Patient came in with a nervy pain between his third and fourth toe. The pain gets worse when he walks, especially during push off phase of walking. He disliked walking on pavements or pebbled roads. He had the condition checked for Morton’s Neuroma but the doctor said it wasn’t that. I remember learning about Morton’s neuroma in my sports acupuncture training but in this case, the patient wasn’t diagnosed clinically with that condition. What should I do? I decided to treat this ailment with Morton’s neuroma needling techniques. After one session, the patient came back saying the nervy pain went down by 30%. With another four sessions, the patient was able to walk freely without any pain. So, you might ask, was this Morton’s neuroma then? I don’t have a definite answer for you, but what I do know is that there are obvious signs that mimic Morton’s Neuroma’s symptoms. Based on that, I can treat it accordingly.
