Do You Need Neurological or Vascular Foot Testing?
Your feet are more than just what gets you from point A to B—they can also reveal a lot about your overall health. Neurological and vascular issues can affect your feet, leading to symptoms that shouldn’t be ignored. Do any of these sound familiar?
- Numbness or Tingling: Do your feet often feel “pins and needles” or go numb? This could indicate nerve issues that need attention.
- Cold Feet or Poor Circulation: Are your feet constantly cold, or do you notice poor circulation? This may be a sign of vascular problems affecting blood flow.
- Loss of Sensation: Do you have trouble feeling textures or temperatures with your feet? Reduced sensation can point to nerve damage.
- Sores or Wounds That Don’t Heal: Have you noticed cuts or sores that take too long to heal? This could indicate poor circulation or other vascular issues.
- Foot Pain: Do you experience unexplained pain or discomfort in your feet, especially when walking? Both nerve and blood vessel problems could be at play.
If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s important to get checked. Neurological and vascular foot testing can help us find the root cause and keep your feet healthy. Book an appointment today, and let’s get to the bottom of it together!
