Factors that increase the likelihood of experiencing neuroma include foot injuries, frequent use of tight shoes or high heels, having flat feet or high arches, and engaging in jogging or running activities.
If at-home treatment for your neuroma proves ineffective, our doctors can provide a range of successful treatment options.
Our Ponchatoula and Franklinton specialists at Southern Podiatry Clinic will asses your neuroma and can offer pain relivers such as anti-inflammatory medication or cortison injections. Alcohol injections can also aid in killing the affected nerve and help give pain relief, which helps prevent the need for surgery in about half of patients.
Our specialists can also offer orthotics, padding, or taping techniques to realign your foot. Lastly, surgery can be performed to release or partially remove the affected nerve if other treatment approaches are unsuccessful.
