Morton’s Neuroma Treatment in Mumbai

Specialized Care for Forefoot Pain at Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic

Morton’s Neuroma is a painful nerve condition that commonly affects the ball of the foot, usually between the third and fourth toes. It occurs due to thickening of the tissue around a nerve, leading to sharp pain, burning, or a tingling sensation while walking.

At Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic, we provide accurate diagnosis and advanced, personalized treatment to relieve pain and restore comfortable movement.

What Is Morton’s Neuroma?

Morton’s Neuroma develops when repetitive pressure or irritation causes a nerve in the forefoot to become inflamed and thickened. Though often called a “neuroma,” it is not a tumor but a nerve irritation that worsens over time if untreated.

Common Symptoms

• Sharp or burning pain in the ball of the foot

• Tingling, numbness, or pins-and-needles in the toes

• Feeling like standing on a pebble or fold in the sock

• Pain that worsens with tight shoes or prolonged walking

• Relief when shoes are removed or feet are massaged

Causes of Morton’s Neuroma

• Tight, narrow, or high-heeled footwear

• Repetitive stress from walking, running, or sports

• Flat feet or high arches

• Foot deformities such as bunions or hammertoes

• Abnormal foot biomechanics

Diagnosis

Our foot and ankle specialists diagnose Morton’s Neuroma through:

• Detailed clinical examination

• Gait and foot alignment assessment

• Imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI (if required)

Early diagnosis helps avoid the need for surgery.
