Forefoot Pain
Posted in General Podiatry Conditions Podiatry
Forefoot pain (often referred to as metatarsalgia), can have many causes. The key is to make an accurate diagnosis and to ascertain the cause for the condition.
In most cases a diagnosis can be made using our on-site high resolution ultrasound machines whilst foot biomechanical assessment will often show the cause for the condition. There are different treatment techniques including orthotic therapy, joint mobilisation, rehabilitation, and injection therapy to treat forefoot pain. Kinetic analysis (pressure/force analysis) is one of the key investigations used to determine the cause for metatarsalgia. In many cases, when the pressures are normalised by treatment, symptoms will improve.
