Metatarsal Foot Support Brace, Wraps For Injury

Foot metatarsal injury, medically known as Metatarsalgia, is a condition in which the ball of your foot becomes inflamed or painful. It may develop when you participate in activities that involve jumping and running. Metatarsalgia may cause sharp, burning, or aching pain in the ball of your foot. The pain may worsen when you stand, walk, run, or flex your foot. The condition may also feel like you have a pebble in your shoes. Common causes may include intense training or activity, excess weight, poorly fitting shoes, stress fractures, and foot deformities.

Almost everyone can develop Metatarsalgia, but you may be at higher risk if you wear high heels, are overweight or obese, and regularly participate in high-impact sports. If left untreated, Metatarsalgia may lead to some complications. You may feel pain in other parts of the same or opposite foot. Pain may also develop in other body parts, including the lower back or hip. Not all foot problems require medical care. Sometimes, you may feel foot pain after standing for a long time or an excessive workout.

But, it’s best if you do not ignore the foot pain, which may last more than a few days. Consult your GP if activity modifications or changing footwear do not help improve the foot pain. To help pinpoint the source of pain, your GP will examine it while standing and sitting. He will also ask about your activity level and lifestyle. You might also need an X-ray test to identify a stress fracture or other problems.

Experts suggest some conservative measures or self-care strategies that may help reduce the symptoms of Metatarsalgia. Rest, ice massage, wearing metatarsal pads, and pain relievers are the most effective home remedies. You may require surgery if complications arise. Taking good care of your feet may help prevent metatarsal injury and other foot problems.

Wear shoes that fit correctly, and avoid wearing high heels. Always stretch and warm-up before training and sports. Increasing the intensity and amount of athletic activity gradually may also help reduce the chances of Metatarsalgia.

If you suffer from Metatarsalgia and other foot problems, you need to wear foot supports. Foot supports provide cushioning to take the pressure off your feet, provide stability and comfort. 360 relief provides you with a range of foot supports that help with Metatarsalgia and other foot problems.

How long does it take for foot metatarsal injury to heal?
