This band of tissue is important in correct foot mechanics and for the transfering of weight from the heel to the toes. When the tissue in the arch of the foot becomes irritated and inflamed, simple movements can be painful.
Numbness (Neuroma)
Pain and numbness in the ball of the foot is often caused by the enlargement of a nerve that runs between the ends of the long bones, called metatarsals, of the foot. Also known as a neuroma or tumor of the nerve, it is usually benign. Symptoms are a sharp pain in the ball of the foot, numbness, and a burning sensation especially after standing or walking in tight shoes, high-heeled shoes or dress shoes. This is treated with our Custom Comfort Insoles and/or physical therapy, and in extreme sever cases cortisone injections, or surgery.
Achilles tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis is often caused in women by high-heeled shoes and happens when the tendon connecting the calf muscle to the back of the heel bone is inflamed. Men develop this when the same tendon is overstretched through any form of stressful physical activity like running or bending. In both cases, the pain can be treated with therapy, such as our Custom Comfort Insoles, or in extreme severe cases surgery.
