Typically occurring in both feet, brachymetatarsia is a condition characterized by a short metatarsal, most commonly the 4th. Metatrasals are the long bones behind the toes. The foot has five metatarsals and this condition results in one shortened toe, again most commonly the 4th.
The causes of brachymetatarsia are most often genetic or traumatic, meaning that you can be born with it or it can be induced by premature closure in the metatarsal growth plate due to a trauma.If you have a markedly shortened 4th toe then you likely have brachymetatarsia, This condition can be managed with custom orthotics.

It is rare to find someone who walks with both feet in perfect alignment. Often we walk on the inside or outsides of our feet, or with our toes or heels rotated inward. These typical walking patterns can cause many problems not just with the feet but also for the whole body as the alignment of the feet sets the foundation for the whole body's alignment.
They usually grow slowly, but can cause severe irritation when the size becomes too large. Ganglions are usually caused by repeated irritation that weakens joint or tendon lining. If you wear boots or other restrictive footwear, you may be more susceptible to this condition. Individuals with bone spurs may also find that the pressure of these bony growths can cause ganglions as well.
Hallux Rigidus is an arthritic condition that affects the joint at the base of the big toe (The first metatarso-phalangeal joint). If you suffer from this condition, you will notice pain and stiffness in the big toe. The symptoms often worsen while walking, running or performing other exercises and when the weather is cold or damp.

The doctor and staff were absolutely amazing! I had an emergency toe injury and they were able to get me an appointment immediately. From the second I walked in everyone was so nice and caring and the doctor was fantastic. I highly recommend this doctor, the whole experience was perfect! So grateful we found him.
