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, massaging ball of the foot, strength exercises for intrinsic foot muscles, stretching exercises for foot tendons & ligaments, resting the foot, applying ice packs to the sore foot areas and weight loss in overweight patients. 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, local anaesthetics, anti-inflammatory drugs or alcohol sclerosing injections via dorsal approach into the site of tenderness, oral or injectable anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.
Medical Therapy
- Treatment of morton's neuroma depends on several factors such as:
- The earlier the condition is diagnosed, the less likely is the patient to need surgery
- Non-surgical treatment is instituted first for the treatment of morton's neuroma
