Metatarsalgia

Metatarsalgia is foot pain in the ball of your foot which is the area between your arch and your toes. It gets its name because the pain experienced is located in the metatarsals located in this part of the foot.

In this condition, one or more of the metatarsal joints becomes inflamed and possibly painful. People often develop a callus under the affected joint. There are many causes of Metetarsalgia including injuries, arthritis, poorly fitting shoes, and working on hard surfaces. Sometimes changing your shoes can help fix the problem, but we also recommend custom molded orthotics.
