Treatment for Nerve-Related Foot Issues
Thorough Assessment
We will thoroughly assess the affected area and ask about your symptoms which typically are burning pain, tingling, and numbness in one or two of the toes.
Personalized Treatment Plan
We will look at all possible alternatives to see if a non-surgical treatment can solve your problem. While this condition can often be treated with cortisone injections, orthotics, or chemical destruction of the nerve, alleviating the pain and discomfort can sometimes require surgery
Surgery and Recovery
If initial, non-invasive therapies fail to address the pain and inflammation, surgery will likely be recommended.
Neuroma surgery involves the removal of the enlarged and inflamed nerve, usually between the metatarsal heads in the ball of the foot.
Neuroma surgery patients can usually walk on the treated foot in a post-surgical shoe for the first two to four weeks after surgery.
