A Kid-Friendly Foot Specialist for Your Family

Neuroma

We diagnose and treat pinched nerves in the feet at the Foot & Ankle Center of Arizona. Neuromas, or pinched nerves, can cause pain and discomfort that can prevent you from walking or doing daily activities. Our team has extensive knowledge of the complexities surrounding neuromas; This way we are able to provide treatment plans tailored to your needs.

Comprehensive Evaluation

We administer a complete assessment in order to properly diagnose your neuroma. Dr. Kris DiNucci and our experienced medical team will look at your medical record, perform an extensive physical examination and suggest X-rays or MRI scans for assessing the severity of the condition as additional diagnostic imaging tests if necessary.

Individualized Treatment Plans

After the diagnosis, we will make a customized treatment plan that suits your specific needs and wants. Our aim is to give relief for pain, bring back normal function and stop the further development of neuroma. Treatment methods can be:

1. Nonoperative Treatments: Conservative procedures take precedence with us by using such measures as shoe changes, off-loading the painful area, rest, and activity alterations. These non-surgical techniques are meant to relieve pressure on the compressed nerve and alleviate symptoms.
2. Medication:Antiinflammatories may be recommended in some situations whether over-the-counter or prescription to address the pain and inflammation associated with neuromas after thoroughly assessing your medical history and general physical condition; our group will decide what kind of therapy is appropriate for you.
3. Injections: Corticosteroid injections can be placed into the affected area directly so as to ease temporary pain relief while minimizing inflammation; this is a low-risk procedure that can be performed at our clinic and often brings considerable benefits in terms of symptom reduction among patients suffering from neuromas.
4. Surgical Operation: If conservative treatments do not provide relief or if the neuroma is severe, one may have to go through surgery. Dr. Kris DiNucci has adeptness in complex surgical methods of treating neuromas such as decompressing the nerve or removing the nerve.
