Nerve entrapment gives Ogden Clinic patients a distinct sensation: it’s
a localized tingling, numbing, or burning feeling in the feet or ankles.
Sometimes people experience nerve entrapment during high-impact activities
such as running, but it can also occur while standing or even without
any weight bearing on the foot. In any case, sufferers of tingling and
numbness in the feet should be evaluated by an Ogden Clinic podiatrist
if they experience nerve entrapment.
After a clinical evaluation for tingling and numbness in the feet, your
Ogden Clinic foot and ankle doctor may immobilize the foot if weight bearing
causes pain. Physical therapy and cryotherapy are effective options to
relieve nerve entrapment, although injection with a sclerosing agent or
surgery may be necessary to decompress the nerve.
