Treatment Options for Morton’s Neuroma

Footwear Advice

Shoes with a wider toe box reduce pressure on the nerve.

Metatarsal Pads

Pads help spread the metatarsal heads and reduce nerve compression.

Prescription Foot Orthotics

Custom orthotics stabilize abnormal forefoot alignment and reduce irritation.

Osteopathic Foot Manipulations

Manual therapy can reduce joint stiffness and improve forefoot mechanics.

Corticosteroid Injections

Used when conservative care does not provide enough relief.

Surgery

Considered only when all conservative measures fail.
