How do you perform the Morton's Neuroma foot squeeze test?

Asked 3 years ago

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone can explain how to perform the Morton's Neuroma foot squeeze test? I've been experiencing some pain in the ball of my foot and I've read that this test can help determine if it's a neuroma. I want to try it out at home before seeing a doctor. Can someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to do it correctly? Thank you in advance for your help!

To perform Morton's Neuroma, support the foot in relaxed position, grasp the foot at the metatarsal heads and squeeze to compress  them together. If you feel the pain the test is positive, or if there is a “click” sound, known as Mulder’s click.
