Many people assume burning, tingling, numbness, or “pins and needles” in the feet are simply part of getting older — but these symptoms may actually be signs of peripheral neuropathy.
Neuropathy occurs when nerves become damaged or irritated, often due to diabetes, back problems, vitamin deficiencies, poor circulation, chemotherapy, or chronic inflammation. Early symptoms commonly begin in the feet and may gradually worsen over time if left untreated.
Patients often describe:
- Burning sensations
- Electric shock feelings
- Numbness
- Pain at night
- Balance problems
- Feeling like socks are bunched up under the feet
Ignoring neuropathy can increase the risk of falls, wounds, infections, and long-term nerve damage.
At Sunshine Ankle & Foot Experts, we perform comprehensive evaluations to determine the cause of nerve symptoms and develop personalized treatment plans. Depending on the condition, treatment may include lifestyle modification, custom orthotics, vitamin support, medications, regenerative therapies, or advanced laser therapy designed to stimulate circulation and nerve healing.
The earlier neuropathy is identified, the better the chances of slowing progression and improving quality of life.
If you are experiencing burning, tingling, or numbness in your feet, don’t ignore the warning signs.
