Conditions We Treat
Neuroma & Neuropathy Treatment in South-Central Texas
Burning pain at night, a feeling like you're walking on a pebble, or tingling and numbness in your toes can point to a couple of different nerve conditions — most commonly Morton's neuroma or peripheral neuropathy. We diagnose the specific cause and build a plan aimed at relieving pain and, where possible, protecting nerve function.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Symptom Review
We ask where the pain is, what it feels like, and when it happens.
Nerve & Sensation Testing
Simple in-office tests help pinpoint the source of the nerve pain.
Treatment Plan
Options range from shoe changes and injections to surgery for a confirmed neuroma.
Follow-Up
We track how your symptoms respond and adjust the plan as needed.
Patient Questions
What feels like a hot pebble under the ball of my foot?
That's a classic description of Morton's neuroma — a thickened, irritated nerve between the toes. An exam and sometimes imaging can confirm the diagnosis.
What's the difference between Morton's neuroma and peripheral neuropathy?
A neuroma is irritation of a specific nerve, usually between the third and fourth toes, causing localized pain. Peripheral neuropathy is broader nerve damage, often from diabetes, that typically causes numbness, tingling, or burning across a wider area of the foot.
Can foot nerve pain be reversed without long-term medication?
Many patients find relief through shoe changes, padding, and injections, and neuromas can often be treated surgically if conservative care doesn't help. Neuropathy management depends heavily on the underlying cause, which we'll evaluate carefully.
