Neuropathy Pain Management
Constantouris Foot Care provides you with a personalized neuropathy/nerve pain treatment plan
CAUSES: There are over 100 known causes of neuropathy and you may be especially prone to developing this condition if you are a diabetic. Our Podiatrist 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.
SYMPTOMS: 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? You may have neuropathy.
TREATMENT: 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. Please book an appointment with Constantouris Foot Care to learn all your treatment options.
Morton’s Neuroma
CAUSES: A neuroma is an enlargement of the nerve that provides sensation to the toes. This enlargement can be due to poor foot structure, poorly fitting shoes or trauma to the feet.
SYMPTOMS: A neuroma may cause pain between your toes, swelling between your toes, pain in your forefoot, pain when you put weight on the ball of your foot and numbness or tingling in the ball of your foot
TREATMENT: Help for neuromas typically includes padding, custom orthotics, oral anti-inflammatory medication, cortisone injections or alcohol sclerosing therapy which usually eliminates the need for surgery. If these conservative treatments do not relieve the symptoms, surgical excision may be performed. Get in touch with Constantouris Foot Care for a complete evaluation.
