Expert Foot & Ankle Treatment from Michigan’s #1 Podiatrist - Balance Foot & Ankle Specialist
Trusted Morton's Neuroma Removal
in Howell & Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
If you’re dealing with sharp, burning foot pain or the sensation of walking on a pebble, you might be suffering from a neuroma. This nerve issue commonly affects the ball of the foot, especially between the third and fourth toes. At Balance Foot & Ankle Specialist, we offer expert neuroma removal surgery to help relieve your pain, restore mobility, and get you back on your feet.
A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that can occur in response to irritation, compression, or trauma. While conservative treatments like padding, footwear changes, or cortisone injections may work for some, others may require surgical removal to achieve lasting relief. If your symptoms have persisted or worsened despite non-surgical efforts, it may be time to consider a permanent solution.
Our team in Howell and Bloomfield Hills is dedicated to providing personalized care in a welcoming, state-of-the-art environment. We take time to explain your condition, treatment options, and recovery process—so you feel confident and comfortable every step of the way. Let us help you walk pain-free again.
When Is Neuroma Surgery Needed?
Neuroma surgery is usually considered when conservative treatments like orthotics, cortisone injections, or shoe changes no longer provide relief. If you’re experiencing chronic foot pain, numbness, or tingling that interferes with daily life, surgical removal may be the right next step.
