Morton's neuroma

Submitted by pi on Fri, 2007-09-28 03:10.

What points would you suggest for someone with Morton's neuroma of the foot?
"Morton's neuroma is an enlarged nerve that usually occurs in the third interspace, which is between the third and fourth toes. The symptom is localized pain in that area. Problems often develop in this area because part of the lateral plantar nerve combines with part of the medial plantar nerve here. When the two nerves combine, they are typically larger in diameter than those going to the other toes. Also, the nerve lies in subcutaneous tissue, just above the fat pad of the foot, close to an artery and vein. The reason the nerve enlarges has not been determined."

Thanks!

Hi there,

I actually have treated this before somewhat successfully. The points are not the most confortable for the patient, but they seemed to be effective. Kd1 & Kd2 e-stim. Yes, ouch, but it worked in relieving the pain. Let me know if you try it and if it was as successful for you!

Kelli, your treatment was only to relieve the pain or does it actually also helped reducing the size of the enlarged nerve?

Thank you!
