Diagnosing And Treating Morton's Neuroma

Magnetic Resonance Imaging And Ultrasound Testing

The two most common tests in diagnosing Morton's neuroma include magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) and ultrasound testing. Your doctor is likely to recommend one to you during your visits. The conventional radiographs are likely not to provide accurate results or detect the condition accurately. You will require an x-ray examination, which uses sound waves in creating images of your foot.

MRIs and ultrasounds as testing are the most preferred because it provides accurate outcomes. The ultrasound method can help the physician distinguish Morton's neuroma from the others that may mimic the symptoms. The other likely complications are capsulitis, stress fractures, and plantar plate disruption. An MRI is another technique that provides an accurate diagnosis. The doctor will possibly see the neurovascular bundle region in the toe and determine the diagnosis.
