NEUROPATHY
Let PALM BEACH PODIATRY Help You Enjoy a Mobile Lifestyle With Expert Nerve-Related Foot Care
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. Palm Beach Podiatry 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.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms or have been diagnosed with diabetes then contact Palm Beach Podiatry for a complete evaluation. Our Podiatrist can provide diagnosis and treatment options.
