Lexington Podiatry Ultrasound - Guided Neuroma Injection

Neuromas are caused by the thickening of tissue around the nerves that lead into your toes. It’s the body’s way of trying to protect the nerve from injury. While we don’t fully understand what causes foot neuromas, doctors suspect the culprit is some kind of irritation, injury or unusual pressure on the nerve due to faulty biomechanics. That’s because it’s relatively common among patients who:
Have conditions like flat feet, bunions or hammertoes
Wear the wrong shoes like high heals or too-tight shoes
Play high-impact sports like running
Participate in sports that involve wearing tight shoes, like rock climbing or skiing
Women that are between age 40 - 60
