Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy or foot neuropathy occurs when the nerves in the feet become irritated or damaged. Below are the most common causes of foot neuropathy: 
- Diabetets (Diabetic Neuropathy): High blood sugar damages small nerves in the feet over time.
- Alcohol Abuse: Chronic alcohol use damages nerves and often leads to vitamin deficiencies.
- Vitamin Deficiencies: Low levels of B1, B6, B12, and E affect nerve health.
- Infections: Certain infections like shingles can directly impact nerve function.
- Medications & Chemotherapy: Certain drugs are toxic to peripheral nerves.
- Automimmune Diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can cause nerve inflammation.
- Trauma or Injury: Injuries to the lower back, legs, or feet can compress or damage nerves.
- Genetic Disorders: Inherited conditions can affect nerve signaling.
- Kidney or Liver Disease: Toxin buildup from organ dysfunction can damage nerves.
- Toxin Exposure: Contact with chemicals or heavy metals can harm nerves.
