Neuropathy is a condition that leads to damage to the nerves in the body. Our doctors will assess your condition and provide you with quality foot and ankle treatment for neuropathy.
If you have any concerns that you may be experiencing nerve loss in your feet, consult with one of our podiatrists from Parkwood Podiatry. Neuropathy can be a potentially serious condition, especially if it is left undiagnosed. If you have diabetes, a podiatrist can help you maintain the health of your feet. These wounds tend to heal poorly and may become infected.
Diabetic neuropathy can be dangerous and lead to serious complications, as the loss of sensation that it causes in the feet can make foot wounds more likely to form. The symptoms of diabetic neuropathy include a “pins and needles” sensation in the feet, sensitivity to touch or a loss of touch, pain, numbness, tingling, burning, difficulties with coordination while walking, and muscle weakness. Neuropathy tends to develop slowly, sometimes over several decades, so people with diabetes are urged to closely monitor their foot health. Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes that causes nerve damage in the hands and feet.
