Sesamoiditis Treated With Dancer's Pads

Sesamoiditis is foot condition where the small bones under the big toe joint become inflamed. This can occur from an injury, overuse and poor shoes. One of the most successful but not well know treatment is to use a dancers pad for sesamoiditis.

Dancers Sesmoiditis pads are foot cushions designed to off-load the ball of foot, especially the big to joint. They distribute the weight around the sesamoid bones to allow them to heal. Dancer's pads are manufactured in adhesive backed felt of foam and a self-sticking, re-usable gel. The felt and foam sesamoid pads can be placed either in the shoe or directly on the foot. Most physicians will apply them directly to the foot for greater effect.

When the area surrounding the sesamoid bones in the foot becomes inflamed, the result is a painful condition called sesamoiditis. Sesamoiditis affects the area under the big toe, causing discomfort in the foot during normal activities like walking. Searching your symptoms online might bring up rest as the best way to relieve sesamoid pain, but taking time off work is not always feasible. Even though avoiding walking isn’t practical for many people, treating sesamoid pain is easy, inexpensive and convenient with self-adhesive dancers’ pads.
