Neuropathy Insoles and Testing Solutions

Foot neuropathy is a condition caused by nerve damage in the feet, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning pain or/and weakness. It is most commonly associated with diabetes, though other causes include vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, infections, alcohol abuse and certain medications like chemotherapy.

Symptoms vary - ranging from sharp, stabbing pain to a complete loss of sensation. This lack of feeling can be particularly dangerous, as it increases the risk of unnoticed injuries like cuts, blisters, or ulcers, which can lead to infections.

Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause, such as controlling blood sugar levels in diabetics, alongside symptom relief. Specialised footwear or insoles designed for neuropathy can reduce pressure and friction, protecting sensitive areas and improving comfort during daily activities.

Algeos Neuropathy Insoles Explained
