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.
