NEUROMA
Expert diagnosis and treatment for burning forefoot pain.
A neuroma, often called Morton’s Neuroma, is a common cause of forefoot pain. It typically develops when a nerve in the foot becomes irritated and thickened, leading to discomfort that is often triggered by walking or wearing shoes. Many people describe it as a burning pain, sharp ache, or the feeling of a small lump in the forefoot.
What is a Neuroma?
A neuroma is an enlargement of a nerve in the foot caused by repeated irritation and inflammation.
Why does it develop?
Neuromas may be linked to one or more of the following factors:
- Foot biomechanics and function

- Bunions or developing bunions
- Hammer toes or toe deformities
- Tight or restrictive footwear
