Morton's neuroma
This condition can also be caused by an incorrect selection of footwear. Footwear with pointed toes and/or high heels can often lead to a neuroma. Constricting shoes can pinch the nerve between the toes, causing discomfort and extreme pain. Treatment: Mortons Neuroma is a secondary foot problem. As the built in modules in the Pedikom restorative orthotics push the bones, joints, ligaments and muscles back into the correct alignment and re-form the arch under the metatarsal area, the pressure is relieved and the painful nerves are calmed. |

Morton's Neuroma is a foot problem associated with pain, swelling and/or an inflammation of a nerve, usually at the ball-of-the-foot between the 3rd and 4th toes. Symptoms of this condition include sharp pain or cramp, burning or tingling, and even a lack of feeling or numbness in the affected area. 
Morton's Neuroma is caused by fallen cross arches, which lead to the metatarsal bones trapping a nerve usually between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal heads. The symptoms of Morton's Neuroma often occur during or after the patient has been placing significant pressure on the forefoot area, while walking, standing, jumping, or sprinting.
