Tingling in the feet, toes, or ankles may signal a range of issues that require medical attention. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, peripheral artery disease, kidney failure, and autoimmune disorders can damage nerves or reduce blood flow. This can lead to sensations of numbness, burning, or tingling in the feet. Other possible causes include neuropathy from alcohol use, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, and pregnancy‑related nerve pressure. Diagnosing the source of tingling in the feet typically involves a detailed medical history, physical examination, nerve conduction studies, imaging such as MRI or CT scans, blood tests, urine tests or vascular assessments. Identifying the underlying cause with such evaluations enables targeted treatment that may include medication, blood vessel repair surgery, or nerve-related surgery. A podiatrist plays a key role in evaluating foot and ankle nerve issues, coordinating diagnostics, and developing an appropriate care plan. If you are experiencing constant tingling in your feet and toes, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
