Morton’s Neuroma Treatment

Shockwave Therapy for Morton's Neuroma in Nevada City & Grass Valley

Noninvasive, research-backed pain relief at Radius Physical + Sports Rehab

If you're experiencing burning pain between your third and fourth toes—or tingling, numbness, or discomfort in the ball of your foot—you may be dealing with Morton’s neuroma. This condition occurs when tissue around one of the nerves in the foot thickens, compressing the nerve and causing pain that worsens with activity or tight shoes.

While many patients find relief from footwear modifications, orthotics, rest, or corticosteroid injections, others continue to suffer. If that sounds like you, Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) may be the next best step.

What is ESWT?

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in targeted tissues. It’s a noninvasive, drug-free treatment that can significantly reduce pain and improve function in patients with chronic forefoot conditions like Morton’s neuroma—especially when other conservative options haven’t helped.

How It Works:

• Targeted relief: High-frequency impulses are delivered to the affected area

• No injections or downtime: Treatment is done in-office and patients return to activity soon after

• Science-supported: Clinical studies show symptom improvement within 1–4 weeks for most patients
