How to Treat Sesamoiditis with Dancer’s Cushions

Dancer's cushions, or sesamoid cushions, can be used as part of the treatment for sesamoiditis. These cushions are specifically designed to provide support, cushioning, and offloading of pressure from the inflamed sesamoid bones in the ball of the foot. Here's how you can treat sesamoiditis using dancer's cushions:

Consult a healthcare professional: If you suspect you have sesamoiditis, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or orthopedic specialist. They can confirm the diagnosis, assess the severity of your condition, and provide specific guidance on the use of dancer's cushions for your individual case.

Choose the right dancer's cushions: Dancer's cushions are available in various shapes, sizes, and materials. Look for cushions that are specifically designed for sesamoiditis or metatarsalgia (ball of the foot pain). They should have a cutout or indentation in the center to provide a void or cushion around the sesamoid area.

Positioning the dancer's cushions: Place the dancer's cushions inside your shoes, right under the ball of the foot and around the sesamoid bones. The cutout portion should align with the inflamed area to offload pressure and provide cushioning. Ensure that the cushions are properly positioned and centered to provide maximum support and relief.

Wear appropriate footwear: Choose shoes that have enough space to accommodate the dancer's cushions without causing discomfort or tightness. Opt for shoes with a wide toe box to reduce pressure on the sesamoid bones and provide more room for the cushions. Avoid high-heeled shoes or shoes with narrow and pointy toe boxes, as they can exacerbate the condition.

Gradual adjustment and monitoring: Start by wearing the dancer's cushions for shorter periods initially and gradually increase the duration as your foot adapts. Monitor your symptoms and assess the effectiveness of the cushions in providing pain relief and support. If necessary, consult with your healthcare professional to make any adjustments or modifications to the use of dancer's cushions.

Combined treatment approach: Dancer's cushions are often used in conjunction with other treatment methods for sesamoiditis. These may include rest, ice therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy exercises, and modifications in activity levels or footwear. Follow the advice and recommendations of your healthcare professional to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

Remember that dancer's pads can provide temporary relief and support for sesamoiditis, but they may not address the underlying causes of the condition. It's essential to address any contributing factors, such as foot mechanics or overuse issues, and follow the guidance of a healthcare professional to effectively manage sesamoiditis and promote healing.
