Podiatry Treatment for Sesamoiditis in Chelmsford, Essex

At Chelmsford Physio, we offer expert podiatry treatment to help ease the pain of sesamoiditis. Based at Riverside in Chelmsford, we focus on reducing pressure around the toes, speeding up recovery, and helping you return to daily life without discomfort.

Sesamoiditis is a painful foot condition caused by inflammation in the small bones (sesamoids) beneath the big toe joint. It’s often linked to repetitive impact—common in runners, dancers, or those spending long hours on their feet. Wearing high heels or poor footwear can also increase your risk.



Symptoms usually include pain when walking or standing on the ball of the foot, swelling, bruising, and difficulty bending the toe. The discomfort may come on gradually and worsen with activity. If left untreated, it can become a long-term issue. Early treatment is key to recovery and preventing future problems.

Podiatry treatment aims to reduce inflammation, relieve pressure on the sesamoid bones, and restore comfortable movement. At Chelmsford Physio, we assess your symptoms and walking pattern before creating a personalised treatment plan.

We may suggest custom orthotics, footwear changes, or toe padding to offload the affected area. Strengthening and mobility exercises also play a part in long-term recovery. In some cases, we’ll advise rest, ice, or temporary activity changes to support healing.

Our goal is to reduce your pain, restore function, and stop the issue from returning—so you can get back on your feet, pain-free.
