Top FAQs for Foot Pain Treatment
1. What causes foot pain and numbness?
Foot pain and numbness are often caused by nerve damage (neuropathy), diabetes, spinal issues, trauma, or arch collapse.
2. Can peripheral neuropathy be treated without medication?
Yes—non-invasive therapies like cold laser, spinal decompression, and lifestyle changes can improve nerve function naturally.
3. How does cold laser therapy help nerve pain?
Cold laser therapy reduces inflammation, boosts circulation, and stimulates the healing of damaged nerves.
4. When should I seek help for foot numbness?
If you experience persistent numbness, tingling, burning, or balance problems, you should seek evaluation immediately.
5. Can poor circulation cause foot pain?
Yes—reduced blood flow can impair nerve health and contribute to pain, numbness, and tissue damage.
6. How long does it take to improve nerve health with treatment?
Many patients begin seeing improvements within a few weeks, but full nerve healing may take longer depending on severity.
7. Can spinal problems cause foot symptoms?
Absolutely. Nerve root compression in the lower spine often leads to numbness, tingling, or pain in the legs and feet.
8. Is balance loss from neuropathy reversible?
Balance often improves as nerve health is restored and strength is rebuilt through targeted therapies.
9. How do I prevent foot neuropathy from worsening?
Early intervention, good nutrition, blood sugar control (if diabetic), and regular movement are key.
10. Will I need surgery for foot neuropathy?
Most cases can be managed successfully with non-surgical treatments focused on restoring nerve function and relieving pressure.
