π£ Is pain in the ball of your foot holding you back?
Whether it's a dull ache after a long day or a sharp discomfort with every step, ball of foot pain is one of the most common conditions we treat here at Waverley Clinic in the heart of Farnham. π
Here's what could be causing it:
πΉ Metatarsalgia - burning or aching pain after long periods of standing or walking
πΉ Morton's Neuroma - feels like you're walking on a small pebble? This could be why
πΉ Sesamoiditis - sharp pain beneath the big toe joint
πΉ Stress Fractures - gradual, localised pain that worsens with activity
πΉ Fat Pad Atrophy - a loss of natural cushioning underfoot
The good news? Most cases respond well to conservative treatment - especially when caught early β
At Waverley Clinic, our expert podiatrists use thorough biomechanical assessments, custom orthotic insoles, and advanced shockwave therapy to get to the root cause of your pain - not just the symptoms.
