Our Experienced Podiatrists Can Help With Your Neuromas in Libertyville, IL

Neuromas Of The Foot

chicago il foot doctor for neuroma treatment

A neuroma, or Morton’s neuroma, is a condition that arises from irritation of a nerve resulting in inflammation of the nerve covering, and the possible formation of scar tissue around the nerve. It is a benign condition that occurs most commonly in the small nerve running between the metatarsal bones in the ball of the foot and into the third and fourth toes. Irritation to the nerve can result from improper shoes (too narrow, high heels), injury, or a mechanical abnormality of the foot. If you are experiencing foot pain, our expert foot doctors can diagnose and treat your neuromas in Libertyville, IL.

Symptoms Of Neuromas

The most common symptom of a neuroma is a pain in the ball of the foot that may also be felt in the toes or even up the foot to the heel or ankle. The pain is commonly described as sharp, burning, or tingling in nature. Oftentimes, patients have difficulty pinpointing the exact location of the pain and may complain of a generalized discomfort in the ball of the foot or the feeling that their sock is bunched up under the foot. Symptoms can be aggravated by activity that bends the foot—walking, running, wearing high-heeled shoes—or by wearing tight shoes. If the neuroma increases in size, you may also experience a “clicking” sensation or “lump” in the ball of your foot.

Treatment for Neuromas

Treatment for neuromas in Libertyville, IL, generally depends on the amount of discomfort or disability you are experiencing. Wearing wider shoes or shoes with shorter heels may be beneficial, especially in the early stages. Ice applied to the bottom of the foot may also be helpful in relieving the pain. When conservative measures fail to relieve the symptoms, a consultation with one of our podiatrists is advised to discuss further options.

At the Weil Foot & Ankle Institute, we have been the first in the world to treat this condition with Extracoporeal Pulse Activation Therapy (EPAT). EPAT is a non-invasive treatment that does not require immobilization or a disabling recovery.
