Midfoot pain that just won’t settle? It could be arthritis 👣
Midfoot arthritis occurs when the cartilage in the middle of your foot wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and difficulty walking. 
Common signs to look out for:
▫️ Pain on the top or middle of your foot
▫️ Stiffness, especially first thing in the morning
▫️ Swelling or a bony bump on the foot
▫️ Pain when walking, standing, or pushing off
▫️ Difficulty wearing certain shoes
These symptoms often worsen with activity or long periods on your feet. 
The good news?
Most cases can be managed without surgery 🙌
At Stance Podiatry, we focus on:
✔️ Footwear advice (think supportive, stiff-soled shoes)
✔️ Custom orthotics to offload pressure
✔️ Strength & mobility programs
✔️ Activity modification to reduce flare-ups
If pain persists, further options like injections or surgery may be considered. 
✨ Early management = better outcomes
If you’re experiencing midfoot pain, don’t ignore it—getting the right diagnosis can make all the difference.
