Tingling in Feet – Frequently Asked Questions
Tingling can be caused by nerve compression, neuropathy, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, poor circulation, or injury to the nerves in your feet or legs.
If tingling is persistent, worsening, occurs with numbness or weakness, or affects your daily activities, you should seek medical evaluation.
Yes. Tingling or “pins and needles” may be an early sign of diabetic neuropathy, a nerve condition caused by high blood sugar levels damaging nerves over time.
Neuropathy often causes tingling, burning, numbness, or electric-like sensations, especially at night or when resting.
A doctor may perform a physical exam, blood tests, nerve conduction studies, or imaging to determine if the issue stems from nerves, circulation, or another source.
Treatments depend on the cause and may include medication, vitamin supplementation, physical therapy, better blood sugar control, or custom orthotics to relieve nerve pressure.
Yes—regular exercise, a healthy diet, avoiding tight shoes, good foot care, and managing underlying conditions like diabetes can help reduce symptoms.
Absolutely. A podiatrist can determine the cause, provide targeted treatment, and help prevent the problem from worsening or turning into permanent nerve damage.
