Metatarsalgia describes pain in the ball of the foot most commonly felt under the second, third or fourth metatarsal heads. Activities involving running or jumping often aggravate it.
Management includes rest, metatarsal pads, cushioned footwear, activity modification, and custom orthotics to redistribute pressure. If pain persists, injection therapy or further evaluation may be advised.
Delhi Foot provides assessment and tailored orthotic solutions to relieve forefoot pain and return patients to activity pain-free.
