Capsulitis what to do

Capsulitis is an inflammation of the covering of a joint - possibly more than one. It is usually caused by trauma or abnormal structural functioning, which overstretches the ligaments that attach one of the toe bones to a metatarsal bone. Wearing high heels or other poorly fitting footwear and repetitive activities that bend the toes, such as ladder climbing, are also known causes.

Pain under the ball of the foot is the most common symptom of capsulitis. Capsulitis is often misdiagnosed as Morton's neuroma because of similar symptoms

Noninvasive treatments are used to resolve capsulitis, including:

  • Wearing low-heeled shoes with firm soles that fit properly.
  • Decreasing or temporarily discontinuing the activity responsible for the onset of the inflammation.
  • A short course of oral anti-inflammatory medication. Note: Please consult your physician before taking any medications.
  • Arch supports with pads that get pressure off the sore joints.
  • Possibly custom-made orthotics.
  • Cortisone (or homeopathic) injections.
