Sesamoiditis : symptoms and treatments - PiedRéseau Joliette
At PiedRéseau Joliette, we offer specialized treatment for sesamoiditis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the sesamoid bones located under the metatarsal head near the big toe. This service is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience discomfort and limited mobility due to this condition, which is common among athletes and dancers. Our clinic is equipped to provide timely interventions to alleviate symptoms and improve overall foot health.
Our approach to treating sesamoiditis includes a thorough diagnosis to confirm the condition and rule out other potential issues. Our podiatrists utilize various diagnostic techniques, such as visual inspections, biomechanical exams, and digital x-rays. This comprehensive assessment allows us to tailor treatments effectively and ensure that patients receive the most appropriate care for their specific needs.
We provide a range of medical treatments for sesamoiditis, including custom-made foot orthotics, therapeutic taping, and orthopedic shoes. In some cases, cortisone injections or laser therapy may be recommended to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Our goal is to enhance mobility and comfort while addressing the underlying causes of the condition.
The PiedRéseau Joliette team consists of Dr. Élisabeth Provencher and Dr. Mylène Abran, both co-owners and experienced podiatrists. They are supported by a dedicated staff, including foot care nurses and assistants, who work collaboratively to deliver quality foot care services. Our team is committed to providing efficient and effective treatment for all foot-related issues, including sesamoiditis.
