Neuromas

A neuroma is a benign growth that occurs when the nerves in the foot are pinched and inflamed. It is most commonly found between the third and fourth toes. Symptoms include pain, burning, tingling or numbness between the toes and in the ball of the foot.

What causes a neuroma ?

Neuromas can be caused by anything that creates compression or irritation of the nerve. Abnormal bone structure, foot injury or tight shoes can cause a neuroma. Women who wear high heels are especially susceptible.
