What Can You Do About Cold Feet?

It’s kind of a common joke that if someone is afraid of moving forward in a situation, such as marriage, they have “cold feet”.

The kind of cold feet that we’re going to talk about is nothing to joke about. It’s the extreme cold feet that can be caused by Peripheral Neuropathy, which is often brought on by Diabetes.

Your feet feel cold even when the temperature isn’t cold, and it’s difficult to impossible to warm them up.

When Peripheral Neuropathy occurs, nerves become damaged, especially the peripheral nerves of your extremities, specifically the hands and feet, and to be even more specific, the feet, which seem to be predominantly affected.

Cold Feet Can Cause Complications

Many of us have experienced cold feet before, a situation that, in and of itself really isn’t a problem, but when you have chronic cold feet, many other things can go wrong.

• Feet can lose sensation, making it difficult to recognize pain or injury. And without sensation in your feet, you can have problems with your balance, which leaves you prone to falling.

• Cold feet can keep you awake at night, even if you try wearing socks to bed.

• Cold feet can lead to cracked dry skin, which can lead to infection, and because of poor circulation in the foot, healing becomes much more difficult.

People who suffer with the pain and symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy, such as chronic cold feet, are most likely informed by their medical professional that there is nothing that can be done, so they diagnose pain medication.

No one wants or needs to live like this.

At the Bellevue Pain Institute, we are having great success treating people with symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy with Low Level Laser Therapy. The good news is that it is a drug free, painless and non-invasive treatment. The really good news is that it works!
