    Treatment for a Morton’s neuroma depends on how long you have had the condition and its severity. Identifying the condition in its early stages will help to avoid the need for surgery.

    Custom-made orthotics are necessary to provide support for the arches and reduce the pronation stresses on the forefoot. Flexible orthotics which include specific support for the anterior metatarsal arch are particularly important in this condition, since they decrease the shearing stresses on the forefoot. Orthotics also assist in distributing your weight more evenly over the entire foot, relieving the pressure on the ball of the foot.

    Great post, thanks for sharing. Custom-made orthotics are necessary to provide support for the arches and reduce the pronation stresses on the forefoot.

    In order to prescribe custom orthotics a Podiatrist may need to carry out a gait analysis to look at the way that you walk and run.
