What is the reason for numbness in toes

If you want to effectively treat numbness in your toes, you should pay attention to analyzing the cause. For example, common nerve compression, blood vessel damage, and some endocrine diseases may cause this symptom, so you must clarify the cause before starting treatment.

1. The main reasons for numbness in the toes are nerve compression, blood vessel damage, trauma, endocrine diseases, and trace element deficiency. Fingers and toes are the terminals of nerve endings and blood capillaries. Once the blood flow is blocked, numbness will occur. The causes are related to long-term fixed position work and cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis, also known as cervical spondylosis syndrome, is a general term for cervical osteoarthritis, hypertrophic cervical spondylitis, cervical radiculopathy, and cervical disc herniation. It is a disease based on degenerative pathological changes. It is mainly caused by long-term strain of the cervical spine, bone hyperplasia, or herniated disc, ligament thickening, which leads to compression of the cervical spinal cord, nerve roots or vertebral arteries, resulting in a series of clinical syndromes of functional disorders.

2. It manifests as a series of pathological changes of cervical disc degeneration itself and its secondary changes, such as vertebral instability and loosening; nucleus pulposus protrusion or extrusion; bone spur formation; ligament hypertrophy and secondary spinal canal stenosis, etc., which stimulate or compress the adjacent nerve roots, spinal cord, vertebral arteries and cervical sympathetic nerves and other tissues, and cause a syndrome of various symptoms and signs. Lumbar muscle strain Chronic lumbar muscle strain is a common clinical disease, a frequently-occurring disease with many pathogenic factors. The main symptom is low back pain, which is aggravated by daytime fatigue and relieved after rest. Over time, it can cause muscle fiber degeneration, even a small amount of tearing, forming scars or fiber cords or adhesions, leaving long-term chronic low back pain. The main treatment is non-surgical treatment. If various non-surgical treatments are ineffective, surgical treatment can be performed.

3. Hypoglycemia and hyperlipidemia are conditions in which abnormal fat metabolism or function causes one or more lipids in plasma to be higher than normal, which is called hyperlipidemia. Lipids are insoluble or slightly soluble in water and must be combined with proteins to exist in the form of lipoproteins. Therefore, hyperlipidemia is often hyperlipoproteinemia. It manifests as hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia or both, and is clinically divided into two categories: ① primary, rare, and a hereditary lipid metabolism disorder; ② secondary, commonly related to poorly controlled diabetes, drinking, hypothyroidism, nephrotic syndrome, renal dialysis, renal transplantation, biliary obstruction, oral contraceptives, etc.
