Certain medications that you may be taking can cause nerve damage and a loss of sensation in your feet, and you may not even realize you have lost it.  The medical term we use to describe this condition is Peripheral Neuropathy.

It is important to schedule an appointment with our foot specialist, Dr. Schlam, to monitor the health of your feet, especially if you take any of these medications.  The end result of neglecting your feet when you have nerve damage can be devastating and may include infected blisters, non-healing ulcers, and possibly even amputations.  Let Hollowbrook Foot Specialists treat your feet, click here or call for an appointment today: (845) 298 – 9074.
