the foot can not take the forces or load being placed upon it.

• 2nd Metatarsal fractures are the most common and is due to a excessively mobile 1st metatarsal.

• Custom Orthotics are best suited to prevent and treat this condition. If the fracture is displaced, then a cast may be required followed up with Custom Orthotics.

Morton's Neuroma Treatment

• Custom Orthotics are highly recommended. Sometimes a local injection with a steroid can help reduce the swelling of the nerve but most important is to reduce the abnormal load bearing on the nerve site.

• Before considering surgery, custom orthotics should be tried. ultimately Custom Orthotics are the answer.

• There are special accommodations available to isolate offloading around the nerve site. Speak to Dr Craig Lowe for his recommendations.

New Treatments for Morton's Neuroma

• Laser surgery and advanced microsurgery have added better results in treatment.

• Ultimately, Custom Orthotics are the answer to offloading pressure at the nerve sits.

Metatarsal Insole

• Special Metatarsal Pads and forefoot posting can be added to offload metatarsal head pressures.

• Using 3DO Kinematic Imaging is a excellent tool for evaluating with precision how to accomplish this.

• Ultimately, Custom Orthotics are required to rebalance forefoot (ball of foot) pressures.

5th Metatarsalgia

• Pain at the ball of the foot by the little toe (5th digit).

• Custom Orthotics are the ultimate answer to reduce and re-dissipate proper loading at this area.

Pads for Metatarsalgia

• Metatarsal pads are commonly used to shift weight off the ball of the foot and allow the midshaft of the metatarsals to take up more weigh thereby reducing load on the metatarsal heads.

• This is accomplished through the use of a Custom Orthotic.
