  2. What is a Morton's Neuroma? Morton’s Neuroma is a painful condition that affects the ball of the foot, often causing sharp, burning, and tingling sensations. The condition is caused by the thickening of the tissue around a nerve that leads to your toes. Morton’s Neuroma can be debilitating and affect your daily activities, but with the right care and treatment, you can manage the symptoms and improve your quality of life.

  3. CAUSES OF MORTON’S NEUROMA • Morton’s Neuroma is caused by the thickening of the tissue around a nerve that leads to your toes. The thickened tissue can be caused by a variety of factors, including: • Footwear: High heels or shoes that are too tight can increase pressure on the ball of your foot and cause Morton’s Neuroma. • Foot deformities: Structural issues, such as high arches or flat feet, can increase your risk of developing Morton’s Neuroma.

  4. SYMPTOMS OF MORTON’S NEUROMA • The symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma include: • Sharp, burning, or tingling pain in the ball of the foot. • A feeling of a lump or foreign object in the ball of the foot. • Numbness or a lack of feeling in the toes. • Pain that worsens with activity or when wearing tight shoes.

  6. FINDING AN EXPERT PODIATRIST When looking for a podiatrist to treat your Morton’s Neuroma, it’s important to find someone who specializes in nerve pain of the foot and ankle. You want a podiatrist who has experience diagnosing and treating Morton’s Neuroma, and who can develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

  7. MANAGING MORTON’S NEUROMA LONG-TERM Managing this condition long-term involves a combination of proper footwear, Morton’s Neuroma Exercises at home, and regular visits to your podiatrist. It’s important to wear shoes with a wider toe box, low heels, and good arch support to reduce the pressure on the ball of your foot. You should also continue to do at-home exercises to maintain the flexibility and mobility of your foot.
