Neuroma Specialist in Cumming, GA
Let Our Care Get You Back on Your Feet
A neuroma (Morton’s neuroma) is a benign condition that most commonly occurs in the small nerve that runs between the metatarsal bones in the ball of the foot and into the third and fourth toes. Narrow shoes, high heels, injuries, or foot abnormalities can all result in nerve irritation. This irritation results in inflammation and scar tissue forms around the nerve, causing pain that can quickly knock you off your feet. When this happens, call our neuroma specialist in Cumming, GA at Forsyth Foot & Ankle Associates.
Do You Have a Neuroma?
Unfortunately, neuromas do not go away on their own, and their symptoms can worsen over time. You should schedule an exam as soon as possible if you have been experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Pain in your forefoot
- Pain between your toes
- Swelling between your toes
- Tingling or numbness in the ball of your foot
- Pain when you put weight on the ball of your foot
The sooner you visit us for your foot pain, the more likely it is that you’ll be able to avoid surgery.
Treatment for Neuromas
The amount of discomfort or disability you are experiencing may determine the best treatment for your neuroma. Initially, something as simple as wider shoes or flats may be effective. Ice applied to the bottom of the foot may also relieve the pain associated with a neuroma. If these measures fail to relieve the symptoms, we recommend a consultation with our podiatrist to discuss further options.
