Mortons Neuroma By Dr Arden Smith

Have you ever noticed a burning, or tingling sensation between your toes; and in the ball of your foot? Ever feel like you’ve been walking around with a pebble in your shoe? It could be the sign of a neuroma in the foot and this painful condition is most common for women.

 

A neuroma is a painful condition in the ball of the foot in which one, or more of the nerves is getting pinched, or irritated. Some of the more common symptoms are: numbness and tingling, often a stabbing shooting pain, or a dull and aching pain.

 

A majority of patients will benefit from changing shoes to a wider, lower heeled, and more supportive shoe; and avoiding walking barefoot. Very often custom foot orthotics can help by redistributing pressure. Sometimes, an injection, or a series of injections is necessary.

 

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please call to make an appointment with one of our expert podiatrists at Advanced Podiatry of Manhasset, Huntington, Plainview, or Maspeth. One of our expert podiatrists will examine you and discuss what can be done to treat your problem before it gets worse.
