Sesamoiditis

Advanced Solutions

Specialized Treatment for Sesamoiditis

Sesamoiditis is an inflammatory condition affecting the small sesamoid bones beneath the ball of the foot, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty bearing weight. Our surgeons use advanced diagnostic imaging and targeted treatment protocols to reduce inflammation and restore normal foot function. Through a comprehensive approach combining conservative care and surgical intervention when necessary, we can eliminate pain and help you return to your normal activities.

Our treatment strategy begins with conservative measures designed to reduce stress on the affected sesamoid bones. We recommend specialized orthotics, activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, and targeted physical therapy to decrease inflammation and allow healing. For patients with persistent symptoms or chronic sesamoiditis unresponsive to conservative care, we offer surgical options including sesamoid removal or repair to permanently resolve the problem. Most patients experience significant pain relief within two to four weeks of starting treatment, with full recovery and return to normal footwear and activities typically achieved within four to eight weeks depending on the intervention used.

Sesamoiditis commonly results from repetitive stress, high-impact activities, improper footwear, or biomechanical imbalances that place excessive pressure on the ball of the foot. Beyond treatment, we emphasize proper shoe selection, activity modification, custom orthotics, and preventive strategies to protect your sesamoid bones and prevent recurrence. By addressing sesamoiditis and its underlying causes, we help you achieve lasting pain relief and maintain an active lifestyle without restriction.
