In this video I demonstrate how to place a metatarsal pad on an orthotic to help treat metatarsalgia (ball of the foot pain). When I am not using a custom orthotic, I use the Tread Labs (https://alnk.to/gVLoPTc) and purchase the additional metatarsal pads. Here are some important pointers...
✅ First, find the 2nd, 3rd and 4th distal metatarsal joints.
✅ Choose an appropriately sized metatarsal pad for your foot.
✅ Place the metatarsal pad just behind the metatarsal head where the pain is. NOT on the sore spot!!
✅ I prefer to place the pad under the orthotic as to provide a more gradual bump/drop off for the bottom of the foot.
✅ Having new orthotic and metatarsal pads can be a little uncomfortable at first, so it's not uncommon to take a few days to break them in.
