Morton’s Neuroma

What It Is: Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition that typically affects the ball of the foot, most commonly between the third and fourth toes.
Symptoms: May include a sharp, burning pain or a sensation of having a pebble under the foot when walking.
Causes: It results from a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes, often caused by consistent irritation or pressure, and abnormal biomechanics.
Treatment: Options range from conservative measures such as changing footwear, using orthotic devices, and resting, to more advanced interventions such as corticosteroid injections or surgery in persistent cases.
