Introduction

Welcome to The Foot Practice, your go-to destination for comprehensive foot care solutions. As trusted podiatrists specializing in the treatment of metatarsalgia and various foot conditions, we are committed to helping you find effective remedies for your pain and discomfort.

Understanding Metatarsalgia

Metatarsalgia is a common foot condition that causes pain and inflammation in the ball of your foot, specifically around the metatarsal bones. It often occurs due to excessive pressure or overuse of the foot, improper footwear, or underlying foot deformities. At The Foot Practice, we understand the impact metatarsalgia can have on your daily life, and our team of experienced podiatrists is equipped to diagnose and treat this condition effectively.

Comprehensive Foot Care Solutions

At The Foot Practice, we offer a wide range of specialized foot care services to address metatarsalgia and other related foot conditions. Our dedicated team of podiatrists combines their expertise with the latest advancements in podiatric medicine to provide you with personalized treatment options.

1. Diagnosis and Evaluation

Proper diagnosis is the first step towards effective treatment. During your initial consultation, our podiatrists will perform a thorough examination and evaluate your medical history to determine the underlying cause of your metatarsalgia. This comprehensive assessment allows us to tailor a treatment plan that suits your specific needs.

2. Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that provide support and alleviate pressure on the affected area. Our podiatrists will take precise measurements of your feet and create orthotics that are customized to address your unique foot structure and metatarsalgia condition. These orthotics promote proper alignment and reduce stress on the metatarsal bones.

3. Footwear Evaluation and Recommendations

Wearing inappropriate or ill-fitting footwear is a common cause of metatarsalgia. Our podiatrists will assess your current footwear and provide recommendations to ensure you have the right shoes for your specific foot condition. We consider factors such as arch support, cushioning, and toe box width to help you find shoes that alleviate discomfort and support healthy foot function.

4. Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation

Physical therapy exercises and rehabilitation techniques play a crucial role in the holistic management of metatarsalgia. Our skilled therapists will guide you through a personalized exercise program aimed at strengthening the muscles, improving flexibility, and restoring proper foot function. They will also teach you techniques for pain management and prevention of future foot conditions.

5. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)

In severe cases of metatarsalgia, where conservative treatments may not suffice, we offer Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT). This non-invasive procedure utilizes high-energy shock waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain. ESWT has shown promising results in relieving chronic foot pain caused by conditions such as metatarsalgia.
