conservative treatment options

Neuromas form on nerves and without early treatment, could become permanent. The staff examines your foot first, looking for obvious outward trauma. Most cases of neuroma require conservative treatment such as:

  • Changing footwear
  • Adding orthotic support
  • Limiting hard impacts
  • Icing the area
  • Steroid injections
  • Corrective surgery

Don't let painful neuromas stop you from living your best life!

treatment & surgery options

Dr. Silvester and Dr. Larsen specialize in many advanced minimally and non-invasive treatments, and if necessaryadvanced minimally invasive and traditional surgical techniques with patient proven success stories.

If your neuroma isn’t responding to conservative treatments, surgery may be your best option, such as:

Decompression surgery reduces the pressure on the nerve causing pain. Decompression surgery also cuts some of the ligaments near the bones.

In other cases, your medical team removes the nerve or tumor causing the pain. After your surgery, you may still have numbness, but the pain subsides.

When other non-operative treatments fail and compression of the nerve is playing a role in the nerve dysfunction, surgery may be the best option. Sometimes nerve disease is like sleeping on your elbow wrong. You wake up and your hand is numb or tingling. The nerve is just always being compressed.

Nerve decompression surgery allows the surgeon to open the tight area through which the nerves pass by dividing the anatomical structures that encase the nerve.
