What Can Cause Tingling in Your Feet? It's Not Just Neuropathy!

To Request an appointment with Dr. Schneider: http://referdrschneider.com Tingling in the feet can occur due to abnormal nerve activity, nerve damage, irritation, or compression. It can also be caused by compressed nerves in the lower back or tarsal tunnel syndrome, where a nerve near the ankle becomes compressed. Additionally, conditions like Raynaud's phenomenon and peripheral neuropathy, often linked to diabetes, autoimmune diseases, infections, or toxin exposure, can lead to foot tingling. The symptoms of tingling in the feet may vary depending on the underlying cause, including tingling in specific foot areas, numbness in the toes, and pain or discomfort in the foot, leg, or lower back. To diagnose the cause of foot tingling, a podiatrist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough medical history, physical examination, muscle and reflex tests, and specialized nerve and imaging tests if necessary. Treatment options for foot tingling depend on the underlying cause. Lifestyle changes, medication, physical therapy, and surgery may be recommended. For compressed nerves in the back, solutions may include wearing wider shoes, toe spacers, special pads, or custom orthotics to alleviate pressure. Raynaud's phenomenon may require keeping the feet warm and avoiding cold and stress. Properly fitted shoes that aren't too tight and overall health management are essential preventive measures. If foot tingling persists or occurs frequently, it's crucial to seek professional evaluation from a podiatrist to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.
