5 Effective Morton's Neuroma Exercises

[@kellygaitten1551]

Love this. I have those exact toe splay inserts. They are wonderful

[@docjenfit]

They are our favorite!

[@kevinturnertv]

Thank you so much for this video🙏just finished a gout flare with swelling and didn’t know this pain associated with Morton’s. Will ice and follow these tips immediately. Grateful for your expertise💛

[@docjenfit]

Thanks so much and I really hope you find the exercises helpful!

[@Jenjenn0710]

I used a paper towel instead of socks. It did start to feel better. & I had already been doing the "on the toes knee forward" while getting ready for company & I was so happy to see that you mentioned it. I'm going to try the flattening foot too. Thanks I really needed your video today. I was totally prepared to go to the ER after company leaves today, because of how bad my pain is. My 2nd toe is completely numb, and it feels like someone cut open my foot under the 2nd and 3rd toe and stuffed a big bumble bee in there, and it is stinging me. Idk how else to describe it.

[@docjenfit]

It can definitely be scary! Hope you have given these exercises a try for these past few weeks!

[@Jenjenn0710]

@docjenfit yes! Well tape too. I've been taping my toes together

[@shaynadavidovhansonrealtor]

Went back to Bikram yoga ..w Morton’s Neuroma .. Never thought would be possible- but being mindful of foot and seems to be strengthening it.

[@docjenfit]

Amazing! So glad that is helpful!

[@Jenjenn0710]

Thanks Jen! ✌️

[@docjenfit]

Of course! Hope it was helpful!

[@muralidharranjalkar5322]

Good information..thanks a lot...

[@docjenfit]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@nickfunk5804]

I find my biggest neuroma agitator is flexing my toes when I keel. You show this in your video at 4:40 when your left foot is being tremendously flexed compressing the neuroma. Doing this greatly inflames my neuroma.

[@docjenfit]

Very true and you can absolutely do this exercise in a different position. You could have the front foot up on a chair so that you are just standing on your back foot. Thanks for the comment. I should have mentioned that in the video

[@lynnettemartos6699]

Would those toe spacers from pedicures be sufficient?

[@docjenfit]

yeah! or socks even!

[@ericcsaba8779]

Have you tried "Happy Feet" Socks? I have a pair and feel they help.

[@docjenfit]

I have not yet! I'll have to check them out!

[@Jenjenn0710]

Would toe socks give them the stretch needed? Probably not?

[@ericcsaba8779]

@ They help. Not a cure. Happy Feet are the brand name.

[@kalliopialexiadou8999]

Thank you very much 🙏🙂

[@docjenfit]

Glad it was helpful for you!

[@kpvTX88]

thanks, I’ve been dealing with some soreness and stiffness in that area lately. I will give this a try for about a week and see if it helps any..

[@docjenfit]

Hope it helps!

[@laurelhermes]

Thank you! Great video! Love these more proactive treatment options. How do I not give up activities that require direct pressure on the ball of the foot? I can't figure/find out how to modify or strengthen to keep form. Do I just have to give up doing these activities with proper ball of foot form or is there hope of strengthening my foot to allow for continuing?

[@docjenfit]

So happy you liked it! There is always hope! In the interim, you could always try finding footwear that gives more cushion or support during these specific exercises. Then as you continue to strengthen and mobilize the foot and toes, maybe you will notice you don't need the cushion as much. It is definitely a journey and takes consistency!

[@MargaretJanssen]

Do you have a video for pst bunion surgery. My joint where the bunion was fixed over a year ago and I still have not gained full ROM. I also developed Morton’s neuroma after having the surgery. I did go to PT. She helped with my ankle strength and ROM but did little to help the big toe ROM.

[@docjenfit]

Here's a video I have for toe mobility for bunions. It isn't specific for post surgery, but you could definitely try it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gILQpYiCed2Ad6M We also have an amazing Barefoot Mini Course that is all about foot, toe, and ankle health. It would be amazing to help you start to work on any restrictions you might have in your feet: jen.health/barefoot You could also take an extra discount with code OPTIMAL10

[@summerm9963]

The discount code doednt work, any other suggestions on a code?

[@docjenfit]

So sorry! The code is actually OPTIMAL and gets you a special 15% discount! It may have been written wrong in the caption. Let us know if that works!

[@kimberleycobb2483]

What do think about the thin foot sole barefoot shoes with room for each toe? Like grounded footwear brand.

[@docjenfit]

We love using barefoot shoes to help build natural mobility and strength in the foot. It is just a matter of progressively transitioning into them and using foot exercises as well in order to help build the foot up. We use Vivobarefoot shoes and you could get an extra 25% discount on them using code DOCJEN25! bit.ly/3cDHcAx

[@diw885]

I would like to know to

[@dazzlingpumppouches]

Thank you so much! I had a knee replacement a few months ago and since then have had to wear shoes constantly on the non surgical side. Everything has been affected. I usually wear Fitflops all the time and worked well but since surgery have had to wear sneakers which I hate

[@docjenfit]

Thank you for watching these. I hope your pain continues to improve!

[@PhotoWix]

Very helpful foot exercises for neuroma - very easy. Thank you!

You're so welcome! I'm glad you liked them!

Can one come to know on oneself having Morton's Neuroma? I mean by the pain location?

[@docjenfit]

Here's a podcast episode we did with some info on Morton's Neuroma!

On Christmas my 2nd toe started going numb. By thr time I woke up, I couldn't feel it at all, and I thought it was broken.

[@docjenfit]

Definitely something that can happen with MN!

[@elaina333]

Mine is painful, and I need steroid injections. My podiatrist wants to remove the nerve. Can this be treated without surgery?

[@docjenfit]

Unfortunately, we are unable to comment on surgical recommendations but there are generally things we can do to help our symptoms!

[@kelcp330]

I have the same problem like you, I have 2 neuromas, and after 4 injections the doctor said that I need a surgery. Actually I don’t want surgery, and I’ve started to search videos like this to do some exercises to decrease the pain, it doesn’t fix the problem but it helps a lot, and of course the shoes that you use is really important, you have to use a wide shoes, avoid tight shoes. Also, I bought a set of orthopedic insole, so the shoes plus the insole and exercises and I can postpone the surgery, of course sometimes I feel pain but not like before, I feel like 30% pain.

[@cubehire3653]

I had a an ultrasound guided cortisone injection that helped a lot for almost a year. Don't get a cortisone injection in a doctors office without ultrasound. I was told by this doctor and a podiatrist I trust no matter what another doctor tells you not have surgery Radiofrequency ablation surgery. It can go very wrong. I am going to try these rubber sock things I saw in this video as there is less risk. Good luck!

[@cubehire3653]

@@kelcp330 Avoid surgery is you can is my advice. Good luck.

[@Knowledge-b6o]

@@kelcp330TRY TO AVOID THAT SURGERY!!! You may regret it. I’ve read a lot about it, and many say the pain is much worse afterwards!!! And, I’ve read they grow back!! Please reconsider surgery!!

stretching my calves with worship music is what works for me but also i need to get wide toe shoes and walk less

[@docjenfit]

Love that! I bet the worship music really helps you relax into the stretch!

[@booboojones2590]

I’m suffering with MN and am getting cortisone shots ( they don’t seem to be helping ). I also wear inserts for my high arches in my shoes. My question is this … because my gait has changed I’m felling discomfort not only in my feet but also now in my Achilles tendons and knees. Is this common and what would you recommend? Thx so much …

[@docjenfit]

So sorry you are experiencing this. Unfortunately I can't give specific advice based on not being able to assess you in person. However, we have another longer form video on MN that offers more explanation and pointers on what to explore: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKbdepeYq5aBh6s We also have an amazing Barefoot Mini Course that helps you go through a full foot/toe/ankle self assessment and gives exercises to work on your restrictions. You can even get a nice special discount on that using code OPTIMAL20 at checkout: jen.health/barefoot
