Morton’s Neuroma is a common condition affecting the nerve between the toes, most often between the third and fourth toes. It can cause sharp, burning pain, tingling, or numbness in the forefoot, especially during walking or when wearing tight shoes.
At The Foot Clinics, we provide expert diagnosis and treatment for Morton’s Neuroma across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga, focusing on relieving pressure, reducing nerve irritation, and restoring comfortable movement.
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 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.
