When the nerves are burning.

Burning feet are painful, put a lot of strain on those affected and significantly affect their quality of life. On this page we would like to explain the causes, diagnostic methods and treatment options for burning feet in an understandable way.

Polyneuropathy as a cause of burning feet Polyneuropathy is a disease in which the nerves in the body are damaged. The causes are varied and not yet fully researched - injuries, bruises or inflammation can play a role. But a long-term very high blood sugar level or alcohol consumption can also be triggers. A distinction is made between central and peripheral neuropathies, both of which continuously send pain signals...

1. Nutrition

By far the most valuable and sustainable thing you can do for your body when you have burning feet is to eat the right food. You set the course from the inside out and you'll see what a difference it makes. Here are the most important cornerstones of your diet.

Omega-3 fatty acids:

These anti-inflammatory fatty acids are found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines, as well as in flaxseed, chia seeds and walnuts.

Leafy green vegetables:

Spinach, kale and other dark green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals that are important for nerve health.

Wholegrain products:

Whole grains such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, and oats are rich in...

2. Yoga

Yoga is certainly one of the healthier and also very successful therapeutic approaches for treating burning feet. Basically, of course, movement is the be-all and end-all – whether it's yoga, swimming, walking or muscle training.

Here are a few points about what regular yoga (or exercise) can do for you.

Stress reduction:

Yoga is known for its relaxing effect, which can reduce stress and anxiety. Stress is a known factor that can worsen all kinds of conditions. So by reducing stress, the symptoms of PNP can also be alleviated.

Improvement of blood circulation:

Many yoga poses promote increased blood flow throughout the body. Improved blood flow can help soothe inflamed or irritated nerves, reducing pain.

3. Physiotherapy & Acupuncture

Targeted physiotherapy can be very helpful in treating burning feet. Specific exercises and techniques – such as stretching and muscle strengthening – can help reduce pain and improve functionality. Another advantage: A professional physiotherapist can use manual therapy to focus on specific problem areas individually. In Germany, many clinics specialize in treating chronic polyneuropathies as part of their standard care.

Acupressure and acupuncture are traditional treatment methods that can help some individuals relieve (nerve) pain. Both aim to balance the body’s energy flows, which may contribute to pain relief.

4. Cold therapy

Let's move on to our absolute favourite, because applying cold to burning feet has outstanding effects on the nervous system, which can help to directly alleviate the symptoms.

To understand how this works, it helps to look at the body's physiological responses to cold.

Slowing nerve conduction velocity:

Cold slows down the transmission speed of nerve impulses. In the extremities, this can reduce unpleasant sensations such as tingling, burning or pain. The nerves are less ‘reactive’, which can lead to a certain calming of the symptoms.


Reducing the inflammatory response:

Although inflammation is not necessarily a primary factor in PNP, an accompanying inflammatory response in the legs can contribute to symptom intensification. By dampening the...
