Metatarsalgia, often referred to as forefoot pain or also recognised as “ball of the foot†pain, can disrupt your participation in daily activities. This condition results from excessive pressure on the metatarsals, the bones in the forefoot just below the toes. Common causes involve intense physical activity, improper footwear and foot deformities.Â
Living with untreated metatarsalgia means enduring persistent pain that worsens with activity, making simple tasks like walking or standing uncomfortable. At Lidcombe Podiatry, we deliver effective Metatarsalgia treatment, ensuring you can return back to your daily routine without pain.

Causes of Bursitis
Metatarsalgia can result from various factors:
High-Impact Sports
Activities that involve running or jumping can exert excessive pressure on the metatarsals.
Foot Deformities
Conditions like high arches or hammertoes can lead to metatarsalgia.
Improper Footwear
Shoes with inadequate padding or support can trigger this condition and worsen pain symptoms.
Excess Body Weight
Carrying extra weight significantly increases the stress on your metatarsals.
Symptoms of Metatarsalgia
Recognising the symptoms early can lead to a more effective treatment:
- Sharp, Aching Pain: This is commonly felt in the ball of the foot, especially when standing or walking.
- Tingling or Numbness: These sensations might occur in the toes adjacent to the pain.
- Increased Pain When Active: Activities that place pressure on the foot worsen the pain.
