The Benefits of Foot Care for Morton Syndrome
Morton syndrome, also known as Morton's neuroma, is a common foot condition that can cause discomfort and pain. It typically affects the area between the third and fourth toes and can result in a sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot.
Understanding Morton Syndrome
Individuals experiencing Morton syndrome may feel like they are standing on a pebble or a fold in their sock due to the inflammation of the nerve in that area. The condition can be exacerbated by wearing tight shoes or engaging in high-impact activities.
Common Symptoms
Common symptoms of Morton syndrome include:
- Pain in the ball of the foot
- Numbness or tingling in the toes
- A feeling of a lump or fold in the sock
- Difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected foot
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosing Morton syndrome usually involves a physical examination by a podiatrist and may include imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs. Treatment options for Morton syndrome can vary based on the severity of the condition and may include:
- Orthotic devices to relieve pressure on the affected area
- Cortisone injections to reduce inflammation and pain
- Physical therapy to improve foot mechanics
- Surgery in severe cases
