Mortons Neuroma: Main Causes And Treatment With Orthotics

Common Symptoms of Mortons Neuroma

A neuroma is defined as a non-cancerous swelling of nerve tissue that has the potential to grow in any part of the body. Mortons Neuroma occurs when there is compression to the nerve found between the third and fourth metatarsal bones in the foot, producing thickening of this nerve tissue. As the nerve is compressed, symptoms such as numbness and tingling of the toes begin to occur. These symptoms are more pronounced when there is weight placed on the ball of the foot, causing pain.

What Leads to Mortons Neuroma?

Causes of Mortons Neuroma are not unequivocally clear, but anything that can constrict this nerve can cause this tissue to thicken. Wearing high-heeled shoes that can constrict the toes can be a cause of Mortons Neuroma. Also, being flat-footed can cause the metatarsals to lower, which creates pressure on this nerve. Thickening of this tissue can also be caused by irritation to the nerve or injury.

What Leads to Metatarsalgia?

Another foot condition that is characterized by pain in this are is known as ball of foot pain. This condition often happens to women who wear high-heeled shoes, or people who wear shoes with no cushion or arch support. A weakened foot structure can cause the bones in the foot to drop. We can experience pain when we wear shoes that do not provide the proper support and cushion. Also, people that suffer from overpronation can experience ball of foot pain in the ball of their feet. A condition called over-pronation occurs when the ankles tend to roll inward and can lead to arch pain.

Diagnosis and Treatments for Mortons Neuroma

Proper diagnosis is the key to determining the correct treatment for this condition. A podiatrist usually examines the foot by pressing on the area of pain, squeezing the toes and pressing into the gap between the third and fourth toes. The doctor can simply feel the neuroma, in most cases. The doctor may also try pushing on the painful area and squeezing the entire foot at the same time to elicit a clicking noise, which is called Mulder’s sign. If the doctor unable to determine the presence of a neuroma, he or she can utilize other tools such as an x-ray to discard the possibility of any broken bones. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) allows doctors to clearly diagnose a neuroma.

Treatments for Morton’s Neuroma can consist of several options, from resting the foot to surgery. In many cases the doctor will try the most conservative treatments first. These include resting the feet, wearing more comfortable shoes and trying orthotic shoe inserts to improve arch support. Orthotics also assist in distributing your weight more evenly over the entire foot, relieving the pressure on the ball of the foot. In many cases the combination of these conservative treatments does provide relief from the pain that you may be experiencing. In severe cases, where these options are not helpful, your doctor may prescribe injections to attempt to decrease the size of the neuroma. In extreme situations, surgery may be the only feasible option.

Our foot care is an extremely important factor in our overall health and well-being. If you are suffering from chronic foot pain, it is recommended to have a physician examine your feet as soon as possible in order to determine the cause.
