Morton's Neuroma Treatment in Bedford, Northampton & Milton Keynes
A prescribing clinician-led, two-stage diagnostic and treatment approach for Morton's neuroma in Bedford, Northampton & Milton Keynes — because no treatment should proceed without a confirmed diagnosis.
Welcoming patients from Bedfordshire, Northampton, Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.
What is Morton's neuroma?
Morton's neuroma is a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes — most commonly between the third and fourth toes. It can cause burning, tingling, or sharp pain in the ball of the foot, often described as feeling like standing on a pebble.
Many patients arrive uncertain about their diagnosis. They may have been told they “might” have a neuroma, or have had inconclusive imaging. Our approach is designed specifically for this uncertainty — we confirm before we treat.

Morton's neuroma (two-stage approach)
An initial consultation is required. The two-stage approach ensures you only proceed to treatment once the diagnosis is confirmed.
Our two-stage clinical approach
Rather than proceeding straight to treatment, we use a diagnostic-first approach that confirms the neuroma as the source of your pain before any therapeutic intervention.
Diagnostic local anaesthetic injection
Ultrasound is used to guide the needle precisely onto the suspected nerve. A small, precise volume of local anaesthetic is then injected directly at that location. If this completely abolishes your pain, the nerve is confirmed as the source — giving both you and the clinician confidence to proceed. If pain persists, the primary cause is mechanical and the neuroma is not the driver.
- Confirms the nerve as the pain source before any treatment
- Ultrasound-guided for precise needle placement onto the nerve
- Local anaesthetic only — the response confirms or rules out the nerve as pain generator
- Results assessed on the same day
Ultrasound-guided steroid injection
If the diagnostic injection confirms the neuroma as the pain source, a targeted steroid injection is delivered to reduce inflammation and provide longer-term relief.
- Only proceeds after positive diagnostic result
- Targeted anti-inflammatory treatment
- Ultrasound guided delivery
- Evidence-based therapeutic approach
How we assess your condition
Clinical diagnosis
Physical examination and symptom history to understand the location, nature, and duration of your foot pain.
Previous imaging
MRI, ultrasound, or X-ray reports are reviewed to understand any prior findings and inform the assessment.
Ultrasound-guided diagnostic local anaesthetic injection
Ultrasound guides the needle precisely onto the nerve, and a small volume of local anaesthetic is injected. If pain is completely abolished, the nerve is confirmed as the pain source. If pain persists, the primary cause is mechanical. Any subsequent therapeutic injection is also delivered under real-time ultrasound guidance for precision.
