Understanding Morton’s Neuroma

Morton’s neuroma is not a tumor. It happens when the nerve between your toes becomes thick, inflamed, or irritated. That extra tissue presses on the nerve and causes pain and burning under the ball of your foot. It can look like a small, raised area or a swollen spot between your toes, often between the third and fourth toes. You usually won’t see a big lump, but you might feel a tender bump or fullness in that area, especially when you press on it or wear tight shoes.

If you have the following signs and symptoms, you will most probably need Morton’s neuroma treatment in Mesa.

Common Signs and Symptoms

Sharp, burning, or stabbing pain in the ball of your foot
Tingling or numbness in the toes next to the neuroma
Feeling like there’s a pebble or small object under your foot
Pain that become worse when you wear tight shoes or walking long distances
Relief when you remove shoes or rest

Causes

Increased pressure on the nerve between your toe bones
Tight shoes that squeeze your toes
High heels that shift weight forward
Foot deformities like bunions, hammertoes, high arches, or flat feet
Repetitive stress from sports or long hours on your feet

Morton’s Neuromas Diagnosis and Treatment in Mesa

At Foot & Ankle Specialty Centers, first, we listen to your story and examine your foot. We press between the toes or squeeze the bones to find tenderness. Sometimes we use ultrasound or imaging to confirm.

Here are Morton’s neuroma treatments in Mesa that we may use:

Treatment	How It Works
Shoe & lifestyle changes	We change your shoes to ones with wide toes, low heels, and better support to ease pressure.
Orthotics / padding	We use inserts or pads to shift weight off the nerve and cushion the area.
Anti-inflammatory meds & ice	We use medicines and cold packs to lower swelling and ease pain.
Corticosteroid or nerve injections	We inject medicine near the nerve to calm inflammation and reduce nerve irritation.
Minimally invasive procedures or surgery	If needed, we may reduce pressure, remove part of the nerve, or correct nearby tissue to stop pain.

Don’t ignore foot pain; it rarely goes away on its own. Contact Foot & Ankle Specialty Centers for expert Phoenix Morton’s neuroma treatment and get back to walking comfortably again.

Success depends on how advanced your condition is. For many, orthotics, injections, and shoe changes work best. If those fail, minimally invasive surgery or nerve removal may have high success rates.
