Neuropathy Treatment

Neuropathy Treatment in Las Vegas, NV

Nerve pain, burning, or numbness in the feet can make everyday activities uncomfortable and even unsafe. These symptoms are often signs of neuropathy, a condition caused by damage or dysfunction in the nerves. At the Las Vegas, NV, podiatry practice of Ted Cohen, DPM, patients benefit from his more than 40 years of experience diagnosing and treating neuropathy and its many complications. Whether symptoms are mild tingling or severe pain, early attention from an experienced podiatrist can prevent long-term damage.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Neuropathy

Neuropathy can feel different for each person, depending on which nerves are affected. Common symptoms include burning, tingling, or shooting sensations in the feet and lower legs. Some people notice numbness or a “pins and needles” feeling that gets worse at night. Others experience weakness, balance issues, or increased sensitivity to touch. Over time, neuropathy can also reduce sensation to the point where cuts or injuries go unnoticed, raising the risk of infection or ulceration.

What Causes Neuropathy in the Lower Limbs

There are several possible causes of neuropathy, but diabetes is the most common in the feet and legs. High blood sugar levels can gradually damage the nerves and blood vessels that supply the extremities. Other causes include poor circulation, chronic alcohol use, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, and side effects from certain medications or chemotherapy. Injuries, infections, and repetitive stress to the feet can also contribute to nerve irritation and pain.

Because many of these factors are treatable, a podiatrist’s evaluation at our Las Vegas, NV, office plays an important role in identifying the source and preventing further progression.

How Podiatrists Help Manage Neuropathy

Dr. Cohen takes a comprehensive approach to neuropathy care, helping with both symptom relief and long-term management. Diagnostic tools such as nerve testing, circulatory assessment, and gait analysis help determine the extent of nerve damage. Treatment options may include custom orthotics to reduce pressure points, topical or oral medications for pain management, and therapies to retrain nerves and improve blood flow.

Equally important is patient education. Dr. Cohen teaches patients how to monitor their feet for signs of injury, maintain proper foot hygiene, and choose footwear that supports circulation and balance. These steps can significantly reduce the risk of ulcers and infections, particularly in those with diabetes or reduced sensation.
