Diagnosing And Treating Morton's Neuroma

Better Fitting Shoes

Better-fitting shoes act as a prevention measure as well as treatment for Morton's neuroma. After experiencing the excruciating pain with tight or high heeled shoes, you need rest. A change in the type of shoes you wear is very critical. For individuals who still need to walk somewhere daily for example when going to work, try flat shoes. The flat shoes will help give you a break while your feet relax and get back to normal. Avoid wearing high heels for a while to give your time feet to heal.

Doctors recommend if you have to wear high heels to do so when you are not walking for long distances. You can decide to wear heels for events where you know you will not need to move a lot. Look for padded shoes especially the athletic ones. The orthotics come well-padded both in the sole and on the sides. The padding keeps your feet comfortable when you are engaging in a lot of sports. Flat and comfortable shoes relieve the pressure on your feet and allow the bones to spread out well.
