What is the cause of forefoot pain? How to treat it?

? The forefoot is very painful, what method can be effectively treated?

Forefoot pain can generally be diagnosed as plantar pain, which is caused by strain of transverse arch of forefoot or nerve compression stimulation. Patients can wear corrective shoes and horizontal arch pads to restore and maintain the arch of their feet, and then strengthen exercise, jump in place or do physical therapy massage, and the symptoms will be alleviated.

If the effect is not good, you can also take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers under the guidance of a doctor to relieve symptoms. If forefoot pain occurs in the elderly, it is not excluded that it is caused by calcium deficiency. Patients can choose to supplement foods and drugs with high calcium content, such as sesame paste, peanut butter or calcium tablets, which can alleviate the pain in the forefoot caused by calcium deficiency. For plantar pain that is ineffective in conservative treatment, you can choose surgical treatment.

Relaxation metatarsal pain is mainly caused by chronic injury of transverse arch caused by congenital dysplasia of the first metatarsal, which is primary metatarsal varus and metatarsal overactivity. The main clinical manifestations are persistent burning pain on the bottom of the forefoot, callus on the forefoot, tenderness on the plantar surface and lateral compression of the metatarsal bone to relieve the pain.

The disease mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly women aged 30-50, and those with narrow and loose feet are mostly unilateral. Relaxation of plantar pain is often effective after non-surgical treatment, and very few people need surgery. Compressive plantar pain requires surgical treatment with satisfactory results. The key to treat this disease is to distinguish the cause.
