Morton's Neuroma

Podiatric Treatment Options:

• Footwear Modification: Wearing shoes with a wider toe box and lower heels can alleviate pressure on the neuroma.
• Orthotic Devices: Custom or over-the-counter shoe inserts can provide arch support and reduce nerve compression.
• Corticosteroid Injections: Your podiatrist may recommend corticosteroid injections to reduce pain and inflammation around the neuroma.
• Physical Therapy: Stretching and strengthening exercises can improve foot mechanics and reduce neuroma discomfort.
• Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be prescribed to manage pain and inflammation.
• Surgery: When conservative treatments fail, surgical removal of the neuroma may be considered.

Preventing Morton’s Neuroma:

• Choose footwear that provides ample room for your toes and good arch support.
• Avoid high heels or shoes with a narrow toe box for extended periods.
• Perform foot stretches to maintain flexibility and strength.
• Maintain a healthy body weight to reduce pressure on the feet.
