Morton's Neuroma

A neuroma is the swelling of a nerve due to a trauma or compression. The most prevalent site for a neuroma is on the ball of the foot

Pain often starts as numbness or tingling, sometimes as a burning sensation in the toes. As this cycle progresses, symptoms may worsen, causing more and more pain.

Your podiatrist will diagnose the neuroma and will carry out a physical examination or Biomechanics assessment.

Treatment involves reducing the shear forces between the metatarsal heads by controlling the amount of pronation the foot goes through.
We offer Radial Shockwave Therapy as a course of treatment

Occasionally cortisone injections are also used and the Podiatrist will refer you for this.

Sometimes the podiatrist will refer you for surgical removal as a last resort.
