Morton's Neuroma

What is a 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.
