Neuroma Treatment

Treatment for a neuroma, a painful condition caused by a thickening of nerve tissue in the ball of the foot, most commonly occurring between the third and fourth toes. Also known as Morton's neuroma, it produces burning pain, tingling, and numbness in the affected area.

In-Depth

What You Need to Know

Morton's neuroma develops when the tissue surrounding a nerve leading to the toes becomes thickened due to irritation or compression, often from wearing tight or high-heeled shoes, having certain foot deformities, or engaging in high-impact activities. Patients typically describe the sensation as standing on a pebble or having a fold in their sock. Conservative treatment options include wearing wider shoes with low heels, using metatarsal pads or custom orthotics, corticosteroid injections, and activity modification. If conservative measures fail, more advanced treatments include alcohol sclerosing injections, radiofrequency ablation, or surgical excision of the neuroma. Early intervention generally leads to better outcomes and may prevent the need for surgery.
