Morton's neuroma is a painful condition that affects the ball of your foot, most commonly the area between your third and fourth toes. It involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes, caused by irritation, pressure, or compression from narrow footwear or abnormal foot structure.
Common Symptoms
A feeling as if you are standing on a pebble inside your shoe or a folded sock · Burning, sharp pain in the ball of the foot that radiates into toes · Tingling or numbness in the third and fourth toes · Pain that worsens when wearing tight shoes or walking
Our Treatment Approach
Clinical examination (Mulder's sign test) & ultrasound diagnosis → footwear guidance (wide-toe boxes, avoiding high heels) → custom orthotic pads (metatarsal pads) to relieve nerve compression → local injection therapy or surgical nerve decompression for persistent cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Morton's neuroma go away on its own?
Mild early-stage cases may settle by switching to wide, supportive shoes, but chronic nerve thickening usually requires metatarsal orthotics or targeted podiatric treatment.
How do metatarsal pads help Morton's neuroma?
Metatarsal insoles gently lift and spread the foot bones, taking pressure off the compressed nerve and eliminating burning pain.
