Neuroma Pain




 Neuroma

  • Mortons Neuroms or Intermetatarsal Neuroma is a common deformity of the foot which results from abnormal pressure on the ball of the foot especially between the 3rd and 4th bases of the toes in the ball of the foot.
    • Mapping these abnormal forces is important in the diagnosis and treatment.   Click Here
    • It is ultimately critical to offload these forces on these sensory nerves through the use of custom foot orthotics.  
  • Many times the leg muscles are tight (hamstrings and calf muscles).  When these muscles are tight, abnormal force is displaces through the bottom of the ball of your feet, (metatarsals).    Long standing repetitive forces cause swelling, bleeding and scaring of these sensory nerves.






Hamstring Stretching best done in shower with arm water on muscles

Morton's Neuroma:

Morton's neuroma is a benign thickening of the tissue around a nerve in the ball of your foot, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. It can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected toes. Morton's neuroma is more common in women than in men, and it is often associated with wearing high-heeled or narrow shoes.

Metatarsalgia:

Metatarsalgia is a general term for pain in the ball of the foot. It can be caused by a number of things, including;

    • Morton's neuroma,
    • Stress fractures,
    • Sesamoiditis.
    • Metatarsalgia i

    These often treated with conservative measures such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation. However, surgery may be necessary in some cases.

    Neuralgia:

    Neuralgia is a type of pain that is caused by damage or irritation to a nerve. It can be characterized by sharp, shooting, or burning pain. Neuralgia can occur in any part of the body, but it is most common in the face, back, and hands. There are a number of different causes of neuralgia, including trauma, infection, and tumors. Treatment for neuralgia depends on the underlying cause.

    Plantar Neuroma:

    A plantar neuroma is a type of neuroma that occurs in the sole of the foot. It is most commonly found between the third and fourth toes. Plantar neuromas can cause

    • Pain
    • Numbness,
    • Tingling
    in the affected toes. Plantar neuromas are often treated with conservative measures such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation. However, surgery may be necessary in some cases.

    Intermetatarsal Neuroma:

    An intermetatarsal neuroma is a type of neuroma that occurs between the metatarsal bones in the foot. It is most commonly found between the third and fourth toes. Intermetatarsal neuromas can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected toes. Intermetatarsal neuromas are often treated with conservative measures such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation. However, surgery may be necessary in some cases.

    Nerve entrapment:

    Nerve entrapment is a condition in which a nerve is compressed or trapped. This can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the area supplied by the nerve. Nerve entrapment can occur anywhere in the body, but it is most common in the hands, wrists, elbows, and feet. There are a number of different causes of nerve entrapment, including trauma, repetitive movements, and swelling. Treatment for nerve entrapment depends on the underlying cause.

    Morton's disease is another name for Morton's neuroma.

    Morton's neuropathy:

    Morton's neuropathy is another name for Morton's neuroma.

    Intermetatarsal space neuroma:

    An intermetatarsal space neuroma is another name for Morton's neuroma.

    Interdigital neuroma:

    An interdigital neuroma is another name for Morton's neuroma.

    Plantar Fasciaiitis

    Plantar Fascia (Arch Pain) can be avoided by using medical grade custom Orthotics, good footwear and walking on Variable Terrain.

    • The human foot is designed by our creator to walk, stand, run, stand on variable surfaces.
      • Man-made surfaces (tile. asphalt, concrete) are flat and hard and create high reactive forces (trauma) to the joints of the foot and the plantar fascia structures creating pain when standing or walking.
    • Using shoes that improve shock loading of the foot against the floor, (spira shoes) will reduce load trauma.   
    • Adding a medical grade custom foot orthotics to your Spira footwear will greatly improve foot function and remove pain and restore normal function of the foot when standing and walking.    

    Dr Craig Lowe recommends that you treat the cause of foot pain with a mechanical solution since it is a mechanical problem.   Start treating the cause and watch the pain go away.

    Dr Scholls Kiosk V 3DO Imaging

     Dr Scholls retail kiosk was designed 

    • To provide information so you can pick a prefabricated insole from off the shelf. 
      
    • Prefab insoles are not as good as wholesale medical grade custom orthotics $99 

    There is a better way ....  footcomfort.directorthotics.com 

    • The foot is a 3D object which works differently in a non-movement state (static) versus a movement state (dynamic).  
     
    • 3DO Imagers are 3D and analyze static and dynamic foot function.   The precise data is best suited for the manufacturing of medical grade orthotics which are corrective. 

    • In addition technology footwear can add additional benefits to comfort due to special features in shoe construction.
