Peripheral Neuropathy - Podiatrist in NYC

Despite medical mainstream advice, Neuropathy or more appropriately, Peripheral Neuropathy is more prevalent and more apt to result in ulcers, infections, hospitalizations and amputations than poor circulation. Neuropathy is the result of a metabolic or anatomic abnormality that creates problems in the peripheral nerves. The most common causes are Diabetes, Alcoholism, Medications and Vitamin Deficiencies. The signs of peripheral neuropathy in the feet are numbness, burning, tingling and pins and needles that start in the toes and work their way up the leg as if a stocking. With a lack of feeling, foot problems that would be addressed because of pain like pressure callus, blisters, trauma, arthritis and hot and sharp stimuli are neglected and tern into major problems. In Diabetes, there are five phases of neuropathy that go from pain and strange feelings all the way to total numbness. The most important treatment and prevention for diabetic neuropathy is sugar control and exercise. There are additional medications, supplements and treatments that are secondarily important to try. Podiatry offers diagnosis and treatment plans for neuropathy that include: biopsy, blood tests, supplements, modalities and surgical cures. The earlier the diagnosis is made and treatment is instituted, the less advanced and the more reversed diabetic neuropathy can be, so early consultation is imperative.
