Understanding Morton Syndrome
Morton Syndrome, also known as Morton's neuroma, is a common condition that affects the foot's nerves. It typically occurs in the space between the third and fourth toes, causing discomfort, pain, and a burning sensation. The condition may result from various factors, such as wearing tight-fitting shoes, engaging in high-impact physical activities, or having structural abnormalities in the foot.
Symptoms
Individuals with Morton Syndrome may experience several symptoms, including:
- Sharp pain under the ball of the foot
- Burning or tingling sensation
- Numbness in the affected area
- Feeling like there is a pebble in the shoe
- Pain worsens with walking or wearing narrow shoes
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosing Morton Syndrome involves a thorough examination of the affected area by our experienced podiatrists. They will evaluate the symptoms, review your medical history, and may order additional tests, such as X-rays or MRI scans, to confirm the diagnosis.
Once diagnosed, our dedicated team at The Foot Practice will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs and condition. The primary goal of the treatment is to relieve pain, improve foot function, and enhance overall quality of life. Some common treatment options for Morton Syndrome include:
- Conservative Treatments: Our podiatrists may recommend conservative measures as the first line of treatment, such as:
- Wearing shoes with a wider toe box
- Using orthotic devices to provide arch support
- Modifying activity levels to reduce pressure on the foot
- Administering corticosteroid injections to alleviate pain and inflammation
- Prescribing anti-inflammatory medications
- Physical Therapy: Our skilled physical therapists can guide you through exercises and stretches to alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and strengthen the foot and ankle muscles. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation process and helps in preventing further complications.
- Surgical Intervention: In cases where conservative treatments do not provide sufficient relief, our highly trained podiatric surgeons may recommend surgical options. Surgical procedures aim to remove the neuroma or release pressure on the affected nerves, allowing for pain relief and improved foot function.
