The treatments for metatarsal tendonitis include conservative treatment, medication, physical therapy, and surgery. 1. Conservative treatment: Conservative treatment is the main treatment for metatarsal tendonitis. Conservative treatment includes daily stretching of the Achilles tendon and metatarsal tendon membrane, applying ice packs to the metatarsal tendon membrane, and reducing the amount of daily activities. At night, the ankle can be immobilized with a splint, keeping the ankle dorsiflexed at about 5 degrees. Patients should also wear shoes with thicker soles or softer insoles to assist in the treatment. 2. Medication: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications (e.g., ibuprofen, piroxicam, diclofenac sodium) can be taken to relieve heel and ball of foot pain caused by tearing or degeneration of the plantar metatarsal tendon membrane. Steroid injections (e.g., dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, prednisone) can relieve plantar pain, inflammation, and swelling. 3. Physical therapy: Physical therapy mainly includes shock wave therapy, electric wave therapy and magnetic wave therapy. Shockwave therapy can relieve foot pain, soften tissues, stimulate the nervous system and cell function to achieve the purpose of treatment. 4. Surgery: Surgery includes metatarsal tendon membrane cutting, heel osteotomy and so on. Surgical treatment has a longer recovery time and is not usually performed. Patients who choose conservative treatment or physical therapy have a longer recovery time cycle and need to continue stretching training of the Achilles tendon and the metatarsal tendon membrane. Surgically treated patients need to be immobilized in splints or casts after surgery and have regular follow-ups in the hospital. Medication or rehabilitation exercises are strictly prescribed.
