How do you reverse fat pad atrophy in feet?

The role of the foot fat pads in the feet is to cushion the foot during the strike phase of walking/running g ie. when the foot lands on the ground. The reduction of the fat pads would cause significant pain in the feet due to the cushioning on the underside of the foot being reduced. A Morton's Neuroma is thus caused by the increased pressure placed on the nerves in the foot during standing, walking, or running activities.

Insole orthotics can provide the necessary cushioning for the foot, thus reducing the pressure placed on sensitive areas of the foot and reducing pain by distributing the weight/force through the entire sole surface throughout the day. Coupled with conservative treatment modalities, insole orthotics will provide the necessary padding to reduce your foot pain and prevent it from worsening.

Using a minimally invasive method that involves injecting fillers into the sole of feet can improve foot padding. Additionally, you can use custom-designed orthoses with padding, shoes with extra padding, and heel cups to reduce the impact of walking on the foot and avoid aggravating heel fat pad atrophy.
