NEUROPATHY
(PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY, DIABETIC NEUROPATHY)
Do your feet feel numb, do they tingle, are they burning? Are you experiencing shooting pains, a loss of balance or the feeling that your sock is rolled up under your toes? If so, you may have peripheral neuropathy.
There are over 100 known causes of peripheral neuropathy and you may be especially prone to developing this condition if you are a diabetic.
At Grand Central Podiatry, we can perform a simple skin biopsy in which we will determine the concentration of small nerve fibers in your lower extremity. This allows us to diagnose and effectively treat your condition.
Treatment for peripheral neuropathy includes nutritional supplements, prescription medications, injection therapy and in some cases surgical procedures to release swollen and compressed nerves. So, if you're experiencing any of these symptoms or have been diagnosed with diabetes, it is essential that you make an appointment to see us at Grand Central Foot Care as soon as possible
NEUROMAS
ARE YOU EXPERIENCING NUMBNESS OR TINGLING INTO THE TOES?
DO YOU FEEL A BURNING SENSATION ON THE BALL OF YOUR FOOT OR DO YOU HAVE THE FEELING THAT YOUR SOCK IS WRINKLED?
IF SO, YOU MAY HAVE A 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 trauma to the feet.
If you think you have a neuroma, schedule an appointment today with our practice, Grand Central Foot Care, to discuss and implement a comprehensive treatment plan.
