Neuroma

What Is Neuroma?

A neuroma is an enlarged benign growth of nerves, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. Neuromas are caused by tissue rubbing against and irritating the nerves. Pressure from poorly-fitting shoes or abnormal bone structure can create the condition as well.

Treatments include:

• Special shoes or inserts
• Cortisone injections
• Surgical removal of the growth is sometimes necessary
