Alter pressure: With a bone bruise on the ball of the foot try to purchase some type of orthotic that will help rebalance the foot and transfer the pressure from this area. Also use a shoe with a softer sole to prevent further shock to the area.

Off load area: Rest is the key. The use of a metatarsal pad will off load the bruised area.Can also use ice and anti-inflamatories if you can take them. If pain persists see your podiatrist.
