Morton's Neuroma

Overview

Morton's neuroma is irritation or thickening of nerve tissue in the forefoot, commonly between the third and fourth toes. Symptoms may include burning pain, tingling, numbness or the sensation of standing on a small object. Roomier footwear, pressure relief, orthotics, injections or other treatments may be considered depending on severity.

When to See a Podiatrist

If you're experiencing persistent pain, swelling, changes in skin or nail appearance, difficulty walking or bearing weight, or a condition that isn't improving with basic home care, it's a good idea to schedule an evaluation. Early assessment often leads to simpler, more conservative treatment options.
