Have you heard of Ozempic Feet? If you are noticing this kind of pain, contact our Hoffman Estates office for an evaluation. If you have been taking medications like Ozempic for weight loss or diabetes you may have noticed a new discomfort in your pain in your feet especially the ball of your feet.
Some people lose weight so quickly they also lose the natural fat padding on the bottom of the feet, and our regenerative treatment options may help support painful areas under the forefoot. This is called fat pad atrophy. And it can be very painful while walking. Without the cushion on the ball of your feet you are walking on your bones. This results in extreme pain on the ball of the foot.
Why is a fat pad so important.
The fat pad ask like a pillow for your feet it cushions and shock absorption and protects your bones. It protects your skin from pressure. Without this you will have severe pain or aching in the balls of your feet. You may develop burning and stinging sensation. You may develop callus or thickened skin.
Is there a solution for this?
We use a regenerative medical therapy called Liposana
This is a natural fat tissue that replaces the last padding in your foot. It is ready to use and it is minimally invasive. No surgery is needed. And you walk out the same day. This gives immediate cushioning under the foot. It helps relieve pain and pressure. It can actually last up to about 18 months.
Liposarcoma can be used in many patients that suffer the same problems that Ozempic feet have. This includes fat pad atrophy from aging metatarsalgia which is the pain in the ball of the foot, plantar heel pain, calluses or ulcers, and pain after foot surgery.
