Ball of Foot Pain & What You Can Do About It
The ball of foot area is the padded portion on the sole of your foot between the toes and the arch. Often for ball of foot issues, arch supports or foot orthotics are prescribed to help decrease the pain and improve foot alignment. Arch supports or foot orthotics for this problem usually include a metatarsal pad for realigning the metatarsals or ball of foot area.
Metatarsalgia: An Overview
Metatarsalgia is a term used to describe painful forefoot conditions in the metatarsal region, or the area often referred to as the ball of the foot. One of the most effective treatments for metatarsalgia are foot orthotics (shoe insoles). Orthotics designed for metatarsalgia generally have a pad behind the ball of the foot called a metatarsal pad. They work to distribute weight away from the painful area to other areas of the foot.
Arch Pain Overview
The arch is the region of the foot between the heel and forefoot. People often have arch pain due to excessive positions of the foot, such as high arches or low arches. The most common and most effective treatment for arch pain is arch supports (foot orthotics). Arch supports work to absorb shock, distribute your weight more evenly and correct any biomechanical problems.
Morton's Neuroma Overview
Morton’s neuroma is a common foot problem where a nerve in the foot becomes inflamed and irritated. Orthotics arch supports can be designed to help with the pain. Foot orthotics designed for Morton’s Neuroma will generally have a metatarsal pad or neuroma pad behind the ball-of-the-foot. This helps relieve some of the pressure caused by the inflammation.
Arch Supports and Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia involves a sharp, dull or burning pain around the forefoot, or ball of foot. Arch supports or foot orthotics designed for metatarsalgia will work to minimize the stress on the metatarsal bones and metatarso-phalangeal joints, or the joints at the base of the toes (at the ball of the foot). Metatarsal pads are often added to arch supports to help relieve pressure at this painful point on your foot while supporting the arches.
Bunions and Arch Supports
Bunions are one of the most common forefoot deformities and can be very painful. They are often conservatively treated with arch supports or footbeds. Bunion formation is often associated with overpronation and orthotic arch supports can be an effective measure for dealing with the overpronation, which will help reduce pressure on the bunions.
Arch supports are also known as, foot orthotics, orthotic insoles, shoe inserts, and footbeds.
