I was just diagnosed with this condition by a podiatrist, after months of excruciating pain. I have viewed several videos and yours is by far the best. I will be implementing your suggestions, especially the taping, metatarsal dome, and stretches. Thanks!
Yet another injury I'm learning from. Developed this from doing thousands of split squats to rehab my knees. If I live to be a thousand maybe I'll have a solid training regimen together. Getting old sucks. Appreciate the information.
My pain began from my job, standing for hours on concrete floors. I had no clue what was wrong and went through shoes, inserts orthotics and many other things before I found anything that worked. That padding was what helped me, but getting them in the right spot was a problem. I also have to put extra insoles in my shoes, but that causes the shoe to be too tight. It is hard to get the right balance.
Thankyou so much. Taping down the middle toe has very quickly given me relief for the Mortons Neuroma that I have had for over a month and has given me so much agony. Great stuff. Much appreciated 👍
I've had this going on for aboutba year but it came and went. Now? It's full on painful. The taping was such a relief. It's good to know this is manageable because...man...when this hurts...it HURTS!
This has been so informative. Thank you very much. Mine has flared up and is limiting my movement😢. I've been trying metatarsal pads but they don't have a dome. I will check those out as well. Also, will try the massage. None ever demonstrated any of this to me. Only shots which were awful and did not help enough to warrant the pain of the shot.
Great tips! I have a neuroma in each foot and I have seen every specialist I can think of but no one has explained it as well at this video. I will get out my foam roller tomorrow!
I use toe socks and Crocs. Also, the gel, silicone toe spreaders, seperators work well. During the Winter, I cut the toe ends off of old, big, loose fluffy socks and wear them at night. Avoid any and all things which squeeze or press your toes together. I have extremely wide feet, like a Hobbit I guess.
I can tell you that having 4-5 years combat with meta tarsal pain and searching ways to cure it I finally found the way. It’s not pads or toe binding, it’s not just soft bottom shoes, it’s not training or massage, it’s the toe box space Enough for your foot !!! For me it’s Hoka M Clifton 9 Wide (+ personally heat shaped insole you can get from sport stores). There are also Joe Nimble wide sneakers I bought, which are great too. Forget about the rest. Btw when at home I use Crocs to avoid the hard floor against the ball of foot, especially as long as you have the pain. Crocs are wide and soft. In my country we generally don’t use shoes inside, only socks.
Thanks for making this video. The pain from this condition is excruciating for me and hope that at least one of your strategies can give me some relief. I have already started stretching my shoes and thrown out a few pairs of socks. Next I'm going to try a shoe insert with arch support. I used to walk 10km a day and hope to get back to that. I am 80 years old next birthday.
I had mine treated with a laser that made a loud POP like a gun. The doctor wore a welders shield to protect his eyes. That was 28 years ago and it never came back.
@@mkay9445 This was back in the 1990's in Minneapolis MN. I can't remember the physician's name. But I sure remember that laser. Made a loud POP like a gun.
Thank you so much for this video. I have just been diagnosed with MN and this is the most informative video. I am finding it really hard to find information out there that doesn’t involve medications or surgery. I will be trying all these suggestions out, and modifying my domes to get better use out of them
I've always used the resting squat position you specified because I've been told it's the most efficient rest position without sitting. I train martial arts and try to focus on cardio & stamina so instead of sitting I've always used this a rest position between rounds when training. Guess I'll have to make an adjustment there.
The PA who recommended toe bars/domes for my Morton's neuroma recommended that I put them in BOTH shoes to keep the gait matched - you might develop imbalance issues if you only use one.
Excellent video which is very well explained. I have been managing my Morton's for about 5 years by wearing Fitflops but stupidly decided it would be a good idea to exercise barefoot, so am suffering at the moment.
Good guidance, thank you for the three arches. I am a shoemaker and have read and seen some videoes on the Morton`s neuroma to make tha last better fit my client. In summary I have made the toebox wide enough to let the toes spread out and I will help my client to place some type of "pillow" to raise the needed arch, when the shoe is all made. Thank you again I will make a list of good wideoes to wach. A wery good tip to take with you all is Danish duckfeet. (I DO NOT ACT AS A SELLER), They are one of the last brands and factories left in the world to make true footform shoes and boots with a wide last. And they are made in Denmark. Thank you once more.

For years I have complained to my Internal Med Doc about tingling and numbness in toes. I love to hike and recently hiked the Camino and up popped the foot pain. Went to Foot Doc and confirmed the Morton's Neuroma. THANK YOU for the information & tips, very well done, wishing all happy and better trails in the future. If surgery is warranted, what is the degree of success? I would love to hear from a non-surgery provider. Thank you.
Same with me, went to a podiatrist, she diagnosed with Morton’s neuroma. Suggested getting injections 🙄 I have only had this for couple of weeks so I am keen to explore options that does not involve injections or surgery. Hope you are feeling better!
@@ThePhysioChannel leg feels better now. Going to work again on hard floors in 20 minutes.. There is stiffness in calfs, alot in the injury side leg. Ankle had around 15 degree less mobility. Slowly healing. Also bought 2 sizes bigger shoes today
I have suffered for years. Thank you. Going to try the tapeDoI know now where the problem is steming from. I've been a runner my whole life. My cafes are over developed. That furm rooler is painful Wow..
When you tape it down, it seems like that would cancel out the transverse arch that the insert was trying to make. Why is that not the case? Thank you for the very informative video, I have this issue in both feet and I can see I was doing a couple of things wrong now. @@ThePhysioChannel
I've suffered with Morton's Neuroma for over a decade on and off, As you say I've found certain shoes and socks and foot position increases the likelihood of attacks, I also have to avoid any position that could result in any squeezing of the foot, kneeling can be problematic because of this. I have a question, is it usual for the Toes to deform when suffering from Neuroma pain, my toes are usually straight and sit tight together, but during an attack, both my third and fourth Toes bow way from each other to leave a substantial gap of about 3/8th of an inch between them
I have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis with symptoms of a sore heel etc but also suffering with pain in my foot exactly has you described . Is this a common occurrence . I have been doing self physio but may need to see a specialist and would mind your advice . Thanks
Muchas gracias por el video, me aclaró lo que yo pensaba sobre el neuroma de Morton, no todos son iguales, de modo que hacerlo uno mismo es la mejor solución y en forma casera, en la misma plantilla del zapato.
Late at night watching this…and foot/ankle aching. A chirp has been massaging the neuroma on left foot…and my foot is adapting. I am deliberately stretching my toes, etc. I will watch this video more in morning. Thks….and the comments re encouraging. I subscribed. Ahna
Hello Daniel, firstly l would like to say your videos are wonderful about the Mortons Neuroma. I was told by a NHS physio to ignore the numbness but thankfully l have found a good private physio who is very good. My question is regarding the Rock tape nethod do l use that and a dome insole as well or to use separately?
so I have this exact pain but in my second toe from my big toe, not the toes you mentioned... so I have something else? it's seriously almost more painful than a kidney stone like... wow.
Thank you so much for detailed explanations, I found them very helpful! Wish you good success! My recent increase in sprinting and tight shoes caused some of this pain, but seems it was there even before that. I don’t know if carbon plates might also be to blame, but I’m certainly gonna take it slow with super shoes! What benefit is to have all these awesome shoes and not have your foot properly functioning? Phew. Time to revisit all my training!
mabe tight shortened calf muscles could be the cause of a neuroma? thanks for the video circulation in the ankle and toes is minimal . how to increase?
They deff don’t help. I have this and a neuroma. I have to wear a brace every night to stretch my muscles. Had a neuroma for 3 years and it suuucckks lol. I don’t want the surgery, no waaaay!
Funny thing is, I went on vacation at the beach and walked around for 7 days in foam sole flat flip flops and had 0% pain the whole time. I have a mortons nueroma in my right foot and planter fasciaitis in both feet and I work 12 hour shifts in steel toes standing in one spot. The mortons nueroma has caused 3 of my toes to be completely numb but the silver lining is that the stabbing pain lets me know my toes are still there!
I have done all those things for a decade and had a series of 7 shots which make the nerve dormant for 10 years. Now it has come back with a vengeance. I have never worn bad shoes because I could not tolerate them since I was young so I have always worn tennis shoes. Now it has gotten do bad that they are going to try to freeze it if that does not work then I will have to have surgery.
Same but my ankle didn’t break just very damaged I’m not even sure I have this it comes and goes today it’s back again I have clicking too in my foot at bottom
I have a bursitis 2/3 toe, no pain but feels like I have extra padding under my foot and toes feel numbing or like one toe is treading on the fleshy part if the other. I tried several areas for padding and didn't work. However I notice when I weight bear the second joints collapse backward, like being double jointed. Your toes have a nice downward arch mine kink back on weight bearing. So I rolled up a bandage stuffed it in my sock and put it under my toes like a cigar running along under all small toes supporting the joints... bingo, it worked :)
Hahahaha why am I seeing this now! When I had my son 25 years ago, the tendons I guess in my feet loosened, like they do in your hips and joints, so my feet grew about half a size and going to do groceries I crammed my foot in a high heeled winter boot and felt such agony walking around. I was off work so I hobbled around home with my 5 month old and figured it would get better. After a year I went back to work, I was standing on one leg all day it was worse. Mine is one toe over towards the big toe. I finally saw a specialist and she said Morton's neuroma but mine was like a butcher knife being driven into my foot and 5 inch heels were fine or barefoot but any other shoe like running shoes which I wore for work was agony. I ended up with a custom made insert and that made a night and day difference. She said surgery was an option but she didn't recommend surgery because she said people often trip and fall after because they loose most of the feeling in their foot and its dangerous for stairs. I wondered if she invented the term because I would get blank looks from even nurses and doctors 😂 Back then no one even knew what it was. In the summer I lived in flip flops because they didn't squeeze my feet. I still have my insert in my shoe.
I’ve just started experiencing this pain but more so between my 4th & 5th matarsals. I had to have a subtalar fusion 4 years ago which in turn has limited my Dorsi & plantar flexion. Is that why I’m getting this pain?
Can the pain also manifest on the bottom of the foot at the base of the "ring toe" when walking? I get a sharp pain there occasionally and seemingly pretty randomly. I always assumed it was some kind of bone bruise or something since it only pops up here and there and seems to go away within an hour or so most times. Wondering if this might be what's causing it?
Yes it can. That’s where my pain is. It’s not a “Morton’s neuroma” but it’s a neuroma. I think it has to do with which toe it is between - but anyway, the maintenance is the same. There’s no cure but you can use these tricks to try and manage. What helps me is wide shoes, and a half insole with metatarsal pad. Also a pea size amount of Penetrex cream a night and during the day, depending. Stretches help a lot with circulation. Good luck!
I have this i think but it also goes behnd my kneee and makes it hard to stand is that part of it or something else? And its worse when i get in shower
My pain sounds similar to this but only happens when I first get out of bed in the morning, no problem the rest of the day. Doesn’t really hurt when I tried the squeeze test, is there anything else it might be?
Well doc im 25 (6'1" & 100kg) i 1st got this pain in 23 after daily running for 9 days 5km..10th day pain was not so much but next day i couldn't run after that i couldn't even walk it remain same for 2 days & after that it slowly disappear.. now it frequently get repeated after 3-4 months i don't even go for run & It follow same pattern of pain days & intensity of pain pattern... I do WFH on laptop usually on couch or bed for 9 hours a day.. what should i do
My foot has been good for a couple of days yesterday I walked out with my trainers on and today my neuroma if it is that is back again 😢I’m guessing it was the tight trainers I wore that has inflamed it with thick socks 😢
I have neuroma, I bought shoes with a wide toe, soft sole, and an insole ( On Cloudstratus 3 ) Now I can walk for kilometers without feeling pain, with other narrow toe shoes this is no longer possible.
@@ThePhysioChannel willingly, I tried the skechers but they were narrow on the top, then it depends on the shape of the foot, but valid as shoes at a lower price than the on cloud, or the brooks very good, but with horrible colours... I can't express more, but a piece of advice, don't save money, the health of your feet is the health of our entire skeleton.

Morton’s neuroma doesn’t go away… you can try to manage it or you can get it surgically removed, which is a whole other issue.
Unfortunately no. I've been dealing with it for years.
How? @@REXpeditions

I ended up with a custom made insert and that made a night and day difference. She said surgery was an option but she didn't recommend surgery because she said people often trip and fall after because they loose most of the feeling in their foot and its dangerous for stairs.
I wondered if she invented the term because I would get blank looks from even nurses and doctors 😂
Back then no one even knew what it was. In the summer I lived in flip flops because they didn't squeeze my feet.
I still have my insert in my shoe.
So what exactly does this kinesiotape do in this example? What’s the rationale
I’ve just started experiencing this pain but more so between my 4th & 5th matarsals. I had to have a subtalar fusion 4 years ago which in turn has limited my Dorsi & plantar flexion. Is that why I’m getting this pain?
Where do you buy tape?
I use Rocktape in this video
Can the pain also manifest on the bottom of the foot at the base of the "ring toe" when walking? I get a sharp pain there occasionally and seemingly pretty randomly. I always assumed it was some kind of bone bruise or something since it only pops up here and there and seems to go away within an hour or so most times. Wondering if this might be what's causing it?
Yes it can. That’s where my pain is. It’s not a “Morton’s neuroma” but it’s a neuroma. I think it has to do with which toe it is between - but anyway, the maintenance is the same. There’s no cure but you can use these tricks to try and manage. What helps me is wide shoes, and a half insole with metatarsal pad. Also a pea size amount of Penetrex cream a night and during the day, depending. Stretches help a lot with circulation. Good luck!
Should the dome be placed centrally or slightly laterally (behind 3rd and 4th heads) of the transverse arch?
You will need to try to find the best location. Usually slight behind the transverse arch. I hope it helps.
I wrap my metatarsal so that my transverse ligament is supported not further spread out.
So if the pain is the second and third toe area it’s not a Morton’s neuroma?
Less likely, best get an assessment to determine the best treatment.
Toe spacers and some myofscial massage will fix it. Also get shows with a wide toe box
I think I have this but why in both feet ?
Thank you!
You're welcome!
17:04 this is where your advice clicked for me.
I have this i think but it also goes behnd my kneee and makes it hard to stand is that part of it or something else? And its worse when i get in shower
My pain sounds similar to this but only happens when I first get out of bed in the morning, no problem the rest of the day. Doesn’t really hurt when I tried the squeeze test, is there anything else it might be?
Well doc im 25 (6'1" & 100kg) i 1st got this pain in 23 after daily running for 9 days 5km..10th day pain was not so much but next day i couldn't run after that i couldn't even walk it remain same for 2 days & after that it slowly disappear.. now it frequently get repeated after 3-4 months i don't even go for run & It follow same pattern of pain days & intensity of pain pattern...
I do WFH on laptop usually on couch or bed for 9 hours a day.. what should i do
My foot has been good for a couple of days yesterday I walked out with my trainers on and today my neuroma if it is that is back again 😢I’m guessing it was the tight trainers I wore that has inflamed it with thick socks 😢
The cushion helped me, but my neuroma continues to get worse not more painful, but more numbness.
I do have narrow feet but i buy wide wieth, it dont hurt as much but if i dont put my incert in my shoe then its hard to walk,i start limping,it hurts
Does anyone have experience in running with a metatarsal dome?
i think i got in my left foot, is it painful on last two fingers as well bcoz if if by chance i hit my fingers on top little very painful
Do you mean toes?
I have neuroma, I bought shoes with a wide toe, soft sole, and an insole ( On Cloudstratus 3 ) Now I can walk for kilometers without feeling pain, with other narrow toe shoes this is no longer possible.
An ideal shoe, would you recommend any others to the other viewers?
Thank you
@@ThePhysioChannel willingly, I tried the skechers but they were narrow on the top, then it depends on the shape of the foot, but valid as shoes at a lower price than the on cloud, or the brooks very good, but with horrible colours... I can't express more, but a piece of advice, don't save money, the health of your feet is the health of our entire skeleton.
What do you think about injections?
If you have tried everything else then injections are worth trying, especially before considering surgery.
@@ThePhysioChannel It seems that I need to get an injection once a year then it comes back with vengeance.
And what about a shot of cortisone or surgery????
cortisone may help for a short duration. Surgery can help but results differ considerably.
Can Morton's neuroma be cured?
Yes it can, it can also be awkward though. Make sure you get some professional help.
Year number 7 no change for me
No not always at All they work
Can you explain what you mean. It may help the others. Thank you
