NERVE DISORDERS

MORTON’S NEUROMA

Our Podiatrist Can Help You Find Relief From Your Neuroma Pain

A neuroma is an enlargement of the nerve that provides sensation to the toes. This enlargement can be due to poor foot structure, poorly fitting shoes or trauma to the feet.

Common Symptoms of a neuroma are:

• Pain between your toes

• Swelling between your toes

• Pain in your forefoot

• Pain when you put weight on the ball of your foot

• Numbness or Tingling in the ball of your foot

IF SO, YOU MAY HAVE A NEUROMA.

Treatment for neuromas typically includes padding, custom molded orthotics, oral anti-inflammatory medication, cortizone injections or alcohol sclerosing therapy which usually eliminates the need for surgery. If these conservative treatments do not relieve the symptoms, surgical excision may be performed.

NEUROPATHY

Do your feet feel numb, do they tingle, are they burning? Are you experiencing shooting pains, a loss of balance or the feeling that your sock is rolled up under your toes?

IF SO, YOU MAY HAVE PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY.

There are over 100 known causes of peripheral neuropathy and you may be especially prone to developing this condition if you are a diabetic.

Our Foot Doctor can perform a simple skin biopsy in which we will determine the concentration of small nerve fibers in your lower extremity. This allows us to diagnose and effectively treat your condition. Treatment for peripheral neuropathy includes nutritional supplements, prescription medications, injection therapy and in some cases surgical procedures to release swollen and compressed nerves.
