Neuromas
A neuroma is a painful condition that occurs when nerve tissue thickens, most often between the third and fourth toes. The most common type, Morton’s neuroma, causes a burning or tingling sensation in the ball of the foot, often described as feeling like “a pebble in the shoe.”
Neuromas develop due to repeated pressure or irritation of the nerves, often caused by tight shoes, high heels, or foot deformities such as bunions or flat feet. Women and athletes are at a higher risk of developing this condition.
Conservative treatments include footwear modifications, custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and corticosteroid injections. For persistent cases, surgical removal of the neuroma may be necessary.
Our goal is to relieve pain, restore comfort, and prevent recurrence, allowing patients to walk without the discomfort and frustration caused by neuromas.
