Most burning feet treatments focus on preventing further nerve
damage and reducing pain.
Causes of Burning Feet
Most often, neuropathy, or nerve damage, is the cause of burning feet. Damaged nerve fibers are more likely to become overactive and misfire. The damaged nerves send inappropriate pain signals to the brain, although there is no wound or injury.
In most people with neuropathy, the leg nerves tend to become damaged first, at their furthest ends in the feet.
