Morton’s Neuroma
What causes forefoot pain
Morton’s Neuroma is a benign growth on the nerves typically between the third and fourth toes but can occur between other toes. It is characterised by a sharp pain in the forefoot and sometimes numbness and tingling in the toes. Treatment typically involves footwear modification, foot mobilisation therapy and orthotic therapy.
In severe cases, steroid injections or surgery may be needed. If you’re concerned about Morton’s Neuroma, or you’re suffering from sharp foot pain, Doubleview Podiatry can help reduce those concerns. Contact us today to talk about how we can help you get pain free feet.

Forefoot pain

How to Fix Flat Feet?
In most cases, flat feet do not lead to issues in adults. But for some people, flat feet cause foot, leg, and low back pain, limiting their ability to stand, walk, run, or perform daily activities.
Tight tendons can cause flat feet. Another is bony deformities in the foot from birth or injury. Obesity can contribute to flat feet deformity and issues.

Orthotics Guarantee
We believe in the Doubleview Podiatry Zebris Orthotic Program and from our experience and clinical assessments, we feel that individual prescription orthotics are the best course of action for you at this time and will give the best clinical results. However, we appreciate that the purchase of orthotics is a significant investment, so we want to make this decision as easy as possible by taking a large part of the risk ourselves – through our unique Orthotic Guarantee.
If in the first 60 days after receiving your orthotics, you do not feel that the orthotics have significantly helped your current condition, or you are at all unhappy with the product, we will:
- Make the necessary adjustments to your devices to ensure you are 100% satisfied. These adjustments will be provided at no cost to you. (Note: the first orthotic review is included in the cost of the orthotics.)
- If these adjustments do not correct the issue or you are just not happy with the devices, we will give you a full refund of the cost of the orthotics.
Children
Some children have a tendency to in-toe or out-toe or have other types of developmental issues including growing pains or frequent tripping/falling. Custom foot orthotics can often be part of the solution both short and long term, depending on the situation.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of conditions that custom foot orthotics can help. If you are wondering if custom foot orthotics are for you we would encourage you to make an appointment with our doctor for an evaluation and frank discussion about the potential benefits.

Daniel Ryan
Since working in podiatry, I have routinely witnessed the benefits that can be achieved through custom orthotic prescription. By combining video footage, pressure analysis, and biomechanical assessment, I have had fantastic results when tailoring customised orthotics as a part of clients rehabilitation programs. Orthotics play a pivotal role in comprehensive treatment programs, helping to adjust biomechanical deficiencies, reduce pain and return to activity. Throughout my life, I have also used orthotics to overcome several of my own foot and lower limb injuries, so understand things from a patient’s perspective.
