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).

Hello, Dr. Sharma,
I have been suffering with numbness, tingling and pain in my feet for about 2 yrs now. My pain had gotten so bad that I could not even have the bed sheets touch my toes. I have been to numerous doctors regarding my problem.. I am now taking 300 mg. of oxcarbazapine in the am and pm daily. Although the meds have made my problem bearable, it does have side effects, mainly fatigue, loss of balance and minor blurriness. Please note that I am not diabetic. At one time I was pre-diabeti, but no longer. I have had 3 mris, an mra, Sse tests on the upper and lower parts of my body. The final diagnosis says that I have a pinched nerve in my neck, a pinched nerve in my lower back, carpal tunnel in both hands and tarsal tunnel I both ankles. It should be noted that I had carpal tunnel surgery in my right hand about 20 yrs. ago. I had back surgery almost 2yrs. ago for L4 and L5 compression. I do not have any pain in my wrists or my ankles. My numbness is in the balls of my feet and my toes. I am at a loss as what to do to resolve my problem. Foot and ankle doctor prescribed 7.5 mg of mobic. He advised that surgery on the tarsal tunnels most likely will not resolve this problem. I do not want to go through another back surgery.
What do you suggest?
