Welcome to the first episode of The TPC Podcast—where “TPC” this time stands for The Pain Chat! In this episode, we tackle one of the most common yet often misunderstood complaints in podiatry and musculoskeletal (MSK) care: ball of foot pain (also known as forefoot pain or metatarsalgia).

Join our expert clinicians as they break down the root causes of forefoot pain—ranging from Morton’s neuroma and bursitis to overuse injuries and footwear issues—and explore effective prevention strategies and treatment options. You’ll learn how podiatry and physio approaches, including custom orthotics, ultrasound-guided injections, and targeted exercises, can help relieve pressure, reduce inflammation, and restore pain-free movement.

Whether you’re an athlete looking to stay active or someone seeking relief from chronic discomfort, this episode has you covered. Tune in to discover practical tips, insider knowledge, and evidence-based solutions for keeping your forefoot healthy and pain-free. Step confidently into better foot health with The TPC Podcast!
