• #2 Managing Morton’s Neuroma: Integrated Treatment Approaches

  https://www.motionspecificrelease.com/post/managing-morton-s-neuroma-integrated-treatment-approaches

  Morton’s neuroma, often involving the common digital nerve between the third and fourth metatarsal heads, is a painful condition characterized by the thickening of tissue around the nerve. This results in sharp, burning pain and significant discomfort in the affected area. This condition can be exacerbated by tight footwear or repetitive stress, so proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for relief. Mortons neuromas are relatively common, with experts estimating that approximately 1 in 3 people will experience a Mortons neuroma at some point in their life (Cleveland Clinic). […] Our recommended approach for treating Mortons Neuroma involves a combination of cortisone injections (if needed), manual therapy, acupuncture, and a functional exercise program. This integrated approach often achieves significant results, with success rates exceeding 80%, and is far more effective at avoiding surgery than relying on any single treatment modality alone.

[…] Interventions for the treatment of Morton’s neuroma provide a diverse range of proposed therapeutic effects, but evidence in the peerreviewed literature for many of these effects is limited. […] From a nonsurgical invasive perspective, corticosteroid injections induce atrophy of the webspace tissue, possibly decreasing compression and inflammation of the nerve. Alcohol injections may induce neuritis and Wallerian nerve degeneration (chemical neurolysis) until the nerve is destroyed or completely ceases to function. […] From a surgical perspective, nerve excision (neurectomy) is essentially amputation of the nerve or neuroma to alleviate chronic pain. Surgical neurolysis aims to decompress the nerve to relieve pain whilst maintaining normal nerve function and toe sensation. Metatarsal osteotomies may also decompress the nerve, relieving pain.

  At this stage, traditionally, a further cortisone injection might be considered or else discussion veer towards surgical treatment. Surgery to remove the Mortons neuroma carries a long recovery period and carries risks. For these reasons alternative treatments are appealing. […] Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive technique used in a variety of musculoskeletal contexts (most notably the spine). […] The procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance using local anaesthetic to numb the area. A radiofrequency needle is then passed into the bursa and used to shrink and denervate the area. There are no skin stitches to heal and recovery is much more rapid than after surgical neurectomy. Some patients do experience temporary swelling and discomfort. […] Experience at the London Foot and Ankle Centre shows that fewer than 20% of patients who have radiofrequency nerve ablation subsequently require surgical treatment. The treatment can be effective in cases of stump neuroma that complicate surgical excision.

  Mortons neuroma has been traditionally treated with physical therapy and sometimes steroid injections or surgery. Recently, a more effective treatment has emerged: minimally invasive cryosurgery. Unlike earlier treatments, this one-time procedure produces near instantaneous results and requires almost no downtime. […] Cryosurgery is rapidly becoming a favourite treatment for Mortons neuroma. This is because it is minimally invasive; it is quick, relatively painless, requires almost no recovery time, and has an exceptionally high rate of success. […] Cryosurgerys very low rate of complications, minimal recovery time, and its quick and relatively painless delivery makes it one of the best treatments for addressing Mortons neuroma. This is especially apparent in comparison to conventional surgical procedures, which are more invasive and carry moderately higher risks. […] If you experience symptoms of Mortons neuroma in the future, cryosurgery can be carried out again without risk of additional complications.

  These treatments work for most people, though It might take six months or longer to get relief from your symptoms. And symptoms of Mortons neuroma often come back. If these conservative treatments don’t relieve your symptoms and it’s very painful for you to walk, your doctor might move on to: […] Cold therapy for Morton’s neuroma […] Also called cryogenic neuroablation, this procedure involves applying extremely low temperatures to the irritated nerve to kill some of the cells there. This makes Mortons neuroma less likely to come back. […] Radiofrequency ablation […] This procedure uses heat from an electrical current to destroy some of the nerve cells in the affected areas. That keeps them from transmitting pain signals to your brain. […] Mortons neuroma surgery […] Decompression surgery involves cutting areas inside your foot that are near the affected area, such as a ligament. This may reduce the pressure on the nerve. Another surgical option is neurectomy, which removes the painful nerve.

  Mortons neuroma has been traditionally treated with physical therapy and sometimes steroid injections or surgery. Recently, a more effective treatment has emerged: minimally invasive cryosurgery. Unlike earlier treatments, this one-time procedure produces near instantaneous results and requires almost no downtime. […] Cryosurgery is rapidly becoming a favourite treatment for Mortons neuroma. This is because it is minimally invasive; it is quick, relatively painless, requires almost no recovery time, and has an exceptionally high rate of success. […] Cryosurgerys very low rate of complications, minimal recovery time, and its quick and relatively painless delivery makes it one of the best treatments for addressing Mortons neuroma. This is especially apparent in comparison to conventional surgical procedures, which are more invasive and carry moderately higher risks. […] If you experience symptoms of Mortons neuroma in the future, cryosurgery can be carried out again without risk of additional complications.

  Although steroid injection is often the initial nonsurgical invasive treatment for Morton’s neuroma, reports vary as to its effectiveness. […] Interventions for the treatment of Morton’s neuroma provide a diverse range of proposed therapeutic effects, but evidence in the peerreviewed literature for many of these effects is limited. […] From a nonsurgical invasive perspective, corticosteroid injections induce atrophy of the webspace tissue, possibly decreasing compression and inflammation of the nerve. Alcohol injections may induce neuritis and Wallerian nerve degeneration (chemical neurolysis) until the nerve is destroyed or completely ceases to function. […] From a surgical perspective, nerve excision (neurectomy) is essentially amputation of the nerve or neuroma to alleviate chronic pain. Surgical neurolysis aims to decompress the nerve to relieve pain whilst maintaining normal nerve function and toe sensation. Metatarsal osteotomies may also decompress the nerve, relieving pain.
