Sesamoiditis : symptoms and treatments - PiedRéseau Drummondville
At PiedRéseau Drummondville, we offer specialized care for sesamoiditis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the sesamoid bones located beneath the metatarsal head near the big toe. This service is particularly beneficial for individuals who engage in activities such as dancing or running, where discomfort and limited mobility can significantly impact daily life. Our team is dedicated to identifying the symptoms early to prevent further complications, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective treatment.
Our clinic is equipped to diagnose sesamoiditis through a combination of visual inspections, biomechanical evaluations, and imaging techniques. By utilizing these methods, our podiatrists can create a tailored treatment plan that addresses the specific needs of each patient. This may include medical treatments such as custom foot orthotics, therapeutic taping, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, among others. Our goal is to alleviate pain and restore mobility, allowing patients to return to their normal activities as quickly as possible.
