Neuroma, also known as Morton’s Neuroma, is a pinched nerve, or benign growth of nerve tissue characterized by pain in the ball of foot (typically between the third and fourth toes). Individuals suffering from neuroma often aching pain between the toes while walking.
Neuromas are often associated with:
Treatment for neuroma can be either conservative or surgical depending on the severity of the issue and the lifestyle and background of the patient.
Advancements in Sclerosing Injections for neuromas have a very high success rate for permanent treatment.
Other conservative treatment options for neuromas include adding arch supports and orthotics for shoes to relieve pressure, practicing physical therapy such as stretching exercises and massage, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and rest.
Surgical treatment options for neuroma include removing part of the nerve tissue through neurectomy, freezing the nerves using cryogenic neuroablation, and decompression surgery which relieves pressure on the nerve by carefully severing certain ligaments.
Recovery time for nerve decompression is fairly quick, with weight-bearing possible right after surgery. For neurectomy, recovery can range from 3 to 6 weeks depending on the location of the incision.
Patients should limit activities and elevate their feet as often as possible after all surgical treatments.
When considering treatment for pain in the ball or neuroma, understanding insurance coverage is crucial. Most insurance plans cover treatments ranging from conservative therapies to surgical interventions, depending on the necessity and the specific terms of the policy.
At Modern Foot & Ankle, we work closely with a wide range of insurance providers to ensure our patients receive the comprehensive care they require. For a list of providers we accept, please visit our insurance page for more information.
