At The Heel Centre, we understand the discomfort and disruption Morton’s Neuroma can bring into your life. We specialise in creating personalised treatment plans, blending advanced techniques with compassionate care to effectively target and treat your specific condition.

What is Morton's Neuroma?

Morton’s Neuroma, a nerve condition affecting the foot, often feels like standing on a pebble in your shoe. Common symptoms include burning pain in the ball of the foot, tingling, or numbness between the toes, especially when walking. These signs signal an irritated nerve, typically between the third and fourth toes, and indicate it’s time to seek expert help.

Common Morton's Neuroma Conditions

Morton’s Neuroma presents in various forms, each affecting your foot in unique ways:

  • Between Toes Pain: Most often occurs between the third and fourth toes.
  • Forefoot Discomfort: A sensation of standing on a pebble.
  • Toe Numbness: Tingling or numbness spreading to the toes.
  • Walking Pain: Sharp, burning pain while walking.
  • Shoe Discomfort: Increased pain when wearing tight or narrow shoes.

Causes of Morton's Neuroma

Several factors contribute to the development of Morton’s Neuroma, including:

  • Tight Footwear: Shoes that constrict the toes.
  • High-Heeled Shoes: Pressure increased on the forefoot.
  • High-Impact Sports: Activities stressing the foot.
  • Foot Deformities: Flat feet, bunions, and hammertoes.
  • Repetitive Stress: Occupations or activities that put continuous pressure on the foot.
