Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves transmit signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body, including the limbs.

Burning feet is a common symptom associated with peripheral neuropathy. It is characterized by a sensation of heat, tingling, or a burning pain in the feet. This symptom can vary in intensity and extend to the lower legs. Other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can include numbness, weakness, and a pins-and-needles sensation in the affected areas.

Peripheral neuropathy can have various causes, including:

Diabetes: Diabetic neuropathy is a common type of peripheral neuropathy that occurs due to long-term high blood sugar levels damaging the nerves.

Nerve compression: Nerves can be compressed or entrapped by structures such as herniated discs, tumors, or repetitive stress injuries, leading to neuropathic symptoms.

Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in certain vitamins, such as vitamin B12, can contribute to nerve damage and peripheral neuropathy.

Alcohol abuse: Excessive alcohol consumption over time can cause damage to the peripheral nerves, leading to neuropathy.

Autoimmune diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Guillain-Barré syndrome can trigger peripheral neuropathy.

Infections: Certain viral or bacterial infections, such as Lyme disease, shingles (herpes zoster), or HIV/AIDS, can cause nerve damage.

More questions patients ask

What causes burning feet, numbness, and tingling?

The most common causes are: diabetic peripheral neuropathy, vitamin B12 deficiency neuropathy, tarsal tunnel syndrome (nerve compression), small fiber neuropathy, athlete's foot, chronic venous insufficiency, and alcohol-related neuropathy. Each requires different treatment. Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 evaluates burning foot symptoms comprehensively at our Howell and Bloomfield Township Michigan locations.

How is burning feet treated by a podiatrist?

Treatment targets the underlying cause: orthotics and decompression for tarsal tunnel syndrome, B12 supplementation for deficiency neuropathy, blood sugar control for diabetic neuropathy, MLS laser therapy for neuropathic pain relief, and topical treatments (capsaicin, lidocaine). Balance Foot & Ankle at 4330 E Grand River, Howell and 43494 Woodward Ave #208, Bloomfield Township provides cause-directed burning feet treatment.

Is burning feet at night normal or a sign of a problem?

Burning feet at night (nocturnal burning) is common in peripheral neuropathy — symptoms often worsen at night because distractions are absent and there is more awareness of abnormal sensations. It is not 'normal' and should be evaluated. Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 evaluates nocturnal burning feet as a sign of an underlying condition requiring treatment.

Can burning feet be caused by poor circulation?

Yes — both arterial insufficiency (reduced blood flow) and venous insufficiency (pooling) can cause burning sensations in the feet. Arterial burning is often associated with rest pain and pallor; venous burning is associated with heaviness and dependent improvement. Balance Foot & Ankle assesses both arterial and venous contributors to burning foot symptoms.

What home treatments help burning feet?

Helpful home measures include: elevating feet (for venous burning), cool water soaks (temporary relief), avoiding tight footwear, B12-rich foods or supplementation if deficient, and reducing alcohol intake. However, persistent burning feet require professional evaluation. Contact Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 — many causes of burning feet are highly treatable when properly diagnosed.
