Few things are scarier than suddenly feeling numbness in your feet or toes—and not knowing what to do about it.
For many people, those sensations don’t stop there. Over time, numbness, burning pain, or tingling may spread into the hands, legs, or arms, often leading to anxiety and frustration.
If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing diabetic neuropathy.
What is Diabetic Neuropathy?
Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by long-term high blood sugar levels. Over time, excess glucose can injure both nerves and the small blood vessels that supply them.
This damage disrupts communication between your body and brain, affecting things like touch, balance, digestion, blood pressure—and even heart rate.
Common Symptoms Include:
😫 Numbness or tingling in feet and hands
😣 Sharp, burning, or stabbing pain
Loss of balance and coordination
🤕 Muscle weakness or cramping
😖 Digestive issues (bloating, constipation, diarrhea)
😩 Feeling like you’re wearing socks or gloves when you’re not
😵💫 Bladder dysfunction
😵 Excessive or reduced sweating
Dizziness when standing
These symptoms often start subtly and worsen over time if left untreated. In severe cases, they can lead to ulcers, infections, or permanent mobility issues.
Is There Relief?
Yes. In this short video, our Medical Director, Dr. Moshiri, introduces an innovative treatment called Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS).
Widely recognized as one of modern medicine’s most significant advancements, SCS has the potential to provide life-changing relief for those suffering from diabetic neuropathy.
