Pain in the ball of my foot/Neuroma/Nerve Entrapment

Pressure on a nerve can create a numbing pain in the ball of the foot that can be treated conservatively. Simple adjustments to inserts and the use of injection therapy can be important steps in your treatment. Alternatively, the pain in the ball of your foot can be the result of an injury to a muscle or ligament. This can worsen into more severe problems like fractures.
