Morton’s neuroma treatment in Ballymena

Morton’s neuroma can cause burning, tingling, or sharp pain in the forefoot, often made worse by tight shoes and walking. At Get In Step Podiatry, we believe the most effective care starts with accurate assessment, identifying why the nerve is being irritated and what biomechanics may be driving the problem.

Led by HCPC registered chiropodist Dr. Elaine Hoey, our Ballymena clinic specialises in Chiropody, Gait and Postural Analysis, orthotics, sports injuries and lower limb and foot pain. Instead of treating symptoms alone, Elaine applies a clinical, biomechanics-led approach to understand your gait, foot function, and pressure patterns. This helps us to target the root cause and create a plan designed around your comfort and everyday activity.

What you can expect begins with a thorough consultation. You will be asked about your pain pattern, footwear, activity levels, and any previous treatments. Elaine will then carry out an examination and gait assessment to look for contributing factors such as forefoot overload, altered weight distribution, and stance mechanics. From there, we discuss appropriate options, which may include footwear advice, offloading strategies, and custom orthotic support where needed to reduce pressure on the affected area.

Clinical benefits (what you should expect):

• Accurate assessment of Morton’s neuroma symptoms and likely mechanical causes
