Content: Gauthier's test involves squeezing the metatarsals together and moving them up and down for 30 seconds. This will usually cause pain or it will bring on your other symptoms. Sullivan's sign is positive when you stand and the affected toes spread apart. A Morton's neuroma is usually diagnosed based on the history and physical exam findings, but sometimes other tests such as an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI are needed. 3 ﻿﻿
Treatment
Treatment include non-invasive and invasive approaches: Shoe choice: Wear shoes that are wide and deep in the toe box so they do not put pressure on your toes and metatarsals. Avoid wearing high heels because they cause increased pressure on the ball of your foot (forefoot). Metatarsal pads: These help to lift and separate the metatarsal heads to take the pressure off of the nerve.
