Mortons Neuroma Surgery Brisbane

There are plenty of ways to resolve mortons neuroma pain quickly. We have had consistently good results in under 5 treatments using myotherapy techniques such as Cold Laser, Electro needling and massage to the calves – it is important to find the most appropriate footwear for your presentation. If Myotherapy doesn’t work for you - you can still get the surgery.

Some neuromas are non-operable – we’ve had good results with them.

Appropriate footwear and myotherapy techniques that improve the blood flow of the nerve (using cold laser and electro needling) – rapidly reducing swelling, inflammation and pain.

Ultrasound guided cortisone is another non-surgical intervention – a number of people we have treated have had cortisone without success before coming to us.

In the early stages of a neuroma symptoms may only occur intermittently. But when an aggravation to the nerve becomes severe enough that it occurs several times a month or the pain doesn’t really go away the inflammation in the nerve is unlikely to reduce without an intervention. If treated early enough there are no ramifications to having had a Morton’s Neuroma.

Different strategies work for different presentations. We have had profound success by using cold laser to help the nerve inflammation dissipate and electro needling to improve blood flow to the nerve. We have found this quickly leads to pain resolution, reduction in nerve symtpms and a return to weight bearing activities.

Morton’s Neuroma Surgery is a procedure to extract the swollen fibrotic part of the nerve in the foot. The swelling causes to its surrounding structures putting pressure on the nerve itself causing pain, nerve sensations such as numbness and tingling and burning irritation.

Surgery usually involves putting the patient under general anaesthetic. There are two types of approaches: dorsal and plantar. Dorsal involves the incisions on the top of the foot which allows the patient to walk soon post-surgery. Plantar, involves surgery on the sole of the foot. During recovery, patients need to be on crutches for aproximately 3-6 weeks and will be unable to wear footwear as the injury sight will bleed. A scar may result from the surgery which may be uncomfortable when walking.

Following a surgery, long term improvements may vary. Studies have shown up to 35% of people have the neuroma removed and STILL experience pain. In addition to this, success rates may vary depending on the state of the patient. Factors such as severity of the pain, quantity, and age can affect surgical success rates. During recovery, patients need to be on crutches for aproximately 3-6 weeks and will be unable to wear footwear as the injury sight will bleed.

If you have been diagnosed with Morton’s Neuroma, generally, the initial treatment is non-operative. Success rate of neuroma surgery are imprecise at only 65% of people becoming being pain free after the procedure.

Morton’s Neuroma Surgery success rate ranges from 55 – 85%. This variation depends on the skills of the surgeon, the severity of your condition and the type of procedure performed on the day. Studies have shown up to 35% of people have the neuroma removed and STILL experience pain.

This is highly variable to your case. If it involves a single case of Morton’s Neuroma, it may take shorter. On the other hand, if it involves multiple cases, then a longer, more extensive procedure may take place. Multiple surgeries may also be involved. Recovery will involve time off work, and 4-6 weeks on crutches.

The painful part of neuromal surgery is the 6 weeks recovery in which you are unable to weight bear (using crutches) with your foot elevated. Each case will be unique, but the Mortons neuroma support groups almost all describe a difficult 4 weeks post operatively.

Bleeding from the incision, pain, crutches for 4-6 weeks, difficulty preparing food and driving.

Morton’s Neuroma can be treated initially with myotherapy. Using myotherapy techniques such as Cold Laser, Electro needling and massage to the calves – as well as finding the most appropriate footwear and toe domes. If the individual’s quality of life is being significantly reduced, the pain is quite severe and if conservative treatment has been ineffective, surgery is an option. If the neuroma’s size is less than 0.8 cm, then there is a chance that the symptoms can lessen from surgery.

Not necessarily – statistically only 65% of surgeries are successful at resolving pain associated with neuroma. The surgery is expensive and requires 4-6 weeks on crutches.

This is not unusual, particularly when footwear is the culprit, such as narrow toed high heels, or motor cycle boots. Often symptoms start in one foot, and to avoid the pain in the first foot we overuse the second foot. Myotherapy solutions involving low level laser, expert deep tissue massage and electro needling to improve nerve function can have a rapid and profund impact on neuromas that are less than 3 years old.

Size is not the deciding criteria, rather the severity of the symptoms. Some MRI studies show enlarged nerve in a asymptomatic foot while some studies show normal sized neuromas in the setting of a very painful foot.

Nerve pain after a Morton’s Neuroma Surgery is commonly referred to as ‘Post Neurectomy Pain’. Studies have shown up to 35% of people have the neuroma removed and STILL experience pain.

Medical complications include:

• Stroke
• Drug reaction
• Heart attack
• Blood clots in the legs or lungs
• Death in exceedingly rare circumstance

Surgical complications include:

• Recurrence for neuroma – the growth of neuroma in very small percentages
• Infection – this is commonly due to the antibiotics administered pre- and post-surgery.
• Toe numbness – The never of that supplies the web space is removed along with the neuroma.
• Wound healing problems – often happens to diabetics or smokers. If you do smoke, you should stop smoking 4 weeks before the operation.
