Morton's Neuroma

Diagnosis, Causes, and Treatment

Morton's neuroma is a condition that occurs when one of the nerves in the foot, usually between the toes, becomes enlarged or swollen. This enlargement can cause pain and a sensation of tingling in the affected area.

Causes of Morton's Neuroma:

  • Tight-fitting Shoes: High heels or continuous friction may contribute to irritating the nerve.
  • Excessive Foot Pressure: Resulting from high sports activities or excessive loading.
  • Abnormal Foot Structure: Some individuals are more prone to Morton's neuroma due to an abnormal foot shape.
