Neuropathy
There are over 100 known neuropathy causes, and you may be especially prone to developing this condition if you are a diabetic. Our Podiatrists specialize in neuropathy in feet treatment and can perform a simple skin biopsy to determine the concentration of small nerve fibers in your lower extremity. It enables us to diagnose and provide effective treatment for your condition.
Symptoms of neuropathy include your foot feeling numb, burning, tingling, or shooting pain. You may have a loss of balance or the feeling that your sock is rolled up under your toes.
Treatment for peripheral neuropathy includes nutritional supplements, prescription medications, injection therapy, and in some cases, surgical procedures to release swollen and compressed nerves.
If you're experiencing symptoms related to neuropathy in feet or have been diagnosed with diabetes, contact Prime Foot and Ankle Specialists for a comprehensive examination.
Neuroma
A neuroma is an enlargement of the nerve that provides sensation to the toes. This enlargement can be due to poor foot structure, poorly fitting shoes, or foot trauma.
Symptoms of a neuroma are pain between your toes, swelling between your toes, pain in your forefoot, pain when you put weight on the ball of your foot, and numbness or tingling in the ball of your foot
Treatment for neuromas typically involves conservative methods such as padding, custom orthotics, oral anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone injections, or alcohol sclerosing therapy.
These are effective options for neuropathy in feet treatment and can often eliminate the need for surgery. However, surgical excision may be recommended if these conservative treatments do not relieve the symptoms.
