If only it were that simple.
Wider shoes can help reduce pressure on a Mortonâs neuroma, but for many people the burning, tingling, numbness, or feeling of standing on a pebble doesnât magically disappear.
The problem is that a neuroma is often already irritated and sensitive. Simply changing footwear doesnât always address whatâs happening inside the foot.
Thatâs where treatment may be needed.
Shockwave therapy is one option that can help by stimulating healing, improving blood flow, and reducing pain in stubborn cases that havenât settled on their own.
Every case is different, which is why assessment is so important. What works for one person might not work for another.
If youâve been told to âjust change your shoesâ but your symptoms are still stopping you from walking, exercising, or enjoying day-to-day life, there may be more that can be done.
Pain isnât always something you have to put up with.
