Foot neuropathy can be one of those life challenges that everyone dreads and hopelessly does nothing to rectify. If it has been over a decade that you have been in this situation, you are not alone. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke estimates that up to 20 million people in the United States have peripheral neuropathy, with foot neuropathy accounting for a significant portion of cases.
This blog post will explore long-term foot neuropathy and introduce you to treatment options that could potentially change your life.

2. Lowered mobility: Due to pain and/or weakness of the muscles, one may not be able to walk or perform any other tasks that involve strenuous activities.
3. Mental health issues: It has been established that chronic pain, along with other limitations, can cause both high levels of anxiety and depression.
