Neuroma
Foot neuromas, including Morton’s Neuroma, occur when the nerve between the toes becomes irritated and thickened, leading to burning pain, numbness, or the sensation of walking on a pebble. While the most common location is between the third and fourth toes (Morton’s neuroma), the second most common is between the second and third toes, known as a 2nd interspace neuroma.

At New Orleans Podiatry, we specialize in diagnosing the exact nerve involved and designing a treatment plan tailored to the severity of your symptoms and your lifestyle.
How We Diagnose Neuromas
We use a precise and targeted diagnostic approach to determine whether your symptoms are caused by a neuroma or another source of forefoot pain:
This allows us to determine the exact location and severity of the neuroma—whether it's in the 3rd–4th interspace (Morton’s) or the 2nd–3rd interspace.
Treatment Options We Offer
We tailor treatment plans to relieve nerve irritation and restore comfortable, pain-free movement:
Our goal is to relieve pressure on the nerve, reduce inflammation, and help you return to walking comfortably.
If you’re experiencing burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp pain in the ball of your foot, you may be dealing with a neuroma. At New Orleans Podiatry, we specialize in both Morton’s neuroma and 2nd interspace neuromas, providing precise diagnosis and personalized treatment to relieve nerve irritation and restore comfort.
