Neuromas
Neuromas: Expert Treatment at Foot & Ankle Specialists of Delray
Overview of Neuromas
Neuromas, particularly Morton's neuroma, are a common and painful condition affecting the nerves between the toes, typically the third and fourth toes. This condition leads to thickening of the nerve tissue and can significantly impact foot comfort and function.
Causes and Types
Neuromas often develop due to pressure, irritation, or damage to the nerves in the foot. Contributing factors include wearing high heels or tight shoes, certain foot shapes, or repetitive stress from activities like running. They can range from mild discomfort to severe pain affecting daily life.
Symptoms to Watch For
Symptoms of neuromas include sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot, tingling or numbness in the toes, and the sensation of walking on a pebble. These symptoms can worsen over time or with certain activities.
