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.
