Sesamoid Injuries

Sesamoid Injuries can affect comfort, stability, and daily movement after injury or repeated stress. Dr. Neville can evaluate the area and discuss a thoughtful path back to the activities you enjoy.


Treatment Options


Treatment may include activity modification, off-loading pads, stiff-soled footwear, orthotics, or immobilization to reduce pressure beneath the big toe joint.


Advanced Treatment


Stress fractures, non-healing injuries, or persistent sesamoid pain may require more prolonged protection and, in selected cases, surgical treatment.


When to Seek Care


Evaluation is recommended for persistent pain beneath the big toe joint, especially after increased activity or a direct injury.


Schedule an appointment with Dr. Neville to discuss treatment for a sesamoid injury.
