The pain is associated with plantar fascitis, an inflammation of the long band of connective tissue running from the heel to the ball of the foot. Treatment regiment may encompass exercises, anti-inflammatory medication or cortisone injections. Finally, neuromas are enlarge benign growths of nerves, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. Bones and other tissue rubbing against and irritating the nerves cause them. Abnormal bone structure or pressure from poorly fitting shoes also create the condition, which can result in pain, burning, tingling or numbness between the toes and the ball of the foot.
Conservative treatment includes padding, orthotics and cortisone injections.
In our office we care about our patients and attempt conservative care initially. We recommend surgery when it is beneficial to our patients. Feel free to contact our office for more information on these or any other foot problems. Please read it. For all your pharmacy needs.
