A cortisone injection is a frequent Morton’s neuroma treatment. Cortisone is a steroid that is administered around the irritated nerve to act as an anti-inflammatory. This effectively controls inflammation and relieves or eliminates discomfort. While a cortisone injection can relieve the discomfort of inflammation, it does not cure the neuroma.
Where a cortisone injection relieves your inflammation and pain, a custom orthotic can help balance your foot, support the metatarsal arch, and keep pressure off the nerve. Long-term neuroma treatment is effective when a cortisone injection is combined with mechanical management.
