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.
