Minimally1
Cryosurgery, is a minimally invasive office-based procedure that requires no stitches and only takes 15 minutes to perform. (gothamfootcare.com)
RISKS OF CRYOSURGERY1
The risks of cryosurgery and podiatric surgery in general, whilst small, are covered in our foot surgery booklet which also describes podiatric surgery qualifications and training. (mortonsneuroma.surgery)
Cryotherapy, also known as cryosurgery or cryoultrasound, actually destroys nerve fibers (not the nerve itself). (heelthatpain.com)
Symptoms3
If the ligaments that attach the phalanx (bone of the toe) to the metatarsal bone are impacted, the resulting inflammation may put pressure on an otherwise healthy nerve and produce neuroma-type symptoms. (wikipedia.org)
Additionally, an intermetatarsal bursitis between the third and fourth metatarsal bones will also give neuroma-type symptoms because it too puts pressure on the nerve. (wikipedia.org)
Though a neuroma is a soft-tissue abnormality and will not be visualized by standard radiographs, the first step in the assessment of forefoot pain is an X-ray to detect the presence of arthritis and exclude stress fractures/reactions and focal bone lesions, which may mimic the symptoms of a neuroma. (wikipedia.org)
Benign1
Soft tissue situations corresponding to plantar fasciitis[4] (jogger's heel) and fibroma (benign excrescence of connective tissue) may be handled with cryosurgery. (bonus-casino-free.com)

And given the low risk of side effects and the lower cost (compared to surgery), cryosurgery shows a lot of potential. (heelthatpain.com)
Painful2
Cryosurgery cyclically shrinks and freezes the neuroma to degenerate the nerve tissue that carries painful impulses to the brain by reducing the conductivity and excitability of that affected nerve. (gothamfootcare.com)

Soft-tissue1
An ultrasound is very good at identifying soft tissue abnormalities, such as neuromas. (onehealthcare.co.uk)
Nerve tissue1
Though the condition is labeled as a neuroma, many sources do not consider it a true tumor, but rather a perineural fibroma (fibrous tissue formation around nerve tissue). (wikipedia.org)
Cryosurgery is done at regular intervals to promote thawing of the tissue and subsequently freezing it to destroy the layer of cells that are not required. (targetwoman.com)
Foot1
If your neuroma is located in a different part of the foot, cryoneuroablation may not be a good option for you. (tohealthyfeet.com)
