What Is Morton's
Neuroma?

Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition affecting the ball of the foot, most commonly the area between the third and fourth toes. It involves a thickening of tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes, causing sharp, burning pain, tingling, and numbness. The condition typically develops in response to irritation, pressure, or injury to the nerve. People often describe the sensation as standing on a pebble in their shoe or having a fold in their sock. While not a tumor, this benign nerve growth can significantly impact mobility and comfort during everyday activities.

Initial Consultation

Preparation for neuroma treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Oganesyan conducts a thorough physical examination to assess the severity of symptoms and identify any contributing foot deformities. During this evaluation, he carefully palpates (touches) the affected area to locate painful spots and trigger points that can help confirm the diagnosis. Imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI may be ordered to visualize the neuroma and rule out other potential foot conditions.
Based on these diagnostic findings, Dr. Oganesyan develops individualized treatment plans, considering factors like symptom duration, previous interventions, and lifestyle needs. Before proceeding with any intervention, patients typically require education about their condition, expected outcomes, and appropriate footwear modifications to optimize treatment success.

Our Treatment Options for Neuroma Pain

Conservative Treatments

Initial management of Morton’s neuroma often involves conservative approaches to reduce inflammation and pressure on the thickened tissue that causes nerve compression. These methods typically include rest periods, ice application, and appropriate pain medication to address discomfort while the nerve heals. Dr. Oganesyan may recommend targeted stretching exercises to help maintain foot flexibility and reduce tension on the affected nerve pathway.

Footwear Modifications

Changing footwear is a crucial step in managing neuroma pain. Patients benefit from shoes with wide toe boxes that prevent compression of the forefoot and low heels that reduce pressure on the ball of the foot. Avoiding tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes helps minimize nerve irritation and allows more natural foot positioning during walking and standing activities.

Custom Orthotics

Specially designed orthotic devices (shoe insoles) can significantly reduce neuroma symptoms by correcting biomechanical issues contributing to nerve compression. These custom-made inserts provide additional support to separate the bones and reduce pressure on the affected nerve. Orthotics create a more balanced foot position, redistributing weight evenly across the foot during movement.

MLS Laser Therapy

This advanced non-invasive treatment utilizes specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing in the affected tissue. The controlled laser energy stimulates cellular metabolism and improves blood circulation to the damaged area. Most patients experience progressive relief following a series of quick, comfortable treatment sessions without downtime.

Sclerotherapy

This minimally invasive injection therapy involves administering a sclerosing solution directly into the affected area to reduce the neuroma’s size. The solution causes controlled irritation that ultimately leads to hardening and shrinking of the nerve growth. Patients typically undergo a series of carefully placed injections over several weeks, often experiencing gradual improvement after each session.

Soundwave Therapy

This treatment employs focused pressure waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain signals in the affected area. The soundwaves trigger metabolic responses that enhance blood flow and cellular regeneration around the damaged nerve. The non-invasive nature of this approach makes it attractive for patients seeking relief without medication or surgical intervention.

Neuroma Surgery

When conservative measures prove insufficient, surgical intervention may be necessary to address persistent neuroma pain. Procedures range from decompression surgery that releases tight structures around the nerve to complete removal of the affected nerve tissue. Surgical approaches are tailored to the individual’s specific condition and typically reserved for cases where other treatments have failed to provide adequate relief.

Candidates for Neuroma Treatment

Individuals experiencing persistent discomfort in the ball of the foot or between the toes may be suitable for neuroma treatment. Our evaluation helps determine who can benefit most based on underlying causes and lifestyle factors. Candidates typically include:

Those who regularly wear poorly fitting shoes
Individuals with a history of repetitive trauma to the forefoot
People with structural foot issues, such as flat feet
Athletes or runners exposed to constant pressure on the metatarsal region
Those experiencing numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in the toes
Patients who have not responded to conservative care, such as rest or shoe modifications

Benefits of Neuroma Treatment

Pain Relief

Neuroma treatment helps alleviate the persistent burning, tingling, or sharp pain associated with nerve compression in the forefoot. By targeting the source of the discomfort — whether through orthotics, injections, or surgical options — our treatments allow the surrounding healthy tissue to recover and function without constant irritation.

Improved Mobility

As pain decreases, daily movement becomes easier and more comfortable. Treatment often restores the ability to walk, exercise, or stand for extended periods without discomfort, supporting a more active and independent lifestyle.

Prevention of Worsening Symptoms

Addressing neuroma symptoms promptly can stop the condition from progressing. Early treatment reduces the risk of chronic nerve damage and helps preserve long-term foot function before structural issues become more difficult to manage.

Cost of Neuroma Treatment in Miami

The cost of neuroma treatment in Miami ranges from $150 to $1,500+, depending on the type and complexity of care required. Non-surgical options like orthotics and corticosteroid injections are typically on the lower end. Advanced procedures, such as sclerosing therapy or surgical intervention, are usually more expensive. Factors like diagnostic imaging, follow-up visits, and whether patients have poorly fitting shoes or structural issues can also influence the treatment plan and cost.
