Uncovering the Causes
Morton’s Neuroma is often caused by the following factors:
- Wearing tight or high-heeled shoes that squeeze the toes together
- Repeated stress on the foot due to activities that put pressure on the toes, such as running or jumping
- Foot deformities, such as bunions or flat feet, that can increase the risk of nerve compression
Seeking Proper Diagnosis
Diagnosing Morton’s Neuroma typically involves a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and imaging tests. At Rebound Integrative Health & Sports Clinics, our healthcare professionals will assess your symptoms, conduct a thorough examination of your foot, and may recommend imaging tests such as X-rays or MRI scans to confirm the presence of Morton’s Neuroma.
Taking Preventive Measures
To reduce the risk or severity of Morton’s Neuroma, consider the following preventive measures:
- Wear shoes with a wide toe box and adequate arch support to minimize pressure on the toes
- Opt for low-heeled shoes or alternate shoe styles to avoid constant pressure on the foot
- Use cushioned insoles or pads to provide extra support and relieve pressure on the affected area
