What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that occurs when the nerves in the feet become damaged or do not function properly. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or loss of feeling in the feet.
Symptoms often start gradually and may worsen over time, especially if the underlying cause is not addressed.
What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy?
Neuropathy can develop from a variety of underlying conditions. The most common cause is diabetes, but it can also be related to other medical or lifestyle factors.
Common causes include:
- Diabetes (diabetic neuropathy)
- Poor circulation
- Nerve compression or injury
- Vitamin deficiencies
- Chronic alcohol use
- Certain medications or medical conditions
Why Peripheral Neuropathy Becomes a Problem
When nerve damage progresses, symptoms can interfere with daily life and increase the risk of injury because patients may not feel cuts, pressure, or trauma to the feet.
If left untreated, neuropathy may lead to:
- Chronic burning or tingling pain
- Loss of protective sensation in the feet
- Increased risk of wounds or ulcers
- Balance issues and instability
- Difficulty walking comfortably

How We Treat Peripheral Neuropathy
Treatment for peripheral neuropathy focuses on identifying the underlying cause, managing symptoms, protecting foot health, and improving your overall quality of life. Dr. Edward Sharrer develops a personalized treatment plan based on your symptoms, medical history, and individual needs.
Depending on your condition, treatment may include:
- Comprehensive Neuropathy Care: A thorough evaluation helps identify contributing factors and develop a treatment approach focused on reducing discomfort and protecting nerve health.
- Circulation and Nerve Supportive Therapies: Advanced non-surgical treatments may be used to support circulation, improve comfort, and help manage symptoms associated with nerve irritation.
- Footwear Recommendations and Protection: Proper footwear and daily foot care strategies can help reduce pressure, prevent injuries, and protect areas with reduced sensation.
- Medical Management and Lifestyle Support: Depending on the cause of neuropathy, recommendations may include nutritional support, activity modifications, and strategies to help manage symptoms and maintain mobility.
- Diabetic Foot Care and Monitoring: For patients with diabetes-related neuropathy, regular foot evaluations and preventive care are important for reducing the risk of complications.
- Ongoing Support and Management: Neuropathy often requires continued care to monitor changes, manage symptoms, and maintain healthy feet over time.
Our goal is to help reduce neuropathy symptoms, protect your feet, and improve your ability to stay active and comfortable.
