Morton’s neuroma is often painful and a handicap to your daily life. Make the effort to rid yourself of this problem through surgery, and learn more about other treatments that can help ease this unpleasant condition. 

What is Morton’s neuroma?

Morton’s neuroma is a problem due to a thickening of the nerves located between the toes (especially between the 3rd and 4th toes), as a result of continuous compression or friction. The nerve then becomes irritated, and this leads to inflammation.

The nerve begins to thicken until it forms a painful ball that can cause numbness, burning sensations or a sensation of small electric shocks in the toes and forefoot.

The podiatrist must properly grasp the patient’s expectations regarding the upcoming procedure. However, it is important for the patient to understand that in some cases they may not regain 100% of their foot’s nerve functions.
