Commonly caused by tight-fitting footwear or abnormal forefoot alignment, Morton’s Neuroma is the growth of a nerve or benign tumor due to irritation of nerve cells. Usually found between the third and fourth metatarsal heads, it’s characterized by numbness, pain or a burning sensation or the blanching of the toes. We can recommend better footwear, metatarsal head support or cortisone injections. In some cases, surgery may be required.
Our new treatment is sclerosing alcohol injections. These have far less side effects than cortisone and is safe to inject. Studies show that the only side effect is the injection of the syringe needle itself. The rest is symptoms free. This is effective and safe.
