Diagnosing And Treating Morton's Neuroma

Use Of Ice Packs

When it is your first time getting the symptoms, you can try out conservative non-medical remedies. The self-help measures entail the use of ice packs to relieve the pain and pressure on the foot. Note this method is not a long-term solution for Morton's neuroma. Only use it when your pain level is mild. Individuals who have had symptoms for an extended period should seek professional medical help.

You will need to place the ice pack to the affected area for at least fifteen to twenty minutes. For better results, try alternating the ice packs with heat therapy. After putting the ice pack, remove it and replace with a heating pad for fifteen to twenty minutes.
