Metatarsalgia
is a general term used to denote a painful foot condition
in the metatarsal region of the foot (the area just
before the toes, more commonly referred to as the ball
of the foot). This is a common foot disorder that can
affect the bones and joints at the soles of the feet.
Metatarsalgia (ball of foot pain) is often located under
the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th metatarsal heads, or more isolated
at the first metatarsal head (near the big toe).
This
condition can cause a variety of different soft tissue
and bony complaints which may result in severe pain
to the patient. The primary cause of metarsalgia is
overpronation. This can
be controlled via insoles.
 
Orthotic
Proof Sources and Safety Data.
The use of foot orthotics has been researched and tested
by leading institutions around the world, and is widely
accepted in the medical community. Foot Orthotics/ Foot
Insoles are used in both public and private hospitals
and clinics.
Clinical studies and field research verify the value
of orthotics in relieving fore foot pain and improving
structural integrity. Flexible orthotics control foot
motion without restricting function and creating compensatory
movement in other structures.

Dr
Foot Sport Insoles

Insoles (orthotics) re-align
the bones at the sole of the foot back to their neutral
position, using a in-built arch support to correctly
position the foot while your are walking. By controlling
over pronation, insoles also prevent excessive movement
of the foot joints.
Balancing the weight distribution
over the five (5) metatarsal bones helps remove excess
weight & friction, which commonly causes the pain
or burning sensation at the ball of the foot.

Dr Foot Sports Insoles work wonders
on problem-prone feet. These Insoles are biomechanically
engineered to help relieve metatarsalgia. The contoured
shape supports your feet in two directions, both lengthwise
and across the arch, for maximum relief of pain and
fatigue.
The special poron heel cushion
and the comfortable arch support helps to reduce shock
absorption and fatigue. Dr Foot Sport Insoles are engineered
to combat over pronation and provide greater stability
and maximum support. Ideal for patients seeking arch
support for prevention and treatment of Metatarsalgia.
