Morton’s Neuromas are painful. They are caused by a condition that causes the nerve to swell. It could be tension on the nerve from a ligament (the most common cause). Whatever it is it causes a disease of the nerve. Now there are many treatments for Morton’s Neuroma. Injections and surgery tend to take care of the issue. I highly recommend you see a Podiatrist to have these treatments performed. Vitamins can help with the discomfort, but they will not cure your condition. The vitamins must be used with an additive effect to help treat the neuroma.
What do you look for in vitamins for treating a Morton’s Neuroma? You want a vitamin that will help reduce the injury to the nerve. But more importantly you want a nerve that will focus on the peripheral nerves more than the central nerves since the Morton’s Neuroma is a peripheral nerve. Below I have listed what I believe are the best vitamins for Morton’s Neuroma:
Metagenics Neurosol– Probably my favorite vitamin for the treatment of Morton’s Neuroma. Remember what I said about peripheral nerve; this vitamin was specifically developed with peripheral nerves in mind. It does this by using gamma linolinic acid which directly provides nutrients to the peripheral nerves.
Carlson’s Carnatine-Carnatine is a nutrient that is directly responsible for peripheral nerve function, making it ideal to suppliment in the treatment of Morton’s Neuroma.
