Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathy in the feet causes a variety of side effects, including burning, achiness and redness. This can be caused by diabetes, having dermatitis, Athlete’s feet or overexertion without wearing the proper footwear. Here at our podiatry office, we offer burning and neuropathic pain treatments in the form of diabetic foot care, necessary surgical procedures, treating infections and treating the exact cause of the burning pain. Physical therapy and rehabilitation treatments are highly effective with this type of foot problem.


Patients who experience the following symptoms are encouraged to consider podiatry care for their burning foot pain:



  • Diabetes patients with any type of foot pain.

  • Burning pain in one or both feet.

  • Foot pain severe enough to affect sleep.

  • Patients who want to find alternatives for their foot pain.

  • Being unsteady while walking.

  • Previously having a fall due to the pain in the foot.


Our treatment plans deal with short-term pain relief and long-term solutions. This is why we incorporate physical therapy as part of the treatment for burning and neuropathic pain of the feet.
