Morton's Neuroma

Morton’s Neuroma is a condition where the tissue surrounding the nerves in your foot thickens, which can cause additional sensitivity to pain. Poorly fitted shoes, or high heels and other formalwear that features a tapered toe box can cause the irritation that leads to this condition. Symptoms commonly include a pain in the ball of your foot, or the feeling that there is a small pebble stuck in your shoe. Luckily for you, Orthotic Shop offers Morton Neuroma pads and products that will relieve the aching without asking you to spend exuberantly.

If you think you’re suffering from Morton’s Neuroma, it’s important to have it looked at by a podiatrist, since untreated irritation can lead to permanent nerve damage. During such examinations, doctors may squeeze the toes to gauge sensitivity, as well as the presence of an audible click. This may be followed by x-rays or MRI scans. Following this, you will most likely be recommended to purchase Morton’s Neuroma pads, orthotics or other relief products that will redistribute pressure away from the lesion. Furthermore, you may be asked to steer clear of tight footwear, as well as sport an elastic sleeve that will reduce pressure and provide extra cushioning. With proper treatment of the Morton Neuroma pads and orthotic products, you should be completely recovered within a few months, though severe cases may need surgery.
