Morton’s Neuroma Physical Therapy

Morton’s neuroma Physical Therapy should be considered in the following circumstances:

1. In early stage Morton’s neuroma. Physical therapy combined with orthotics and over the counter pain relieving medications are a good first step in the treatment of early stage Morton’s neuroma. We define early stage as Morton’s neuroma pain which only occurs intermittently often aggravated with certain shoes.
2. Post Morton’s neuroma ablation. We perform a number of different ablation procedures to treat your Morton’s neuroma. After we have treated you, you should consider Physical Therapy to help strengthen your muscles and correct any walking (gait) deficiencies that may have arisen due to your previous Morton’s pain. Orthotics also helps with gait abnormalities. If ignored, these gait abnormalities can lead to back pain, arthritis or other problems.

Physical therapy and other holistic methods of care are valuable in the long-term management of Morton neuroma. In fact, individuals who opt for other modalities of care should also consider physical therapy to aid in the process of healing and rehabilitation. It is important to see a Physical Therapist that has significant experience with Morton’s neuroma.
