Morton’s Neuroma and SoftWave Therapy: Advanced Relief and Healing with Dr. Roger Huang at Disc Centers of America – Cleveland
Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition affecting the ball of the foot, often described as feeling like a pebble is stuck in your shoe. It occurs when the nerves between the toes become inflamed or compressed, leading to pain, tingling, and numbness. At Disc Centers of America – Cleveland, Dr. Roger Huang offers SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) as a non-invasive, drug-free solution to provide pain relief, reduce inflammation, and promote nerve healing for those suffering from Morton’s neuroma.
What is Morton’s Neuroma?
Morton’s neuroma is a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to the toes, typically between the third and fourth toes. This condition is caused by irritation or compression of the nerve, leading to pain and discomfort during walking or standing.
Symptoms of Morton’s Neuroma
Symptoms of Morton’s neuroma often include:
- Sharp or burning pain in the ball of the foot
- Tingling or numbness in the toes
- A feeling of having a pebble or marble in your shoe
- Increased pain during activities that involve pressure on the ball of the foot, such as walking or running
Symptoms typically worsen over time if left untreated.
Causes of Morton’s Neuroma
The primary causes of Morton’s neuroma include:
- Repetitive Stress or Overuse:
- Activities like running, jumping, or high-impact sports can irritate the nerves in the foot.
- Improper Footwear:
- Wearing tight or high-heeled shoes that compress the toes increases the risk of developing Morton’s neuroma.
- Foot Abnormalities:
- Structural issues such as flat feet, high arches, or bunions can contribute to nerve compression.
- Injuries:
- Trauma to the foot can damage or irritate the nerves, leading to inflammation.
Traditional Treatments for Morton’s Neuroma
Conventional treatments for Morton’s neuroma aim to reduce symptoms and alleviate pressure on the affected nerve. These may include:
-
Footwear Modifications:
- Switching to shoes with a wide toe box and good arch support.
-
Orthotics:
- Custom insoles to reduce pressure on the ball of the foot.
-
Pain Medications:
- Over-the-counter NSAIDs to reduce pain and inflammation.
-
Corticosteroid Injections:
- Temporary relief from pain and swelling, but with potential side effects.
-
Surgery:
- In severe cases, the nerve may be surgically removed, though this involves risks and long recovery times.
While these treatments can offer temporary relief, they often fail to address the underlying issue or promote long-term healing.
How SoftWave Therapy Helps Morton’s Neuroma
SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology (TRT) provides a breakthrough solution for Morton’s neuroma by addressing the root cause of pain and inflammation. Using electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves, SoftWave Therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promoting nerve repair, reducing inflammation, and restoring foot function.
The Science Behind SoftWave Therapy
SoftWave Therapy works through a process called mechanotransduction, which activates biological responses at the cellular level to repair and regenerate damaged tissues:
-
Nerve Repair and Regeneration:
- SoftWave Therapy stimulates the healing of damaged nerve tissue, reducing pain and improving function.
-
Inflammation Modulation:
- The therapy reduces harmful inflammation while promoting a healthy inflammatory response essential for healing.
-
Improved Blood Flow:
- SoftWave Therapy promotes angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), ensuring oxygen and nutrients reach the affected area.
-
Pain Relief:
- The therapy provides immediate and long-lasting relief by targeting the root cause of the pain.
Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Morton’s Neuroma
1. Non-Invasive and Drug-Free
SoftWave Therapy is a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgery or medications, making it an excellent option for long-term relief.
2. Pain Relief
Many patients experience immediate pain reduction after their first session, with continued improvements over time.
3. Nerve Healing and Regeneration
The therapy promotes the repair of the affected nerve tissue, addressing the underlying issue rather than masking symptoms.
4. Improved Mobility and Function
By reducing pain and inflammation, SoftWave Therapy restores range of motion and improves overall foot health.
5. Avoids Surgery
For many patients, SoftWave Therapy eliminates the need for invasive surgery or corticosteroid injections.
