Metatarsal Pads: remedy for corns and calluses

Metatarsal pain can be used to remedy or reduce corns, calluses, or a break down in the metatarsal padding among other causes. The result of corns for instance is sore, painful feet. For pain relief, you could try metatarsal pads, which provide shock absorption and cushioning to the balls of the feet.

There are many causes for pain in the ball of the foot that can be helped by a metatarsal pad or sleeve. Some of these conditions are:

• Arthritis or other degenerative diseases that effect joints.
• An imbalance in the long bones of the foot.
• Conditions like diabetes that can lead to nerve damage in the foot.
• Aging, which can create a thinning of the fatty tissue in the foot.
• Sports which place a great deal of stress on the balls of the feet.
• Calluses that create an uneven distribution of weight on the foot.
• Ill-fitting shoes can put pressure on the bones of the feet.

Whatever the cause of your pain, a metatarsal pad can help relieve the pain. There are many different styles and materials used in foot pads. You can choose from foot pads that are made with gel, felt, or another cushioning material. Some ball of the foot pads are attached to your foot or shoe with an adhesive, while others have material that slips over one or more of your toes to keep it in place.

A metatarsal pad relieves pain by spreading your weight more equally over your foot, reducing pressure points and shock on the bones. These pads also provide extra cushioning for the ball of the foot. The pads are often recommended for people who experience or are at risk for metatarsal pain. If the pain is severe or if using a foot pad does not reduce the pain, consult with an appropriate medical professional for additional treatment and diagnosis.
