FOOT
NEUROMA
(MORTONS
NEUROMA)
INTRODUCTION
TO NEUROMA
The term neuroma
refers to a swelling of a nerve. The nerve commonly affected is a
small nerve that connects the 3rd and 4th toes,
counting from the big toe. The patient will complain of pain in the
sole of the foot.
SYMPTOMS
OF A NEUROMA
- Begins with
numbness or tenderness in the foot, just behind the 3rd
and 4th toes
- At a later
stage, pain, numbness, burning and tingling sensations can radiate
around the foot.
- The symptoms
may appear and disappear spontaneously.
- Severe pain
may be present at weight bearing.
- The patient
may experience spontaneous shooting pains, which are often referred
to as an "electric shock". This can affect patients when
they are sleeping at night.
CAUSES
OF A NEUROMA
- The pulling
of the ligaments under the foot irritates the nerve.
- High heels
can damage the nerve.
- A tight toe
box will squeeze the toes in the foot and therefore put pressure
on the nerve.
- Mechanical
problems with the feet such as "over pronation". Over pronation
can be simply described as a condition, which causes your arches
to flatten out when you stand up. This causes your ankles to roll
in towards each other and disturbs your normal walking pattern.
If a foot over pronates the structures of the foot are put under
stress, which increases the likelihood of a neuroma occurring.

Customer Review:
"Great product! I have had problems with my neuroma
for ages, and these felt wonderful. No more painful feet when walking.
I'd definitely recommend them to others. My wife even bought silicone
pads and silicone insoles just for comfort when she saw how much I
liked them, and she loves them!!"
