Numbness in the feet means there is a partial or complete loss of sensation. A person may feel reduced sensitivity to touch, pressure, temperature, or pain.
Persistent numbness should always be evaluated because it may increase the risk of unnoticed injuries. When a person cannot fully feel the feet, cuts, blisters, or pressure sores may develop without being noticed right away.
Diabetes can be one possible cause of numbness because it may affect the nerves over time. Nerve injury may also lead to loss of feeling in the feet.Pain Management
Poor blood circulation may contribute to numbness as well. In some cases, problems involving the spine, such as herniated discs, may affect nerves that travel into the legs and feet.
Multiple sclerosis is a less common possible cause of numbness. Because numbness can be connected to different conditions, ongoing loss of sensation should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
