What Is Fat Pad Atrophy?

There is a portion of the foot that is known as the fat pad. It is located under the heel and ball of the foot and provides the necessary cushioning that is needed to perform daily activities. Additionally, the fat pad helps in shifting the body weight without damaging neighboring tissues and ligaments. The condition that is referred to as fat pad atrophy is characterized by gradual thinning of the fat pad on the bottom of the foot. This ailment can cause severe pain and discomfort and may become worse when high heels are worn. It can develop as a result of an injury that has occurred, or from medical conditions such as diabetes and arthritis. Patients who have this condition may find mild relief when insoles are worn in the shoes and low impact exercises are frequently performed. Please consult with a podiatrist if you suspect you have this condition.
