Sesamoiditis is a common pain syndrome that affects the forefoot. It is especially common in distance runners, football players and dancers.
In the foot, the Sesamoids are two small, pea shaped bones located under the long metatarsal bone at the ball of the foot. Sesamoid injuries can involve the bones themselves, the tendon and / or surrounding tissues of the big toe joint.
What causes Sesamoiditis?
Like most injuries, there can be variety of causes:
- Trauma / Repetitive Micro-trauma
- Improperly fitted or padded shoes
- Biomechanical stress
- Occupational standing

What our patients say
I had an excellent experience at Northernhay Clinic in Exeter. From booking the appointment through to the consultation itself, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The clinic is modern, spotless, and very calm, which immediately puts you at ease. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. I felt genuinely listened to and well cared for throughout. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality private clinic in Exeter, I would absolutely recommend Northernhay Clinic for orthotics and any podiatry needs
