Orthotics for Sesamoiditis

Sesamoiditis is a common ailment that affects the forefoot, typically in people who engage in physical activity like running or dancing. The term is a general description for any irritation of the sesamoid bones, which are tiny bones within the tendons that run to the big toe. Like the kneecap, the sesamoids function as a pulley, increasing the leverage of the tendons controlling the toe. Sesamoiditis’ most common symptom is pain under the big toe joint.
