Most often found in the third and fourth toes of the feet, neuromas are known as a pinched nerve in between the toes. The condition often occurs in runners and is especially felt when the foot is pushing off the ground. Avoiding overly flexible running shoes and narrow-fitting high heels can help prevent Morton’s neuromas while corticosteroid injections and custom inserts can help treat it.
Morton’s Neuroma is a very uncomfortable condition to live with. If you think you have Morton’s neuroma consult with Dr. Harris L. Klear from Burlington County Podiatry Associates. Our doctor will answer any of your foot- and ankle-related questions.
Morton’s Neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a painful foot condition that commonly affects the areas between the second and third or third and fourth toe, although other areas of the foot are also susceptible. Morton’s neuroma is caused by an inflamed nerve in the foot that is being squeezed and aggravated by surrounding bones.
What Increases the Chances of having Morton’s Neuroma?
Morton’s neuroma is a very treatable condition. Orthotics and shoe inserts can often be used to alleviate the pain on the forefront of the feet.
