NEUROMAS

WHAT IS A FOOT NEUROMA?

A painful condition, also referred to as a “pinched nerve” or a nerve tumor. It is a benign growth of nerve tissue frequently found between the third and fourth toes.

The principal symptom associated with a neuroma is pain between the toes while walking.

At times, the patient will describe the pain as similar to having a stone in his or her shoe.

The vast majority of people who develop neuromas are women.

Those suffering from the condition often find relief by stopping their walk, taking off their shoe, and rubbing the affected area.

WHAT CAUSES FOOT NEUROMAS?

Although the exact cause for this condition is unclear, a number of factors can contribute to the formation of a neuroma:

  • Biomechanical deformities, such as a high-arched foot or a flat foot, can lead to the formation of a neuroma.

  • Trauma can cause damage to the nerve, resulting in inflammation or swelling of the nerve.

  • Improper footwear that causes the toes to be squeezed together is problematic.

  • Repeated stress, common to many occupations, can create or aggravate a neuroma.
