What Causes Ball of Foot Pain?
Ball of the Foot pain is most often due to repetitive strain on the muscles, ligaments, bones and tendons of the feet. We have arches to our feet whose purpose is to “shock-absorb”. Commonly fallen or pronated arches will reduce the mechanical efficiency of each step that we take. The result is accumulation of stress, strain & tension. Eventually we feel foot pain.
