Morton’s Neuroma is a painful condition caused by a swollen nerve in the ball of the foot, often leading to discomfort and burning sensations in the toes. FACEMED in Essex offers effective treatments and surgical options to address and alleviate the symptoms associated with this condition.
Morton’s Neuroma is a swollen nerve located between the 3rd and 4th metatarsal bones in the ball of the foot. It causes shooting pains and a burning sensation that radiates into the toes.
The condition often results from pinching and pressure from the joints in the ball of the foot, exacerbated by tight or ill-fitting shoes. This leads to thickening of the nerve. Patients may experience the urge to remove their shoes and massage their foot for relief, with numbness and a sensation of “rumpled up socks” under the toes developing over time.
Initially, wider shoes are recommended, along with steroid injections to reduce inflammation. Surgical treatment involves removing the swollen portion of the nerve, with a recovery time of approximately 4-6 weeks. Please note that you will need to cease smoking for 6 weeks before and 8 weeks after surgery to aid the healing process.

Recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks. You will need to follow post-operative care instructions and avoid strenuous activities during this period.
Cease smoking 6 weeks before and 8 weeks after surgery to support the healing process. Follow all pre-operative and post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon.
Post-operative care involves managing pain, keeping the foot elevated, and attending follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. You may need to avoid tight or high-heeled shoes and follow specific rehabilitation recommendations.
Monica is extremely skilled at what she does, every procedure I have had has made me look natural, refreshed and more youthful. She is very professional and gives me confidence in her abilities. The clinic is absolutely spotless and run efficiently. I have been seeing her for several years and would highly recommend her services.
To say I’m pleased with the service is an understatement, outstanding patient care and a first class service. Doctor George and Team are by far the best dental team I’ve experienced. The FACEMED facility is of the highest standard and I highly recommend that anyone looking for any dental treatment to look no further than here.
Monica is truly amazing. The results are phenomenal and very natural. Monica spends time assessing your particular facial structure and physiology and treats accordingly, always being careful to produce the best results – she provides a bespoke service and her years of experience are priceless – I travel an hour to go to her! Would highly recommend and will never go anywhere else!
I hadn’t been to the dentist for year as i’ve always been too scared!! I plucked up the courage after Dr Ketan Sheth treated my 9 and 11 year old children and they were fine. Can honestly say now I don’t know why I didn’t go sooner. Dr Ketan Sheth is a fantastic dentist and all the staff and the surgery as a whole there is 5 star! Thank you for all your help and see you in 6 months.
I have been using FACEMED for a number of years now for natural, painless Botox injections. A few years ago I decided to also have Blepharoplasty Eyelid Surgery. The clinic has its own operating theatre for the Consultant Plastic Surgeon to perform surgery, the results were perfect. FACEMED is immaculately clean, the staff are professional and helpful and Monica is an absolute expert in her field.
I love my experience when visiting FACEMED. Such a relaxing, professional atmosphere. Furthermore, I look forward to seeing the results of my treatments, of which I am never in doubt. I totally recommend FACEMED for truly excellent results.
All treatments are paid in full at point of delivery.
