Nerve Pain

Nerve Pain in the Foot and Ankle

Diagnosis and Relief for Burning, Tingling, and Numbness

Foot and ankle nerve pain can feel like burning, tingling, electric shocks, or numbness. Common causes include tarsal tunnel syndrome, Morton’s neuroma, nerve irritation from biomechanics, and systemic conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disease, or vitamin deficiencies. Early evaluation helps protect sensation, balance, and skin health.

Your visit includes a detailed history, sensory and strength testing, and assessment of footwear and gait. When helpful, we use imaging or coordinate electrodiagnostic studies to pinpoint the source, and we screen for contributing medical factors. Identifying whether the problem is a compressed nerve, an inflamed interdigital nerve, or a more generalized neuropathy guides the plan.



Treatment is tailored to your diagnosis and goals. Options may include footwear changes, custom orthotics or metatarsal pads, activity modification, targeted stretching and nerve gliding, topical therapies, and anti-inflammatory care. For persistent pain, we may use ultrasound-guided injections, radiofrequency or shockwave in select cases, or discuss surgical decompression or neuroma procedures when appropriate. We also provide prevention strategies such as glucose control, skin protection, and fall-risk reduction so you can move with comfort and confidence.
