Morton Neuroma treatment in Morelia

Morton's neuroma is a thickening of the tissue that surrounds one of the nerves that run toward the toes, usually between the third and fourth. It is not a tumor, but a nerve irritation that causes discomfort in the front part of the foot.

Common symptoms: A burning sensation or the feeling of walking on a pebble or a fold in the sock, along with tingling or numbness in the nearby toes.

Common causes: It is usually associated with repeated pressure on the forefoot, narrow or high-heeled footwear, and certain impact activities.

Which specialist treats it? Foot evaluation falls to the orthopedist or the podiatrist, and the general practitioner can guide the first visit. If pain when walking limits you, it is advisable to have it checked by one of these professionals to understand its origin.
