Morton's Neuroma Treatment

Targeted decompression, offloading, and therapy to stop burning nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in the ball of your foot.

Overview & Clinical Approach

Morton's neuroma is a painful condition characterized by the thickening and irritation of the tissue surrounding one of the digital nerves leading to your toes, usually between the third and fourth metatarsals. Patients frequently describe feeling as though they are walking on a bunched-up sock or hot marble. Dr. Harper provides accurate diagnostic tests and non-surgical nerve calming protocols.

Symptoms & Clinical Signs To Watch For

Burning sensation in the ball of the foot that radiates into the toes
Sensation of standing on a stone, pebble, or bunched sock
Numbness, tingling, or cramping in the third and fourth toes
Urgent desire to take off shoes and rub the forefoot

Treatment Plan & Patient Benefits

Metatarsal pads and biomechanical offloading orthotics
Footwear widening and toe box pressure relief
Targeted anti-inflammatory injections to reduce nerve swelling
Surgical nerve decompression or excision for refractory cases

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wide shoes help cure a neuroma?

Wider footwear with a generous toe box relieves lateral compression on the digital nerve, dramatically reducing symptoms in early stages.

What if conservative treatments don't relieve the burning?

If non-invasive therapy does not resolve discomfort, Dr. Harper performs precise outpatient neurolysis or neuroma excision to eliminate the irritated nerve segment.
