What is Morton’s Neuroma?

Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition that affects the ball of your foot, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. It occurs when the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes thickens, causing a sharp, burning pain in the ball of the foot.

Morton’s neuroma affects women more often than men, likely because tight, narrow trainers or high-heeled trainers place excess pressure on the toes. It can also affect runners, as repetitive impact from activities like jogging or tennis may irritate the nerves.

Symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma

The most common symptom is a burning pain in the ball of the foot that may radiate into the toes. Pain is often worse when walking, especially in trainers with a narrow toe box or elevated heel.

Burning Pain
 People with Morton’s neuroma often describe a burning pain between the third and fourth toes — like standing on a pebble or fold in a sock.

Tingling or Numbness
 You may experience numbness or tingling in your toes due to compression of the affected nerve, similar to when your foot “falls asleep.”

Swelling or Fullness
 Some people report a sensation of swelling in the forefoot even when none is visible. This is caused by the thickened tissue around the nerve.

Popping Sensation
 It can feel as though a small bubble or marble is shifting between the toes, often with a soft click — this happens when the irritated nerve moves between the metatarsal bones.

Toe Cramping
 Toes may involuntarily curl or “grip” while walking, as the muscles respond to nerve irritation.

Causes of Morton’s Neuroma

The condition can be triggered by several factors:

Ill-fitting or High-Heeled Trainers
 One of the most common causes is wearing footwear that’s too tight or too high. This puts extra pressure on the toes and forefoot, irritating the nerve over time.

Foot Structure
 Those with flat feet, high arches, or flexible feet are more prone to Morton’s neuroma. These foot types can cause instability, leading to friction and nerve compression.

Repetitive Stress
 Activities such as running, netball, or hiking repeatedly impact the forefoot, increasing the likelihood of nerve irritation.

Treatments for Morton’s Neuroma

Treatment depends on symptom severity — some people find relief with simple lifestyle adjustments.

Change Your Footwear
 Switch to trainers with a wide toe box, low heel, and proper cushioning. Avoid narrow or high-heeled styles. Orthotic insoles can help redistribute pressure away from the affected area.

Rest and Ice
 Taking breaks from activity and applying an ice pack for 10–15 minutes several times a day can help reduce inflammation and pain.

Injections
 Your GP or podiatrist may suggest a steroid injection to reduce swelling and pain. Multiple treatments might be required.

Surgery
 If conservative treatments fail, surgical removal of the affected nerve may be recommended.

Footwear Adjustments
 Choosing lightweight trainers with arch support and cushioned soles can improve comfort and stability. Custom orthotics may also help redistribute weight.

Exercise and Stretching
 Gentle foot and calf stretches can help maintain flexibility and prevent recurrence.

Consult a Podiatrist A podiatrist (foot specialist) can confirm your diagnosis through examination and imaging, then tailor a treatment plan for you.

Exercises for Morton’s Neuroma

Toe Spread and Press
 Sit with feet flat on the floor. Spread your toes apart, then press them gently into the ground for five seconds. Repeat ten times.

Towel Curls
 Sit with your feet on a towel. Curl your toes to scrunch it, then release. Repeat 10–15 times to strengthen the foot muscles.

Calf Stretch
 Facing a wall, step one foot back. Keep your heel down and bend your front knee until you feel a stretch in your back calf. Hold for 15–30 seconds, repeat three times.
