for Mortons Neuroma may include massaging the area that is affected,
using metatarsal pads that can help separate the foot bones and relieve
pressure on the pinched nerve, using supportive footwear and insoles,
using over-the-counter medications such as Ibuprofen and surgical solutions
may be required if none of the above helps. You should also talk to
your podiatrist in order to learn about other options and considerations
that are related to Morton’s Neuroma.

mortons neuroma may include padding and taping of the affected area.

to have flat feet then you should also use an arch support. You should
wear shoes that have wide toe boxes and try to avoid high heeled shoes.
