NEUROMA (MORTON’S)
Our North Little Rock neuroma specialists provide expert care for neuromas, relieving nerve pain, reducing inflammation, and restoring comfortable, pain-free walking.
At Premier Foot & Ankle, our North Little Rock neuroma specialists provide expert care for patients throughout Central Arkansas, helping relieve pain and restore foot function. A neuroma, often called Morton’s neuroma, is a painful thickening of the tissue surrounding a nerve leading to the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. This condition is caused by nerve compression or irritation from tight or narrow shoes, high heels, foot deformities like bunions or hammertoes, repetitive activities, or trauma. Symptoms may include sharp, burning pain, tingling, numbness, or a feeling that something is inside the ball of the foot, often worsening when walking or wearing restrictive footwear.
Even mild neuroma symptoms can impact daily life. Pain or tingling may make walking, standing, exercising, or wearing shoes uncomfortable. Persistent discomfort can alter gait, strain other joints, reduce mobility, and limit participation in sports or everyday activities. Untreated neuromas may progress, causing chronic pain and permanent nerve changes, which can affect independence and overall quality of life.
Our North Little Rock foot specialists provide comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans for neuromas. Options may include custom orthotics, padding, activity and footwear modifications, MLS Laser Therapy to reduce inflammation and promote nerve healing, and AquaRoll Therapy to relieve pressure and improve circulation. In advanced cases, surgical intervention may be recommended. By relieving pain and restoring function, we help patients move comfortably and confidently every day.

Targeted light therapy penetrates deep into the affected tissue to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and promote healing of irritated nerves.
Shockwave Therapy:
High-energy acoustic waves stimulate natural healing, reduce chronic inflammation, and may relieve pressure on the nerve.
Custom Orthotics:
Individually designed shoe inserts redistribute pressure away from the affected area, support proper foot mechanics, and relieve pain.
Footwear Guidance & Activity Modifications:
Recommendations for shoes with wide toe boxes, cushioning, and supportive soles to reduce irritation.
