Morton’s Neuroma
Morton’s neuroma occurs in a nerve in the foot, often between the third and fourth toes. The condition involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes. A neuroma is caused by repeated friction and pressure on the nerve, which in turn causes the nerve to scar and become thicker, the result is numbness, tingling, or burning between the toes. Pain or burning also may shoot backwards up the foot into the leg. Ordinarily, there are no outward signs of this condition.
Morton’s neuroma may also occur in response to irritation, injury, pressure or for unknown reasons. As the day goes on, sufferers may experience more pain that is relieved when shoes are removed. Symptoms are heightened when wearing stiff, restrictive shoes.
Morton’s Neuroma is usually easy to treat with a quality insole designed to provide cushioning in the forefoot area while also offering heel cushioning and arch support. The Spenco Polysorb Total Support Insole has been designed to meet all of these needs and helps treat and prevent Morton’s Neuroma. It is recommended that sufferers wear shoes with a roomy toe box. Wearing proper fitting shoes and a quality Insole will give sufferers relief in a short time. While in the most severe of cases a Morton’s Neuroma may require surgery.
