Contact UsWhat is neuropathy and foot pain?
Neuropathy describes nerve damage throughout the body's extremities (the hands, arms, and feet). If a patient experiences neuropathy, they might notice bouts of slight to severe pain that feels like a prickling or tingling sensation, in addition to burning or sharp pain. Common causes of foot pain and neuropathy are diabetes, traumatic injuries, infections, inflammation, autoimmune disease, and chemical exposure (including chemotherapy). It generally starts with pain in the toes and slowly spreads to other areas of the foot or leg. If you're experiencing neuropathy in any part of your arms, legs, or feet, our team at New Life Health can help.

New Life Health Reviews
I saw an ad for New Life Medical Center when I was researching causes for foot pain. I started treatment for neuropathy and I’m halfway through my treatment plan. It’s amazing how much better I feel already!
I was really looking for someone that could help me with my balance. I was tired of stumbling and falling. I seen new on Facebook and gave them a call and the rest is kind of history. I would say about fifty percent. All of their staff are the most caring people my wife and I have ever been around. Not only am I getting better but I am having fun doing it.
very nice staff and very helpful and very professional

About UsNeuropathy and Foot Pain FAQs
How does neuropathy impact balance and gait in patients with foot pain?
Neuropathy, especially in the feet, can lead to a loss of sensation, which in turn affects balance and gait. The nerves that signal pressure and positioning in the feet may become less responsive, making it difficult to know exactly where your feet are placed when walking or standing. This can result in instability, an increased risk of falls, and an abnormal walking pattern as the body tries to compensate for the lack of feedback from the feet. Over time, this altered gait may cause additional discomfort or musculoskeletal issues.
Why is early diagnosis important for managing neuropathy-related foot pain?
Early diagnosis is crucial because neuropathy can worsen over time if left untreated. Addressing neuropathy in its initial stages can prevent further nerve damage, help manage pain more effectively and improve the overall quality of life. Early intervention may include strategies to slow down the progression of neuropathy, manage blood sugar levels (in diabetic neuropathy), or correct vitamin deficiencies, which could reduce the severity of symptoms and the risk of complications like ulcers or infections in the feet.
Is neuropathy-related foot pain more severe at night?
Yes, neuropathy-related foot pain often becomes more intense at night. Several factors contribute to this, including the body's natural decrease in activity and circulation during sleep, which can heighten nerve pain sensations. Additionally, without the distractions of daily activities, individuals tend to focus more on their discomfort, making it seem more pronounced. The lying-down position may also affect circulation in some individuals, which can worsen the tingling, burning, or numbness associated with neuropathy.
