Have you noticed a sharp, burning pain or tingling sensation in the ball of your foot — especially when walking or wearing tight shoes? If so, you might be dealing with a common but often overlooked condition called Morton’s Neuroma.
What is Morton’s Neuroma?
Morton’s Neuroma is a painful condition that affects the nerves between the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. The nerve becomes irritated and thickened, often due to repetitive stress, ill-fitting shoes, or foot deformities, resulting in discomfort that can make every step feel unbearable.
Symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma:
✔️ Sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot
✔️ Tingling or numbness in the toes
✔️ The sensation of standing on a pebble or folded sock
✔️ Pain that worsens with activity or tight shoes, but eases with rest
What Causes Morton’s Neuroma?
Several factors can contribute to the development of this condition:
👠 High Heels or Tight Shoes — Footwear that squeezes the toes can irritate the nerve.
🏃♂️ Repetitive Impact — Activities like running or sports that put pressure on the forefoot.
🦶 Foot Abnormalities — Flat feet, high arches, or bunions can alter foot mechanics, increasing risk.
Effective Treatments Are Available!
At Family Foot & Leg Center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating Morton’s Neuroma. Treatment options may include:
💉 Corticosteroid Injections – to reduce inflammation
👣 Custom Orthotics – to relieve pressure on the nerve
🩺 Physical Therapy – to improve foot mechanics
🦶 Minimally Invasive Procedures – when conservative methods aren’t enough
The sooner you seek help, the better your chances are for avoiding long-term discomfort or permanent nerve damage.
