How are Neurma's Treated?

The last post discussed Morton's neuromas. The neuroma is usually diagnosed by a clinical exam with your podiatrist. Conventional x-rays or MRIs may be used to further diagnose the condition or rule out something else. After the diagnosis is made, treatments typically start with conservative measures: injections, padding, and orthotic devices. Many patients get significant relief with these modalities. However, in some cases, the neuroma must be surgically excised. If you have a neuroma or other foot condition, call Dr. Bender for an appointment. She will help you feel better FAST! Dr. Bender has had three surgeries on her own feet, including removal of a neuroma, so she knows first hand about foot pain! 708-763-0580, Oak Park.
