Neuropathy

If you’ve been told your foot numbness, burning, tingling, or shooting pain is “just aging,” that’s almost certainly wrong. Peripheral neuropathy has identifiable causes, treatable contributing factors, and conservative protocols that can meaningfully reduce symptoms — including in patients in their 60s, 70s, and beyond who were told nothing could be done.

At Marble Falls Podiatrist, Dr. Frank J. Henry, DPM, FACFAS, evaluates neuropathy comprehensively: full medical history, biomechanical assessment, in-office diagnostic testing, and an honest conversation about what’s reversible and what isn’t. Many neuropathy patients have never had this complete workup, and many discover that significant relief is possible once the actual contributing factors are identified.

This category covers the questions our neuropathy patients bring to us: the difference between diabetic and idiopathic neuropathy, why symptoms often get attributed to aging when they shouldn’t be, what footwear and home care actually help, how advanced in-office therapies fit into a conservative treatment plan, and what to expect from a first visit at our Marble Falls office.

We serve neuropathy patients across the Highland Lakes and Hill Country — Marble Falls, Burnet, Kingsland, Horseshoe Bay, Granite Shoals, Llano, Lakeway, and the surrounding region. With more than 30 years in practice and 40,000+ patients treated, we know what patients have heard before — and what they often haven’t.

If you’ve accepted neuropathy as something you have to live with, the posts in this category will help you reconsider that assumption.
