Overview
Non-surgical treatment is instituted first for the treatment of morton's neuroma. Firstly, the conservative measures are used for the pain relief such as decreasing the pressure on metatarsal heads by using metatarsal support, bars, padded shoe insert just proximal to the metatarsal head, tapping the toe area, orthotics, specialized orthopedic shoes, shoes with wider toe boxes allowing spread of metatarsal heads, determining proper shoe width, physical therapy, ice massage, strength exercises for intrinsic foot muscles and resting. When conservative measures fail, medical therapy is used which includes tricyclic antidepressants, anticonvulsants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, ultrasound-guided interdigital injection of nerve blocking agents such as steroids or local anaesthetics via dorsal approach into the site of tenderness, oral or injectable anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.
