In other cases, tingling feet may occur because of temporary changes during pregnancy or due to medication.
How Is Tingling in the Feet Diagnosed?
Your healthcare team will diagnose your tingling feet by taking a careful medical history and completing a thorough exam.
In some cases, as with an anxiety diagnosis, no other tests may be needed.
But for most conditions, your providers will consider a range of tests.
They’re also used to check how well a person is managing their diabetes.
Treatment for Tingling Feet
Treatment for tingling feet will depend on the cause and your specific diagnosis.
Stretching exercises and physical therapy may help with a pinched nerve.
Depending on the cause, though, they are likely to need more comprehensive treatment.
