Forefoot Pain at Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation
The arch of the foot plays a vital role in shock absorption, stability, and efficient walking mechanics. When the arch is too low, too high, or structurally unstable, it can lead to pain, poor biomechanics, and increased risk of injury.
Arch pain may arise from flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, or accessory navicular syndrome. At Foot and Ankle Rehabilitation, our podiatrists and physiotherapists provide specialist diagnosis and evidence-based treatment to restore function and reduce pain.
Common Causes of Forefoot Pain
Bunions (Hallux Valgus) – a progressive deformity of the big toe joint causing pain, swelling, and difficulty with footwear
Morton’s Neuroma – thickening or irritation of the nerve between the toes, producing burning or shooting pain
Metatarsalgia – general pain under the ball of the foot due to overload of the metatarsal heads
Sesamoiditis – inflammation of the small sesamoid bones beneath the big toe joint, common in runners and dancers
Hallux Limitus / Rigidus – stiffness or arthritis of the big toe joint, reducing motion and causing pain on push-off
