Morton’s Neuroma
Morton’s Neuroma is a painful condition caused by the thickening of tissue around a nerve in the ball of the foot, often between the third and fourth toes. This can lead to sharp pain, burning, tingling, or the sensation of a pebble stuck in your shoe. It is commonly associated with wearing tight footwear, high-impact activities, or biomechanical foot issues. At Collective Footcare and Orthotics, we offer expert assessment and personalized treatment options, including custom orthotics, footwear advice, advanced injection techniques and non-surgical interventions to relieve pain and restore comfort. If you’re experiencing foot pain, contact us today to book an appointment and take the first step toward relief.
What Causes Morton’s Neruoma?
Morton’s neuroma occurs when repeated pressure or irritation leads to the thickening of tissue around a nerve in the ball of the foot. Common causes include:
• Tight or high-heeled shoes – Restrictive footwear compresses the toes and puts excess pressure on the forefoot.
• High-impact activities – Running, jumping, and other sports can place repeated stress on the foot.
• Foot deformities – Conditions like flat feet, high arches, or bunions can alter foot mechanics and increase nerve compression.
• Biomechanical imbalances – Uneven weight distribution can put extra strain on the forefoot.
• Prolonged pressure on the forefoot – Standing for long periods or wearing unsupportive shoes can contribute to nerve irritation.
At Collective Footcare and Orthotics, we provide expert assessment and personalized treatment, including custom orthotics and footwear advice, to relieve pain and prevent further irritation. Contact us today to start your journey to pain-free feet!
