Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged, often leading to weakness, numbness, and pain, particularly in the hands and feet. Common causes include diabetes, infections, injuries, and certain medications. Neuropathy in the feet can make simple activities such as walking difficult and uncomfortable, but early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further nerve damage.

Symptoms of Neuropathy in the Feet

Foot neuropathy symptoms can vary, but may include:

  • Numbness or Tingling in the Toes or Feet
  • Burning Sensations or Sharp Pains
  • Sensitivity to Touch
  • Muscle Weakness or Difficulty Balancing
  • Loss of Coordination

If you experience any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek professional podiatric care to address the root cause and avoid further complications.
