Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Morton’s Neuroma

Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Morton’s Neuroma
May 17, 2021EducationUncategorizedUsefull info Links

Morton’s Neuroma is a common painful condition that occurs most often between the third and fourth toes. Morton’s Neuroma is seen more in middle-aged women, but anyone can develop the condition.

Morton’s Neuroma can cause burning pain in the ball of the foot or the feeling of standing on a small rock. The pain might feel numb or tingly.

What Causes Morton’s Neuroma

Morton’s Neuroma can become noticeable by wearing tight shoes and especially high heels. They cause the nerve in your feet to compress under pressure and become irritated. When wearing inappropriate shoes long-term the nerve will thicken and become more painful.

Morton’s neuroma can also develop due to other forms of nerve compression caused by abnormal gait related to flat feet, high arches, bunions, and hammertoes.

Repetitive stress from running and other activities that are high impact on the ball of the foot can cause Morton’s Neuroma to develop pain. Morton’s neuroma is a type of neuropathy.

Treating Morton’s Neuroma

There is a range of treatment options for Morton’s Neuroma. It is best to try to find a noninvasive method of treatment before seeking more invasive methods.

Some common non-invasive methods include:

  • Wearing appropriate footwear with over the counter or custom inserts
  • Physical Therapy, especially with a focus on core foot strength
  • Ball of the foot massages, exercises and stretches
  • At home stretches and exercise
  • Resting
  • Icing
  • Acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology and massage

Invasive methods of treatment include:

  • Injections of corticosteroids, anti-inflammatories, ethanol or local anesthetics
  • Surgeries such as neurectomy (remove nerve tissue), cryogenic surgery (freeze nerve tissue), decompression surgery (releasing ligaments around the nerve)
