Have you ever experienced doing something when suddenly, you feel a tiny solid object in your shoes, without knowing where it came from? The discomfort eventually becomes painful that you stop and take off your footwear to remove whatever that thing is. That’s what it feels like to have Morton’s neuroma. For those with Morton’s neuroma, relief doesn’t come easily.
Morton’s neuroma relief can be achieved in various ways. There are now non-invasive treatments that can be done to achieve Morton’s neuroma relief. It’s always best to consult with a health professional first to learn which Morton’s neuroma relief method is appropriate for you.
OTC drugs are medicines you can take without a prescription. For Morton’s neuroma relief, the specific medications you can take are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These can ease the inflammation and help with Morton’s neuroma relief in the short term.
Patients with heart, stomach, liver, or kidney problems who seek Morton’s neuroma relief should consult a doctor first before starting NSAIDs. Those without health problems should discontinue taking the medication if they experience stomach pain, vomiting with blood, having dark urine, and other side effects. It’s best to look for other Morton’s neuroma relief methods if these happen.
Habitually wearing constrictive or high-heeled shoes can cause and exacerbate the condition. High heeled shoes or shoes with a narrow toes box compress or add excessive pressure to the nerves, thus increasing the risk of Morton’s neuroma. It’s best to avoid wearing them for Morton’s neuroma relief.
In more persistent cases, however, custom-made shoes may help. These include shoes with a wide toe box which helps avoid direct impact of force on the nerves. You can also wear shoes which can be adjusted to fit the size of your feet. It’s best to always consider which type of footwear suits the level of comfort you need for Morton’s neuroma relief.
This approach aids in Morton’s neuroma relief through various ways, such as the following:
Stretching and Massages
Help loosen firm tendons and ligaments to increase flexibility
Toe Exercises
Help strengthen the muscle and minimize the effect of Morton’s neuroma
Ankle Exercises
Help provide more stability to your ankle and lessen the chance of further injury
Morton’s Neuroma is an increasingly painful condition. It occurs when the tissue around one of the toe nerves thicken, causing a burning sensation in the ball of the foot. Some people have the feeling of walking around with a small rock constantly poking the ball of your foot.
Don’t let Morton’s Neuroma interfere with your daily routine. At The Center For Morton’s Neuroma, we’ll help you find the right treatment. We specialize in state-of-the-art non-surgical treatments for Morton’s neuroma.
There are a wide range of treatments and procedures which can be used to treat Morton’s Neuroma symptoms. However, each individual responds differently to certain kinds of treatment. That is why at The Center For Morton’s Neuroma, we carefully make our diagnosis and treatment plan before deciding on the best approach to treat your Morton’s Neuroma. Here are some of our procedures:
Unlike Radio Frequency Ablation which uses heat, Cryotherapy Ablation makes use of extremely cold temperatures. This procedure is done by using liquid nitrogen or argon gas in order to freeze and destroy tissues affected by Morton’s Neuroma.
This treatment involves injecting a sclerosing agent like concentrated alcohol into the affected tissue. This eliminates or at least significantly decreases the ability of the nerves to transmit pain signals, thereby causing pain relief.
Our custom-designed orthotics will help you with your biomechanical foot issues such as problems with walking and running. We offer two types of designs that ensure maximum comfort and rigidness for your feet. You can choose from:
Comfort Orthotic
This is designed to offer maximum support and shock absorption.
It also fits perfectly into any type of sneaker design.
Support Orthotic
Its 16-18mm heel cup depth is designed to provide fuller heel support. It is also made of thicker plastic which makes for better rearfoot control.
This minimally invasive treatment makes use of high-frequency radio waves which target nerves affected by Morton’s Neuroma. The heat emitted by these radio waves breaks down proteins which prevents nerve fibers from transmitting pain. In addition, this procedure stimulates the creation of new blood vessels which promotes healing.
This method involves harnessing your body’s natural ability to regenerate and repair in order to promote the healing of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles and joints. Platelet Rich Plasma Injections are done by taking a sample of your own blood and then centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets. After this, the activated platelets are then administered into the damaged tissues under ultrasound guidance.
For temporary pain relief, Corticosteroid Injections can be used on the affected area. This medication, however, should not be used as an initial treatment due to its adverse long term effects. Some of these include weakening of the muscles and ligaments which could lead to pain, instability and fat pad atrophy.
This treatment transmits pressure waves onto the affected area through the use of Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology. These waves help stimulate metabolism, enhance blood circulation, and accelerate the healing process.
