Peripheral Neuropathy Toronto

Protect your feet before you lose the feeling — and the function. We help patients with neuropathy stay one step ahead.

Tingling, Numbness, or Burning in Your Feet?

Peripheral neuropathy affects more than just sensation — it can affect balance, walking, and your risk of developing wounds. If you’ve been feeling numbness, burning, or tingling in your toes, or noticed cuts or injuries you didn’t feel happen, you may be dealing with peripheral neuropathy.

At Step Right Foot Clinic, we help patients monitor and manage peripheral neuropathy, especially when caused by diabetes, poor circulation, or other chronic conditions. We offer nerve screening, custom orthotics, diabetic foot care, and prevention strategies to reduce your risk of falls, ulcers, and amputation.

You don’t need a referral — and early intervention makes all the difference.

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves — the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord — that send signals to your limbs.

In the feet, this nerve damage often results in:

• Loss of sensation (numbness, insensitivity to temperature or injury)
• Abnormal sensations (burning, tingling, pins and needles)
• Motor issues (weakness, loss of balance, muscle wasting)

There are many causes of peripheral neuropathy, including:

• Diabetes (most common)
• Alcoholism
• Chemotherapy
• B12 deficiency
• Hypothyroidism
• Nerve compression or trauma
• Idiopathic (unknown cause)

Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy typically affects both feet symmetrically and may include:

• Tingling or “pins and needles” in the toes or soles
• Burning pain — especially at night
• Numbness or reduced ability to feel temperature
• Sharp or shooting pains
• Muscle weakness or poor balance
• Foot injuries you didn’t notice
• Dry, cracked skin due to reduced sweating

As the condition progresses, the risk of falls, infections, and diabetic foot ulcers increases significantly. That’s why early screening and foot protection are key.

How We Help Manage Neuropathy

At Step Right Foot Clinic, we focus on protecting your feet, relieving pain, and preventing complications. We can work with your family doctor and neurologist to keep symptoms under control.

Nerve Screening & Sensory Testing

We conduct monofilament testing, vibration perception, temperature sensitivity, and skin inspection to assess neuropathy severity.

Diabetic & Neuropathic Foot Care

We provide gentle, medical-grade nail and skin care, callus reduction, and preventive monitoring for people with reduced foot sensation.

Custom Orthotics & Footwear Guidance

Orthotics help protect vulnerable feet by:

• Reducing pressure points
• Supporting balance
• Improving gait mechanics

We also help you find supportive shoes that accommodate nerve issues, swelling, or deformity.

Offloading & Wound Prevention

If you’ve had a foot ulcer or are at high risk, we create a personalized plan for offloading, monitoring, and skin protection to prevent recurrence.

Fall & Balance Screening

We evaluate and support your postural stability to help prevent falls — a common risk in those with numbness or foot drop.

Nerve & Diabetes-Focused Foot Care

We’ve helped hundreds of patients protect their feet from neuropathy-related complications, including ulcers, falls, and infections.

Preventive Focus

We go beyond symptom relief to provide early detection and proactive care, even before symptoms are obvious.

Conservative, Non-Invasive Options

We offer orthotics, skin care, sensory testing, and gait support — no injections, surgeries, or waitlists.

Numbness Isn’t Normal — And It’s Not Harmless

If you’re losing feeling in your feet, don’t wait for an ulcer or fall to act. We’ll help you monitor your nerve health and protect your feet for the long term.
