Forefoot Pain That Comes and Goes? It Could Be a Neuroma
Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to relieve pain and restore comfortable walking.

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.
