Metatarsalgia is pain at the metatarsal head level of the foot. It is located on the bottom of the foot just proximal to the toes. There are multiple causes of metatarsalgia neuromas, fat bad atrophy or hammer toes to name a few. One treatment that can be used for metatarsalgia is orthotics or insoles for your shoes. When choosing an orthotic for metatarsalgia you need only focus on one trait: the orthotic must have a metatarsal pad. This pad will provide extra padding in the area and reduce trauma to the area well, at the same time off loading the region. One option is just to buy your own metatarsal pad.

Either way you need a metatarsal pad, sometimes it really is that simple.
