Morton’s Neuroma Treatment in Albury, Wodonga & Wagga Wagga

MORTON'S NEUROMA

What is Morton’s Neuroma?

Morton’s Neuroma is a thickening of the tissue surrounding a nerve in the forefoot. This thickening can irritate the nerve, leading to pain, burning sensations, or numbness in the toes.

Symptoms are often described as feeling like standing on a pebble or having something inside your shoe, and they may worsen with activity or tight footwear.

MORTON'S NEUROMA

What Causes Morton’s Neuroma?

Morton’s Neuroma is typically caused by repeated pressure or irritation of the nerve. Tight or narrow footwear, high heels, and high-impact activities can all contribute to the development of this condition.

Foot mechanics, such as high arches or abnormal loading patterns, can also increase pressure on the nerve and lead to symptoms over time.
