If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, cryosurgery for Morton’s Neuroma may be the right solution for you.
Sharp, burning, or tingling sensations in the ball of the foot or toes.
Sudden shooting or electric-like pain while walking or standing.
The sensation that there is a pebble, fold in the sock, or lump underneath the foot.
Cryosurgery, also known as cryoneuroablation, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat painful nerve tissue associated with Morton’s Neuroma. During the procedure, the affected nerve is treated with controlled freezing temperatures to stop pain signals without requiring large incisions or extensive surgery.
The neuroma is treated with several pulses of cryoablation, with a total freeze time of approximately 9–12 minutes and a total procedure time of about 25–30 minutes. Sedation anesthesia is optional, and patients are typically able to walk immediately after treatment.
Compared to traditional surgery, cryosurgery offers patients a minimally invasive alternative with faster recovery and less downtime.
Most patients are able to walk immediately following the procedure.
Patients often return to normal activities within 5–7 days.
No large incisions are required, minimizing tissue damage and scarring.
Cryoneuroablation may reduce the risk of complications such as stump neuroma associated with surgical excision.
Most patients experience significant pain relief within 3–5 days after treatment, with improved comfort while walking and standing. The goal of cryosurgery is to eliminate nerve pain and help patients return to normal daily activities quickly and comfortably.
If you’re suffering from foot pain caused by Morton’s Neuroma or another foot and ankle condition, our New York podiatrists are here to help.
With four convenient NYC locations — Wall Street, Times Square, Grand Central, and Upper East Side — we provide advanced minimally invasive treatment options designed to help you return to healthy, active living.
Sometimes scar tissue builds up in a tendon and causes the tendon to lose its elasticity. At that point, chronic Achilles tendinitis can be treated by removing the scar tissue using a minimally invasive procedure like Tenex. This uses a wand that transmits ultrasonic energy to break through the scar tissue leaving healthy tissue behind. Downtime is minimal and return to normal activity is about a week.
Grab a resistance band (or even a stretchy t-shirt)! Place the band or shirt around the ball of your foot. Pull the two ends of the band or shirt towards you until you feel a nice stretch in the back of your leg. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds, and relax for 10 seconds. Repeat this 5-10 times for both legs!
Achilles tendonitis rarely requires surgery. However, if treatment is delayed or neglected, there could be further damage such as a tendon tear. This would require surgical repair, and although we can do this with minimally invasive techniques, it is better to prevent damage when possible. Don’t ignore your pain. See your podiatrist as soon as possible.
