Welcome to the Center for Foot Care, where we specialize in providing effective treatment for neuropathy. Neuropathy is a disorder that affects the network of nerves, known as the peripheral nerves.. Our team of experts understands the importance of the peripheral nervous system in relaying signals or information from the central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord) to the rest of your body, and vice versa.
Neuropathy develops when damage occurs to the peripheral nerves, leading to a loss of perception of certain touch-related information such as injury, warmth, pressure, and more. Individuals suffering from peripheral neuropathy often experience painful numbness or tingling in their extremities, including their arms, legs, hands, and feet.
