Morton's Neuroma
Morton's Neuroma Explained
Morton’s Neuroma is a painful thickening of a digital nerve, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. Typical symptoms include forefoot burning or stabbing pain, tingling into the toes, and the feeling of “a pebble in the shoe”, often aggravated by tight shoes, heels or impact activity.
Diagnosis is clinical and may be supported by ultrasound. We also assess foot mechanics and footwear, because overload, toe crowding or abnormal pressure can perpetuate nerve irritation. Your plan may span simple measures (footwear changes, orthoses, activity adjustments) through to targeted procedures where appropriate.
