Scalp irritation/inflammation
This is also known as capsulitis. Capsulitis is an inflammation or irritation of the capsule surrounding a joint; these symptoms are common in rheumatic conditions but can also occur independently of them.
It is particularly painful when wearing shoes or putting weight on the foot, and there is often swelling as well.
The treatment is initially aimed at reducing the pressure on the joint capsule. In the acute phase, this can be achieved through felt therapy. Afterwards, a (corrective and/or protective) orthosis may be prescribed. Advice on footwear is also provided.
The expected outcome is positive; there will be a reduction in pain symptoms.
