Watch: CURE Morton’s Neuroma, Metatarsalgia & Ball of the Foot Pain FAST! — MichiganFootDoctors YouTube
Morton’s toe — when the second toe is longer than the big toe — is found in 10-20% of people, and most have no symptoms. The minority who do can usually fix it with the right insole alone.
You’re in the right place. Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM, FACFAS — board-certified foot & ankle surgeon with 3,000+ surgeries — explains exactly what Morton’s toe (long second toe) means and what works. Call (810) 206-1402 for same-day appointment at Howell or Bloomfield Township.
