Testimonials

As a teacher, I am on my feet for a good portion of the day. At the end of the day, the balls of my feet felt as though I was walking on shards of hot glass. After a few Laser treatments, the sensation started to subside and my feet became much more comfortable to walk on. The pain lessens with each treatment. I am happy to say that I even walked nine holes of golf for the first time in a year

I am writing to thank you for your help over the recent months with my toe infection. I am so pleased with the results and the overall experience. It was relatively painless and there was no down-time or recovery time! Every appointment offered me significant improvement. The laser treatments were the safest and easiest medical choice for me and I am so glad I did not have to undergo surgery.

-Sharon G.

I want to thank Doctor Fosdick for the pain relief I am having. My feet feel much better. I also want to thank his staff for following up with the insurance company and getting them to pay partially for my orthotics as they initially said they would.

Morton's Neuroma

The nerves and muscles of the footMorton's Neuroma (also known as Morton's metatarsalgia, Morton's neuralgia, plantar neuroma and intermetatarsal neuroma) is a benign fibrous tissue formation of an intermetatarsal plantar nerve, most commonly of the third and fourth intermetatarsal spaces.

This problem is characterised by numbness and pain, relieved by taking your shoes off.

Symptoms include: pain when you walk or stand, frequently after only a short time; the pain is a shooting pain affecting the contiguous halves of two toes. You may also experience a burning or numbness usually you will feel this between your 3rd and 4th toes, though it may affect any two toes.

 

Treatment of Morton's Neuroma

We can pad and tape your feet to take the weight away from the neuroma, as well as prescribe orthotics and arch supports if you have flat feet. We can also inject anesthetic and cortical steroids to relieve the pain. Early treatment of a neuroma is important in preventing the progressing of the scarring of the nerve.

If the neuroma is severe, we can use minimally-invasive surgery in our office that will get you back on your feet the same day. If you suffer from this problem, we will assist you to get your feet healthy again.

 

Your feet should be pain free.
