Sclerotherapy is one of the leading treatments for the removal of spider veins, reticular veins, and small varicose veins because it is minimally invasive, safe, and relatively pain-free.
The metatarsal bones, or metatarsus are a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the hind-and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes.he base of each metatarsal bone articulates with one or more of the tarsal bones at the tarsometatarsal joints, and the head with one of the first row of phalanges at the metatarsophalangeal joints.
Dr. Roberts explains the fundamental problem is that, with the angulation of the first metatarsal, the bone does not bear its âfair shareâ of the bodyâs weight. This can cause not only bunion formation but also crossover toes, hammertoes and metatarsalgia â chronic pain and tenderness in the ball of the foot.
