Neuroma Excision in Mumbai

Definitive Surgical Relief for Persistent Foot Nerve Pain at Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic

Neuroma excision is a surgical procedure performed to permanently relieve pain caused by a symptomatic foot neuroma—most commonly Morton’s neuroma—when non-surgical treatments fail. The surgery involves removing or decompressing the affected nerve segment to eliminate ongoing irritation and pain.
At Mumbai Foot Ankle Clinic, neuroma excision is performed with precision and care to restore comfort and help patients return to normal walking.

What Is Neuroma Excision?

Neuroma excision is indicated when the nerve between the toes becomes chronically thickened and painful, causing burning pain, numbness, or a “pebble-in-the-shoe” sensation. When conservative treatments no longer provide relief, surgical excision offers a long-term solution.

When Is Neuroma Excision Recommended?

You may be advised neuroma excision if you have:

• Persistent forefoot or toe pain despite treatment

• Failure of footwear changes, orthotics, or injections

• Burning, tingling, or numbness in the toes

• Pain that limits walking or daily activities

• Confirmed neuroma on imaging studies

Surgery is recommended only after careful evaluation.

Conditions Treated with Neuroma Excision

• Morton’s neuroma (most common)

• Chronic interdigital nerve pain

• Recurrent neuroma symptoms not responding to conservative care

Diagnosis Before Surgery

Our specialists ensure accurate diagnosis through:

• Detailed clinical examination

• Foot posture and gait assessment

• Ultrasound or MRI to confirm neuroma size and location

• Review of previous treatments and response

This helps determine whether excision is the most effective option.

Neuroma Excision Procedure

• Performed under anesthesia

• Small incision made in the foot

• Affected nerve segment is carefully removed or decompressed

The goal is complete pain relief with minimal disruption to foot function.
