Neuropathy Pain Management
Family Foot Centers can provide you with a personalized neuropathy/nerve pain treatment plan
There are over 100 known causes of neuropathy and you may be especially prone to developing this condition if you are a diabetic. Our Foot Doctors 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.
SYMPTOMS: 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? You may have neuropathy.
TREATMENT: 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 any of these symptoms or have been diagnosed with diabetes. Get help now at Family Foot Centers and learn all your treatment options.
Morton’s 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.
SYMPTOMS: A neuroma may cause 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: Help for neuromas typically includes padding, custom orthotics, oral anti-inflammatory medication, cortizone injections or alcohol sclerosing therapy which usually eliminates the need for surgery. If these conservative treatments do not relieve the symptoms, surgical excision may be performed. Get in touch with Family Foot Centers for a complete evaluation.
