Metatarsalgia can lead to pain, sensitivity, or changes in the way you walk. Care begins with understanding the underlying cause and finding an approach that supports comfortable movement.

Treatment Options

Treatment may include activity modification, footwear changes, metatarsal padding, orthotics, stretching, and treatment of any underlying biomechanical problem.

Finding the Cause

Pain under the ball of the foot can come from several different conditions, so treatment is directed at the specific source of pressure or inflammation.

When to Seek Care

Evaluation is recommended when forefoot pain persists, worsens with activity, or makes normal shoes and walking uncomfortable.

Schedule an appointment with Dr. Neville to discuss treatment for pain in the ball of the foot.
