Plantar fasciitis is caused by a number of factors, such as overuse and muscle imbalances in the foot and leg, and it’s surprisingly common.
One cause of metatarsalgia is Morton's neuroma. When toes are squeezed together too often and for too long, the nerve that runs between the toes can swell and get thicker. This swelling can make it painful when walking on that foot. High-heeled, tight, or narrow shoes can make pain worse. This is common in runners, particularly of long distance.
Negative signs include a lack of obvious deformities, erythema, signs of inflammation, or limitation of movement. Direct pressure between the metatarsal heads will replicate the symptoms, as will compression of the forefoot between the finger and thumb so as to compress the transverse arch of the foot. This is referred to as Mulder's sign.
Plantar fasciitis or plantar heel pain is a disorder of the plantar fascia, which is the connective tissue that supports the arch of the foot. [2] It results in pain in the heel and bottom of the foot that is usually most severe with the first steps of the day or following a period of rest.

“Bunion correctors are designed to gently push the big toe back into a straighter position or keep it from rubbing against your shoes,” explains Dr. Gregory Alvarez, DPM, FACFAS.“They can ...
Morton's toe is the condition of having a first metatarsal bone that is shorter than the second metatarsal (see diagram). It is a type of brachymetatarsia. [1] This condition is the result of a premature closing of the first metatarsal's growth plate, resulting in a short big toe, giving the second toe the appearance of being long compared to the first toe.
A systematic review by Chen et al. (2024) examined the role of advanced imaging techniques, including high-resolution MRI and CT scans, in early diagnosis and treatment planning for Freiberg disease. The review highlighted the potential of these modalities in detecting subtle bone and cartilage changes, potentially allowing for earlier ...
