The foot fulcrum orthotic includes a semi-compressible ring and attachment method to the foot. When worn around the midfoot, said semi-compressible ring forms a fulcrum to raise the ball of the foot up off the mattress and provides compression relief to the ball of the foot. This compression relief, when combined with other treatments, speeds the healing of metatarsalgia including Morton's neuroma, corns, calluses, and bunions. A plurality of ring styles are disclosed including continuous (FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C), non-continuous (FIGS. 3, 4, 6A, 6B) with a gap for foot circumference size adjustment. A plurality of attachment methods are disclosed including single heel straps (FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C), multiple heel straps (FIGS. 3, 4), socks (FIGS. 10A, 10B, 10C, 11A, 11B), and single-piece molded boot (FIGS. 9A, 9B).
