Ball of Foot Pain | Pain in the Heel

Medical Conditions: Ball

	Big Toe Arthritis (Hallux Rigidus) Big toe arthritis is a major cause of big toe pain and stiffness, and with time it gets increasingly harder to bend the toe until eventually the toe becomes rigid.
	Bunion (Hallux Valgus) A toe bunion is typically found on the big toe. That visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot.
	Callus A callus (also known as a corn) is an area of tough, hardened skin on the foot formed as a response to pressure or friction and can wind up being a cause of foot pain.
	Foot Fracture (Metatarsal Fracture) Your foot is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles and tendons - and fractures of the toe and metatarsal bones are some of the most common foot injuries and causes of foot pain.
	Neuroma The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton's neuroma, which occurs at the base of the third and fourth toes. The thickening, or enlargement, of the nerve is the result of compression and irritation of the nerve.
	Ulcer Foot / Toe There are three common types of leg and foot ulcers. Each one has a unique treatment program to effectively heal the wound and keep it from returning.
