A plantar plate tear occurs when this ligament becomes overstretched or torn, often due to repetitive pressure on the ball of the foot. This can lead to pain, swelling, and a feeling of instability in the affected toe, sometimes causing it to drift out of alignment. Common causes include high-impact activities, improper footwear, and biomechanical imbalances. We focus on a comprehensive assessment, manual therapy, strapping, injury rehab, and orthotic solutions to offload pressure and support recovery. Our goal is to help you walk pain-free again while preventing further damage.
