All You Want To Know About Morton's Neuroma

4/7/2017

What is Morton's Neuroma?

Morton’s Neuroma is experienced as burning, numbness or tingling (nerve pain) in the ball of the foot and extends out towards the toes. It may feel like the client is standing on a small pebble. There is nothing that can be seen from outside the foot, it is just a sensation that is experienced by the individual.
The person often feels relief when removing tight fitting shoes, and stretching or rubbing their feet.
Morton's Neuroma is a swelling of a nerve in the foot, and when pressure is put on the swollen nerve by nearby bones and tendons, this causes further irritation and inflammation of the nerve, and hence pain. It mostly affects middle aged women who wear high heels often.

What Causes Morton's Neuroma?

High heels or tight fitting footwear, such as worn in sports like skiing or rock climbing, can cause Morton’s Neuroma. The compression of the foot can cause the nerves within to become irritated and swollen, causing pain.
People who have other foot issues such as bunions, hammertoes, fallen or high arches are at a higher risk of experiencing Morton’s Neuroma, especially if they are putting a lot of stress on their feet, (eg. by doing lots of running).

When to Seek Treatment for Morton's Neuroma?

Early treatment of Morton's Neuroma facilitates faster recovery. Bowen Treatment can help  alleviate the pain, and works to improve the circulation and rate of healing, 
Without treatment and continuing activities that are aggravating the Neuroma  the pain will likely get worse.

    Whilst I believe it's excellent to be involved with your own health, it's important to know only medical doctors can perform a medical diagnosis.
