Diagnosing And Treating Morton's Neuroma

Orthotics And Arch Supports

Whether they are custom-made or over-the-counter, orthotics and arch supports are medical devices that support the entire foot, as they help to reposition the heel, arch, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the feet, allowing the structures in the foot to work together more effortlessly and making each step pain-free for the individual. Arch supports, foot pads, and orthotics fit gently inside the shoe and help to reduce pressure on the affected nerve. Relating to Morton’s neuroma, orthotics and arch supports are used as a viable treatment as both devices help to prevent the rolling in of the transverse arch of the foot that is located in the ball of the foot, known as the Metatarsal Arch, when the patient is walking. When the bones in the arch roll together, they are responsible for compressing the nerve and subsequent pain associated with Morton’s neuroma, providing the patient with an effortless way to find instant pain relief.
