Leneva for Ball of Foot Pain: A Revolutionary Fat Grafting Treatment
Understanding Ball of Foot Pain
he ball of the foot absorbs significant pressure with each step. Over time, the natural fat pad in this area can thin out, leading to pain, inflammation, and difficulty walking. Common causes of ball of foot pain include:
- Aging – Loss of natural foot padding over time.
- High-impact activities – Running and jumping can wear down foot cushioning.
- Footwear choices – High heels and poorly cushioned shoes increase pressure.
- Medical conditions – Diabetes, arthritis, or nerve conditions can contribute.
Symptoms include burning pain, tenderness, numbness, and discomfort when walking barefoot.
