As podiatrists, we are frequently asked the question above.  The answer is not always cut and dry.  I have included several of the most common causes of burning and numbness in the list below:

  • Poor circulation or Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
  • Back Problems - Degenerative Disc Disease or Sciatica
  • Peripheral Neuropathy
  • Diabetes Mellitus
  • Localized nerve entrapment
  • Inflammatory conditions

It is imperative to speak with a medical professional if you are experiencing pins and needles, burning, tingling or numbness, as this may be a sign of underlying disease.

Please call Foot Care Centers as 856-691-2152 to make a preferred appointment.
