Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when your peripheral nervous system, which transmits information from your brain and spinal cord to your arms and legs, is damaged. When this happens in your feet, your lower extremities may not receive critical messages, such as sensations of cold or the need to contract muscles for movement. Individuals with peripheral neuropathy often describe a tingling, burning, or stabbing pain in their feet. Fortunately, there are various treatment options available that can provide relief from the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.
