Morton’s neuroma is a common condition that affects the foot. It is caused by a thickening of the tissue that surrounds the nerves leading to the toes which can cause pain and discomfort. One of the most common questions people ask about the condition is whether or not it will go away on its own. In this blog post, we’ll explore that question and look at some of the best treatments available including physiotherapy and chiropractic care.
The short answer to the question of whether Morton’s neuroma will go away on its own is no. The condition cannot be cured without intervention. However, there is good news. With the right treatment most people with Morton’s neuroma can significantly reduce their symptoms and live completely normal lives.
Two of the most effective treatments for Morton’s neuroma are physiotherapy and chiropractic care. Physiotherapy involves the use of exercises and manual therapy to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. This treatment can also help prevent the condition from worsening. Chiropractic care also involves manual therapy but with a focus on realigning the joints in the foot and improving overall foot health.
Other treatments that can be effective in reducing symptoms of Morton’s neuroma include wearing proper footwear, taking anti-inflammatory medications and using orthotics or shoe inserts. A combination of these treatments may be the most effective option for some people.
It’s important to note that Morton’s neuroma can be a chronic condition meaning it can last for many years or even a lifetime. However, with proper treatment and management, most people find that they are able to keep their symptoms under control and live normal, active lives.
In conclusion, Morton’s neuroma will not go away on its own, but with the right treatment, most people can manage their symptoms effectively. Physiotherapy and chiropractic care are two of the most effective treatments available, and a combination of these therapies along with proper footwear and other treatments can help reduce pain and inflammation and improve overall foot health. If you are experiencing symptoms of Morton’s neuroma, it’s important to seek help from an experienced healthcare professional who can help you develop a personalized treatment plan. So, do not ignore this condition and make sure to take the necessary measures to manage it properly.
