Numbness in feet can be occasional, momentary, and short-lived in many cases, like the one that arises simply from tight-fitted shoes, sitting on the haunches or sitting cross-legged for too long. However, persistent numbness can arise from many medical conditions. There is little or no sensation in the feet in case of numbness. Some other symptoms that may accompany numbness are tingling, burning, crawling, prickling or pin-needles sensation in the feet and toes. In some cases, there may be a feeling of weakness in the feet. It becomes difficult for a person to walk because he/she may be unable to properly position the foot on the ground.
Homeopathic medicines are highly effective in treating numbness in feet. These medicines treat the root cause, apart from managing the attending signs and symptoms. Homeopathic medicines for numbness in feet offers long-term relief rather than temporary symptom management.
Homeopathy treats numbness of feet by fixing its root cause that varies from case to case. After giving initial relief in numbness, it works to treat the underlying cause in a natural way by boosting the self-healing mechanism in the body that can help to overcome health issues naturally. An effective homeopathic treatment with proper guidance from a homeopath can bring great cures. The amount of relief varies from case to case based upon the duration and intensity of the complaint.
Homeopathy follows an individualized approach to treat numbness in feet. This means it prescribes medicines considering the characteristic symptoms in every individual case. This well selected medicine works wonderfully to produce great cure. It is advised to consult a homeopathic doctor for proper homeopathic prescription as it varies from case to case and also the potency and dosage of medicine differs from person to person. Only a homeopathic doctor can prescribe the correct medicine after detailed case evaluation.
Homeopathy uses medicines prepared from naturally occurring substances to treat numbness in feet. They do not contain harmful chemicals, hence are very safe to use with no side effects, and are non-habit forming.

Causes of Numbness in Feet
Numbness of feet is usually the result of damage, irritation or compression of a nerve that reaches the feet. The main cause of numbness in feet and toes is diabetic neuropathy. It can also result from conditions that affect the blood vessels supplying blood to the foot. While other reasons include herniated disc (pushing of the soft center of the intervertebral disc out through its tough exterior part), sciatica (pain traveling along the path of the sciatic nerve from the lower back down the leg), and multiple sclerosis (autoimmune disorder causing damage of cover of nerve cells). Other causes may be a spinal cord injury/foot injury, peripheral arterial disease (a condition resulting from reduced blood flow to legs due to narrowing or blockage of arteries) and alcoholism. It may also be caused due to Guillain-barre syndrome (an autoimmune disorder resulting in weakness, tingling, numbness mostly starting in feet and legs and eventually spreading upwards), vasculitis (inflamed blood vessels), tarsal tunnel syndrome (condition arising from compression of tibial nerve in foot) and frostbite (skin damage from extreme cold).

Dr Sharma
I am 83 and have practiced Chiropractic and Naturopathy for 40 years before i retired 20 years ago, my problem for the last two years is from the knee down with numbness, tingling, crawling sensations, but above all stiffening of ankles when sitting, driving, or after lying down for a while, also at times waking in the morning, At this point apart from this condition and severe hearing loss i consider myself fit and healthy,(I am still an ardent Snow Skier)
unfortunately i have a long history of injuries, at age 20 a motor cycle accident at 120 mph resulted in being paralised from the waist down two yrs later, the then Hospital treatment was full body plaster and traction for eight month, i declined and thought out a chiropractor my mother trained with, resulting in my training, Plus two other major accidents, one involving body damage at T5-6 the other T12 SP FRACTURE plus several cervicle injuries. Also i have suffered from cramping all my life, needles to say with my back ground i have tried every mode of treatment and mostly manage to keep it under control. At the moment i live in Belize and one of my neighbours with severe Spinal Stenosis that i helped to rehabilitate was also taking HECLA LAVA 30c and calc flour to dissolve bone build up for three month with good results. Consequently given my spinal injuries i have not been without pain in Lumbar Sacral area at times, I hope you can make some sense of all this and are able to advise me.
look forward to your response.
