SchemaMetatarsalgia

Metatarsalgia is a common overuse injury described as pain in the forefoot

The Original SANDDUNE™ can be utilized in a rehabilitation regimen for the the plantar neuroma known as metatarsalgia, a common problem for many runners and dancers, which is characterized by pain and/or numbness in the forefoot.

People coping with this ailment have symptoms that are varied among individuals. Some people experience shooting pain affecting toes that are side by side (2nd & 3rd or 3rd & 4th toes).

Others describe a feeling similar to having a pebble in their shoe or walking on pins & needles, a prickly/tingly feeling known as paresthesia or PVD/PAD as doctors refer to it. Burning and numbness may also be another symptom experienced.

This ailment can also be the result of a poor diet, a vitamin deficiency, the metabolic disorder diabetes or inflammation like rheumatoid arthritis.

The comforting properties of the Original SANDDUNE™ provides a cushioning and malleable platform, rendering it an effective instrument to utilize in the early segments of a rehabilitation plan.

    There are many factors for foot pain, the most common one is bad footwear and a combination of specific foot bio-mechanics which are faulty, like flat feet or over pronation.
