Morton's Neuroma Treatment in Billings, MT
Direct evaluation by a board-certified foot and ankle specialist. Injection therapy and surgical excision when needed.
(406) 256-0077Accurate Diagnosis First
Forefoot pain has more than one cause. Morton's neuroma, capsulitis, stress fractures, metatarsalgia, and other conditions can all present similarly, and treating the wrong one wastes time and money. That is why every neuroma evaluation starts with a direct, in-person examination by a board-certified foot and ankle specialist or general practitioner.
Our surgeons perform neuroma excision as a routine outpatient procedure at Northern Rocky Surgery Center, but surgery is never the first step. The majority of neuromas respond to conservative and injection-based treatment, and we have the experience to know when that is likely to work and when it is not.
When surgery is the right path, post-op recovery is coordinated with our in-house physical therapy team, who work under the same roof as our surgeons every day. Your PT already knows our surgical protocols and communicates directly with your surgeon. Pain-free is not healed. Healed is not strong. We stay with you through the whole arc of recovery.
Injection Therapy and Surgical Options
Conservative Care First
We start with the least invasive effective treatment. The right approach depends on what you actually have, which is why we examine you first. Not every neuroma needs surgery, and we won't push it when it's not needed.

You leave with a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan matched to your case. We walk you through the conservative options first, and only discuss surgery when it is genuinely indicated. No pressure, no upselling.
