Overview

Non-surgical treatment is instituted first for the treatment of morton's neuroma. Firstly, the conservative measures are used for the pain relief such as decreasing the pressure on metatarsal heads by using metatarsal support, bars, padded shoe insert just proximal to the metatarsal head, tapping the toe area, orthotics, specialized orthopedic shoes, shoes with wider toe boxes allowing spread of metatarsal heads, low heels, good arch support & stiff soles, determining propershoewidth, physical therapy, massaging ball of the foot, strength exercises for intrinsic foot muscles, stretching exercises for foot tendons & ligaments, resting the foot, applying ice packs to the sore foot areas and weight loss in overweight patients. When conservative measures fail, medical therapy is used which includes tricyclic antidepressants, anticonvulsants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, prolotherapy via Hackett-Hemwall technique which includes ultrasound-guidedinterdigital injection of nerve blocking agents such as steroids, local anaesthetics, dextrose, anti-inflammatory drugs or 4% alcohol sclerosing injections via dorsal approach into the site of tenderness, oral or injectable anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.

Medical Therapy

Medical therapy for Morton's neuroma
Type of medical therapy Components
Conservative medical therapy
Decreasing pressure & compression on the metatarsal heads and nerve
Applying ice packs to the sore foot areas helps in reducing the swelling
Physical therapy
Massaging ball of the foot
Strength exercises for intrinsic foot muscles
Stretching exercises in order to loosen the ligaments and tendons of the foot
Resting the foot
Weight loss in overweight patients may also help
Non-conservative medical therapy
Tricyclic antidepressants
Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
Anticonvulsants
Prolotherapy (proliferative therapy) via Hackett-Hemwall technique which includes ultrasound-guided interdigital injection of nerve blocking agents (mentioned in next column) via dorsal approach into the site of tenderness helps in temporary pain relief:[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]

Anti-inflammatory drugs (orally or injected into the toe area) Shouldn't be used for long-term treatment
Painkillers
