PAIN IN THE BALL OF YOUR FOOT?
Do you feel:
Burning or aching under the front of your foot?
Pain when walking barefoot?
Like you’re “walking on a pebble”?
Discomfort in high heels or after long periods standing?
You may be dealing with Metatarsalgia — a common condition caused by increased pressure through the ball of the foot.
This can be linked to:
Foot posture & alignment
Overloading of the forefoot
Tight calf muscles
Changes in fat padding under the foot
Footwear or activity levels
Common Signs:
✔ Pain under the ball of the foot
✔ Burning or sharp forefoot pain
✔ Feeling of pressure or walking on a lump
✔ Pain with prolonged standing or walking
✔ Toe discomfort or numbness
✔ Forefoot swelling or tenderness

Long-term foot function
The goal is not just temporary relief — but reducing pressure and improving how the foot functions long term.
