Morton’s Neuroma Treatment at Mount Joy Foot Clinic & Orthotic Centre

Do you have ball of foot pain, feel a burning pain between your toes and some numbness between your toes? You may have a condition called Morton’s neuroma. This is a common foot condition in which the tissue around a nerve in your foot thickens, most often between the third and fourth toes. It’s often described as haveing a pebble in my shoe or a wrinkle in their sock, even when nothing is there. You may also experience numbness or tingling in your toes. The pain may be worse when you walk, stand for long periods of time, or wear tight shoes.

There are a number of reasons Morton’s neuroma can happen. Wearing high heels or shoes that cramp your toes can put pressure on your feet. Some people are more at risk of developing the condition, such as people with bunions or flat feet or who do a lot of running and high-impact sports.

We listen carefully to your symptoms and examine your feet at our Markham foot clinic. We may suggest imaging, but often we can diagnose you by talking and examining your foot. Treatments for Morton’s neuroma are simple and effective. Our chiropodist may recommend that you wear more comfortable shoes or try custom shoe inserts (orthotics) or add padding to relieve pressure. We sometimes use medicine or a special shot to help with pain. These simple steps will make most people feel much better. But if the pain persists, we’ll talk you through the next options. We want to get you back to moving comfortably at our clinic.

If you think you have Morton’s neuroma, we can help. Call us today to book an appointment, and we will work together to find the right solution.
