There are plenty of ways to resolve mortons neuroma pain quickly. We have had consistently good results in under 5 treatments using myotherapy techniques such as Cold Laser, Electro needling and massage to the calves – it is important to find the most appropriate footwear for your presentation.

Appropriate footwear and myotherapy techniques that improve the blood flow of the nerve – rapidly reducing swelling, inflammation and pain. Some neuromas are non-operable – we’ve had good results with them. Ultrasound guided cortisone is another non-surgical intervention – many people we have treated have had cortisone without success.

In the early stages of a neuroma symptoms may only occur intermittently. But when an aggravation to the nerve becomes severe enough that it occurs several times a month or the pain doesn’t really go away the inflammation in the nerve is unlikely to reduce without an intervention.

The usual sequence of events is that the inter digital swelling increases – leading to more severe numbness and tingling, worsening pain and movement avoidance. The neuroma is likely to increase in size and irritation which will affect what you can and can’t do more and more.

Different strategies work for different presentations. We have had profound success by using cold laser to help the nerve inflammation dissipate and electro needling to improve blood flow to the nerve. We have found this quickly leads to pain resolution.

Definitely not. The swelling is a nerve between the toes that has suffered repeated insult – usually from toe walking or high heels.

Using myotherapy techniques such as Cold Laser, Electro needling and massage to the calves – as well as finding the most appropriate footwear and toe domes.

Swelling is an early symptom of an irritation in the neuromal bursal complex. The common sequence is sudden pain, swelling and then eventual numbness and increasing pain.

This is incredibly variable. Assuming you are wearing appropriate footwear and are getting treatments close together – Myotherapy solutions usually occur within 5 treatments. It will be clear after the first treatment if your pain is reducing.

Morton’s neuroma does not show up on x-ray. The best imaging tools would be Ultrasound or MRI.

The scientific literature says that an ultrasound guided cortisone shot is effective in approximately 30-40% of neuromal insults. The people that present here have usually had multiple cortisone injections without positive results.

When neuromal symptoms are flared, the ideal neuroma shoe is not fashionable.  A wide toe box and little to no heels.  Many people find Birkenstocks less provocative – but people who are used to high heels may not find them comfortable because of tension in their calves and Achilles tendon.
