Risk factors for developing Metatarsalgia include:
Protocol for treatment of pain in foot:
In the treatment of Metatarsalgia, two cold laser emitters are placed on either side of the affected area in a sandwich fashion to gain the maximum results.
The first protocol inhibits nociception and any associated myospasms and involves the laser being placed on the affected region for 5 minutes either 2 or 3 times per week. The amount of visits follows a decade rule, meaning that for every 10 years of age, 1 session is recommended for example; 30 years of age, 3 sessions required.
The second protocol or the tissue repair protocol is used to improve microcirculation and inflammation and involves 10-15 sessions with 1-2 visits per week lasting 1-2 minutes on each region affected.
