What Causes Curvature In Between The Ball Of The Foot And Toes?

From the ball of my foot (actually both feet) to the tips of my toes, they turn upward abnormally. Recently a massage therapist told me it was because a ligament had shortened keeping my toes from being able to straighten out flat. He said he could cold laser that ligament. Is that really the cause, and if so, what is the treatment. Also, how did it shorten?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Do you have any pain over the region? There are many causes for the curving of foot like arthritis, plantar fascistic, etc. I advise you to take X-ray of both foot AP and lateral view and consult an orthopedics. Don't take up any treatment with out your consultant opinion.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
