  If you have been treated for Mortons neuroma you are at greater risk of developing the condition again. So what can you do to prevent Mortons neuroma? […] Sometimes a neuroma is unavoidable, but there are steps you can take to prevent Mortons neuroma and the resulting nerve pain associated with this condition. […] Proper footwear can help you avoid developing Mortons neuroma: […] Choose A Wide Toe Box: The part of your shoe that surrounds your toes should not squeeze or pinch your toes, but should allow them to rest in a natural position. Cramped footwear can put pressure on the nerves in your foot or cause a thickening of the nerve tissue resulting in a neuroma.
