Cryosurgery for Morton's Neuroma
Morton's Neuroma is a painful condition caused by the thickening or enlargement of nerve tissue, usually located between the toes. Patients often describe the sensation as walking on a pebble or experiencing burning, tingling, or electric-like pain in the ball of the foot.

What is Cryosurgery for Morton's Neuroma?
Cryosurgery, also known as cryoneuroablation, is a minimally invasive procedure that may help relieve pain associated with Morton's Neuroma. During the procedure, the affected nerve is treated with controlled freezing temperatures to interrupt pain signals without requiring large incisions or extensive surgery.
The neuroma is typically treated with several pulses of cryoablation, with a total freeze time of approximately 9–12 minutes and a procedure time of about 25–30 minutes. Sedation may be used when appropriate, based on your physician's recommendation. Most patients are able to walk shortly after the procedure, although recovery varies depending on the individual.
