Is there already a solution for problems with the fat pads? And I don’t mean ‘insoles’, but rather an injection or transplant.

For some time now you can reduce the pain under the balls of the feet by means of botox injections. This treatment, known as a ‘foot filler’, is already performed regularly in the UK. The procedure there costs about 400 euros.
The procedure is now most often used on women who have been walking in heels for a long time and have developed a condition called ‘stiletto tarsal’ as a result. The treatment does not make the feet look better, but it protects the nerves and soft tissue. This makes walking easier and, above all, painless. It must be taken into account that there can also be negative consequences, such as recurring complaints, nerve injuries and the like.
Do you also have a question? Then ask one of our experts. Always go to your doctor with urgent questions, the experts are not the right person for that. They also do not diagnose. You can find the other conditions here.
