Poor Circulation in the Feet

Good blood circulation is necessary for optimal health and body function. If circulation is affected for any reason, it could result in numbness in the feet. The first thing to do is to walk about or move your feet to stimulate circulation. Poor circulation could result from sitting in one position for a long time, or sitting cross-legged. This is a temporary and harmless condition. But if movement does not work and the numbness persists, you should see your podiatrist. It could well be due to an obstruction that is impeding blood flow, not something you cannot diagnose yourself. The problem could also be related to loss of communication between the nerves and central nervous system. Numbness in the feet could be caused by nerve damage or other diseases like Lyme Disease or Diabetic Neuropathy, which are serious conditions, requiring immediate expert medical intervention. After determining the cause, your podiatrist could recommend from several lines of treatment which could include controlling your blood sugar, abstaining from alcohol, and exercise. Numbness in the extremities affects millions of Americans, which should not be ignored.
