Which specialist performs Morton's neuroma surgery?

A podiatrist examines the forefoot, reviews your symptoms and checks whether pain is coming from the nerve between the toes or from another problem. A surgical podiatrist can discuss options such as removing the irritated nerve or releasing pressure around it. An orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon may also evaluate and perform this procedure, depending on local services and the complexity of your case.

Start with a podiatry or foot and ankle consultation. Take details of where the pain sits, which shoes trigger it, whether there is burning or tingling, and what footwear changes or other treatments you have tried. Bring imaging reports if they are available. Surgery is considered only after the diagnosis and non-surgical choices have been reviewed.

Arrange prompt medical assessment for rapidly worsening swelling, a hot or red foot, an open wound, fever, new weakness, or loss of feeling that does not settle. After an operation, increasing pain with drainage, spreading redness, fever, or a suddenly cold or pale foot needs urgent attention.

Ask whether the diagnosis is confirmed, what non-surgical options remain, which operation is being proposed, how sensation between the toes may change, and what recovery and activity restrictions to expect.
