Numbness in feet can be occasional, momentary and short-lived in many cases eg, that arise simply from wearing shoes that are too tight, sitting on the feet or sitting cross legs for too long. While persistent and progressive numbness can arise from a number of medical conditions, it is usually the result of damage, irritation or compression of a nerve that supplies the feet. It can also result from conditions that affect the blood vessels supplying blood to the foot. Homeopathic medicines for numbness in feet help treat the condition from the root for long-term relief.
While the main cause of numbness in feet and toes is diabetic neuropathy, other reasons include herniated disc, sciatica, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury/foot injury, peripheral arterial disease, alcoholism, Guillain-barre syndrome, vasculitis, Morton’s neuroma, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and frostbite.
Symptoms of Numbness in Feet
There is little to no sensation in the feet in case of numbness. Some other symptoms that may accompany numbness are tingling, burning, crawling, prickling or pins-needles sensation in the feet and toes. In some cases, there may be a feeling of weakness in the feet. This also makes it difficult to walk because the person may be unable to properly position the foot on the ground.
