What Are the Treatments for Mortons Neuroma?
Morton’s neuroma is defined as a thickening of nerve tissue between the third and fourth toes. The exact cause is unknown, but researchers believe tight shoes, high heels, high foot arches, flat feet, bunions and hammer toes increase the risk of a Morton’s neuroma developing. Morton’s neuroma will often cause foot pain between the third and fourth toes, numbness and tingling. After a doctor rules out a fracture, she generally will order an ultrasound, which can detect a Morton’s neuroma. A variety of treatments are available.
