Nerve damage is a common foot problem. Overpronation, excessive pressure due to tight shoes or diseases/disorders such as Diabetes or Cerebral Palsy can all cause nerve damage. There are various types of nerve issues seen in the foot such as Morton’s neuroma, drop foot and diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Burning, tingling and pain could be signs of nerve damage. David Allison, The Foot Guy, can offer comprehensive foot examinations to investigate what the problem may be.
