Morton's neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue between the toes, usually the third and fourth. Many patients describe burning, tingling, numbness, or the sensation of standing on a pebble.
What makes it worse
Tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes compress the nerve, and symptoms often ease when you take your shoes off.
How we treat it
Conservative care comes first: footwear changes, orthotics, and injections to calm the nerve. When symptoms persist, minimally invasive cryosurgery uses controlled freezing to interrupt the pain signal, and most patients walk shortly after the in-office procedure.
