Neuromas are benign growths of nerve tissue that often develop in response to injury, irritation, or trauma to a nerve. Typically found in the peripheral nervous system, particularly in the feet, neuromas can cause pain, tingling, or numbness in the affected area. The most common type, Morton's neuroma, occurs between the third and fourth toes and is often characterized by a sensation of walking on a pebble or having a fold in the sock. While neuromas are not usually life-threatening, they can significantly impact quality of life by causing discomfort and limiting mobility. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of symptoms and may include conservative measures such as orthotic devices, physical therapy, or corticosteroid injections, while more severe cases may require surgical intervention to remove the neuroma and relieve pressure on the affected nerve. Early detection and proper management are essential in minimizing the impact of neuromas on daily activities and overall well-being.
Our Approach to Treating Neuromas
Non-surgical care for neuromas:
Discover effective nonsurgical treatments for neuromas, benign nerve tumors often causing discomfort akin to a pebble in your shoe, primarily located in the ball of the foot and between toes. Equinox Foot and Ankle employs various techniques to alleviate symptoms, including:
Custom molded orthotics help provide proper foot structure, thus preventing metatarsals from compressing the nerves causing the neuroma.
Targeted taping and padding methods are tailored to relieve pressure on the neuroma, enabling you to avoid excess pain or discomfort.
Cortisone injections serve as anti-inflammatory agents, reducing swelling and facilitating healing.
Oral medications provide further relief by combating inflammation.
These comprehensive approaches aim to mitigate symptoms and potentially obviate the necessity for surgical intervention.
How can I select the most suitable nonsurgical care for neuromas?
Nonsurgical treatments for neuromas can be tailored to your specific needs, either utilized individually or in combination, depending on the severity of your condition. To ensure optimal treatment selection and accurately diagnose the underlying cause of your symptoms, Equinox Foot and Ankle invites you to schedule a diagnostic consultation at our office.
During this consultation, your provider will conduct a thorough examination, including applying pressure to various areas of your foot to identify tender spots indicative of a neuroma. Additionally, advanced imaging tests such as X-rays or ultrasounds may be employed to precisely locate the neuroma and assess its severity.
By analyzing the results of these diagnostic tests, your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to address your neuroma effectively.
What is the typical timeframe for experiencing relief with nonsurgical care for neuromas?
Nonsurgical treatment offers the opportunity for your neuroma to heal by alleviating pressure on the tumor and mitigating your symptoms. However, the effectiveness and speed of relief can vary from person to person, making it challenging to provide a precise timeline.
At Equinox Foot and Ankle, your provider closely monitors your progress throughout the treatment process to ensure optimal results from your nonsurgical care plan. By tracking your response to treatment, adjustments can be made as necessary to enhance your comfort and facilitate healing.
