Metatarsalgia
What is Metatarsalgia?
Metatarsalgia is a term used to describe general pain in the ball of the foot, specifically around the metatarsal heads (where the toes join the forefoot). The pain may affect one or several of the metatarsal heads. There are several factors that can contribute to metatarsalgia, including:
- Poor footwear or high heels
- High-impact activities (e.g., running)
- Foot deformities like bunions or hammertoes
- High arches or flat feet
There are various causes that can lead to the development of metatarsalgia, and some of these can be prevented.
How can Physiotherapy Treat Metatarsalgia?
Physiotherapy offers a range of treatments that can help relieve the pain caused by metatarsalgia. The physiotherapists at acephysiosports.com provide a comprehensive assessment, diagnosis and treatment service to all patients. Common treatments used to manage metatarsalgia may include:
- Orthotics or arch supports to offload pressure from the metatarsal heads
- Advice on proper footwear, including cushioned soles and wide toe boxes
- Ice therapy to reduce inflammation and pain
- Stretching exercises for the calf muscles and plantar fascia
- Strengthening exercises for the intrinsic foot muscles
- Taping or padding techniques to redistribute pressure away from painful areas
- Manual therapy to improve joint mobility in the foot and ankle
- Gait analysis and correction to address poor walking or running patterns
