Forefoot Pain (Metatarsalgia)

A drop or collapse of the arch. As the arch flattens, the bone ends move closer together causing the soft tissue to be pinched or trapped.

Causes

• Incorrect Footwear
• Muscle imbalance
• Change in shoe height

Symptoms

• Pain in ball of foot
• Numbness/tingling in toes
• Sharp or shooting pains

Treatments
Alleviate pressure in ball of foot and create a metatarsal arch by inserting a pair of Sorbothane® Sorbo-Pro or Double Strike insoles.
