What is Morton's Neuroma?
The Pathomechanics of Nerve Compression
Morton's Neuroma is a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes. This typically happens between the third and fourth toes. It is caused by irritation, trauma, or excessive pressure.
When the metatarsal bones are squeezed together (often by tight shoes or biomechanics like flat feet), they pinch the nerve. Over time, the nerve becomes inflamed and enlarged, leading to permanent damage if not treated.
Common Symptoms:
- Feeling like you are standing on a pebble in your shoe.
- A burning pain in the ball of your foot that may radiate into your toes.
- Tingling or numbness in your toes.
Why Orthotics Are The Primary Treatment
The goal of treatment is to Decompress the Nerve.
Custom orthotics achieve this by incorporating a metatarsal pad. This pad lifts and separates the metatarsal heads, opening up the space between the bones so the nerve is no longer pinched. This allows the inflammation to subside and the nerve to heal.
Fast Facts
- Location: Most common between the 3rd and 4th toes.
- Women: 8 to 10 times more likely to develop it than men (due to footwear).
- Correction: 70.6% success rate with custom orthotics.

Shop Custom InsolesEffective Treatment Hierarchy
Medical consensus focuses on one goal for Morton's Neuroma: Decompression. You must create space between the metatarsal heads to stop the pinching.
1. Wider Shoes
Footwear Changes
Switching to shoes with a wide toe box helps reduce lateral compression. While essential, footwear alone often cannot lift the dropped transverse arch that is causing the nerve entrapment.
2. Injections & Surgery
Cortisone / Neurectomy
Cortisone shots provide temporary pain relief but risk fat pad atrophy. Surgery (neurectomy) involves cutting out the nerve, which can lead to permanent numbness or stump neuromas.
3. Custom Orthotics
Metatarsal Spreading
The only non-invasive cure that targets the root cause. A custom device with a metatarsal pad gently lifts and spreads the foot bones, releasing the pinched nerve instantly.

Understanding the difference between simply cushioning the forefoot versus mechanically separating the metatarsal bones is key to relief.
Generic Insoles
mass produced
-
Compresses Nerves
Many generic insoles crowd the toe box, which can squeeze the metatarsals together and worsen nerve pain.
-
Lack of Metatarsal Lift
Without a metatarsal pad, the bones collapse onto the nerve with every step.
-
Temporary Cushioning
Soft foam feels good initially but bottoms out quickly, offering no protection for the irritated nerve.
