Morton’s Neuromas

Pressure on the nerve as we walk causes Neuromas

In the early stages, pain may be relieved by avoiding higher heeled shoes, or by wearing soft insoles and supportive athletic or walking shoes.  As the nerve becomes more irritated, swollen and inflamed even high doses of anti-inflammatories generate little to no relief of the symptoms. Cortisone injections are usually only temporary and multiple alcohol injections are of little benefit.  Neuroma surgery is at best a “crap shoot;” as even when the result is “good,” reoccurrence or generation of a new neuroma in the adjacent inter-space or other foot usually occurs.

Treat the cause of the inflamed nerve!

For the most part, it is commonly accepted that the cause of the problem is excess pressure on the inter-metatarsal nerve between the 2nd and 3rd, or 3rd and 4th metatarsals. It is believed that collapse of the long arch of the foot results in a breakdown of the metatarsal arch and places excessive pressure on the involved nerves. Although this condition generally begins with only one nerve it often progresses over time to involve nerves in both inter-spaces in both feet. The pain associated with weight bearing activity frequently reaches a point were the patient pleads to have their neuromas removed surgically.  Although this is a tempting option, it rarely results in a good result, as not only can the nerve regrow, this time in scar tissue from the surgery, but often it fails to resolve much if any of the pain.  Complications following the surgery include stump neuromas, new neuromas in the adjacent inter-space or opposite foot, heavy painful scar tissue, and other common surgical problems. Successful treatment requires something that will decrease the pressure on the involved nerves on a permanent basis.

Orthotics relieve the pressure that causes Neuromas

Simple treatments that use pads to support the metatarsal arch or spread the metatarsals so as to reduce some of the pressure on the nerve may be helpful in the early stages of the problem. Even avoidance of higher heeled shoes sometimes helps initially. Eventually, if the patient remains active, more aggressive attempts to reduce the pressure on the nerve are required to get any help at all. Custom orthotics that attempt to restore the longitudinal arch , maintain the metatarsal arch , and relieve the pressure,  irritation, inflammation, swelling and pain have been reported as effective treatments for many years.

Many foot specialists will suggest that even those custom orthotics, when worn during all weight bearing periods, fall short of stopping the progression of this painful condition.  Nerve pain is difficult to treat in any part of the human body but on the ball of the foot it can be a nightmare. When orthotics fail to adequately relieve the pain, it is usually because they fail to relieve sufficient pressure from the nerve.

Theta-Orthotics relieve more pressure from the Neuroma

The more pressure that can be relieved from the nerve, the more successful the treatment.  Because Theta-Orthotics have more correction, almost twice as much, than any other orthotic you can buy, they can relieve much more pain.  In fact, the amount of pressure that can be generated by full time use of Theta-Orthotics is often sufficient to decrease inflammation, swelling, and the actual size of your neuroma. 

More theta correction equals less Neuroma Pain.

Let Theta start to control your neuroma pain today!

Neuromas are probably one of the more difficult conditions that I treat. Recovery from nerve damage involves a reawakening process that can have set backs and times where you wonder if the treatment will work.  Considering all factors, treatment with Theta-Orthotics is clearly superior to any other options available. When my patients are consistent with my recommendations, this treatment is highly successful.  As a podiatric surgeon, I have experienced all of the failures possible with cortisone, alcohol injections, and the many surgical procedures intended to help this condition.  Without hesitation and considering all factors involved, after 20 years as a podiatric surgeon, I now recommend the following: 1. Do not consider neuroma surgery until you have tried Theta-Orthotics.  2. Waste little time on medications, painful injections, and expensive physical therapy.   3.  If you are now desperate with pain and have already tried other treatments, including surgery, start treatment with Theta- Orthotics today as it IS your best hope.

How can we treat Neuromas on the internet?

Physical exam primarily aids in diagnosis; and to the extent that neuroma symptoms are characteristic, or that other physicians have already made the diagnosis, examination of each individual patient is not necessary. What is important for successful treatment is that one is capable of knowing the cause of this painful condition and that the treatment adequately addressees the cause. Theta-Orthotics will reduce the neuroma causing pressure on the inter-metatarsal nerve so well that need for surgery in my private surgical practice was reduced more than 95 percent.  It can do the same for you, even if you are thousands of miles away.

Dr. Jarrett, Just wanted you to know how happy I am that I found you on the Internet.  After two neuroma surgeries and numerous cortisone injections on my left foot, my right foot started in with the same thing.  When I did a google search and found your site, I wanted to believe that you could help but I already had 3 pairs of orthotics, all helped just a little but none of them were much better than the other. When I called for a free consultation, what you said made sense. I figured if you were willing to guarantee your help, I was willing to try. The foot that I had surgery on still hurts a little but I have absolutely no pain in my right foot. It has been 4 months since I started wearing them, and I cannot believe the difference. I can wear the 30's now in most of my shoes and the 25's in my shoes with a "good" arch support. Thanks so much for all your help, I only wish I would have found you 5 years ago.   Shirley Heinrich Colorado Springs , CO 03/28/04

Dr. Jarrett, I've been using the 20 and 25 degree orthotics for about 3 months now, and they are the first and only orthotic that has enabled me to walk more than 500 feet without pain in athletic shoes. Although there is also significant improvement in my street shoes, the benefits in casual shoes have been extraordinary. I've tried dozens of other designs over 25 years and none have fulfilled their promise as has your design.  Congratulations.  Now how do we make you an orthotic guru? Your products are too good to keep in obscurity.  Rich Spitzer Northbrook, IL. August 28 2004

Every 5 degrees of Theta doubles the benefit of the device.  Theta-Orthotics now in seven different corrections (10-40), have 20 degrees more theta, and stop four times as much pain.

Theta-Orthotics are made from a durable, supportive, shock-absorbing Urethane Rubber. This unique rubber design works better and in more shoe types than any other orthotic you can buy.

With seven quantified levels of theta to choose from we can start the Treatment Program with gentle support at 10 or 15 degrees of theta or aggressive functional control at 25-30 degrees.. Once you fully adjust to your starting correction, most patients want and need more help.  If they don’t get it,  most will soon determine that the treatment is of little benefit and quit.  Patients with high arches often feel like they need far more support than they can get in  other 20 degree orthotics., Even low arch patients quit because they don't get enough correction eventually. What most patients need are more theta options. ,They need a treatment program that will start them out at a comfortable theta level then progressively increase theta correction until the desired level is reached. The most likely cause of failure with this treatment is the perception that it can be done with one level of correction over a short period of time.  Some patients  may benefit from a device that provides modest support for three or more years , and we have one of those to accommodate that patient, but only we can offer you a progressive treatment program. Your Personal Theta treatment program will be most successful if it has lots of theta options.

A comprehensive Theta-Orthotics Treatment Program with seven levels of correction to chose from would ideally provide you with one custom fitted orthotic at your optimal starting correction, then another one every 5 degrees, all the way up to where you want your treatment to stop.  This could take 4-7 different orthotics to get from your starting theta correction to a theoretically optimal correction of 40 degrees theta.  A complete treatment program would keep your existing measurements on hand, digitally, and could mill a new orthotic at any correction level at any subsequent time. A comprehensive treatment program would be with you every step you take for the rest of your life and would be durable and economical.  It would let each patient increase theta at his or her own pace. It would provide both medical and technical support with licensed physicians and/or clinical assistants.  We have Theta Posture Treatment Programs  that start  from 158 dollars.
