Why Do My Feet Tingle at Night?

You finally settle into bed, ready to unwind — but your feet have other plans.

That strange tingling, burning, or pins-and-needles sensation creeps in, especially at night when everything else is quiet. While it might seem like a harmless annoyance, frequent nighttime tingling can actually be your body’s way of signaling an underlying nerve issue.

At The Foot Docs in Las Vegas, our specialists see this symptom often — and we know that early attention can make all the difference.

What Causes Tingling Feet?

That tingling or burning feeling is often related to peripheral neuropathy — a condition where the small nerves in your feet become damaged, irritated, or compressed.

While diabetes is one of the most common causes, neuropathy can also develop from:

  • Nerve compression or pinching (in the ankle or spine)
  • Vitamin deficiencies, especially B12
  • Alcohol use or medication side effects (like chemotherapy drugs)
  • Old injuries or surgeries
  • Poor circulation
  • Autoimmune or metabolic disorders
  • Idiopathic neuropathy, where the cause is unknown but still treatable

Symptoms tend to feel worse at night because your body is at rest — making you more aware of small nerve signals that feel like buzzing, itching, or burning sensations.

When Should You Be Concerned?

Occasional tingling after a long day or workout is normal. But if it’s persistent, worsening, or disrupting your sleep, it’s time to have it checked.

Look for signs like:

  • Tingling that lasts more than a few days
  • Burning or pins-and-needles sensations that wake you up
  • Numbness or coldness in the feet
  • Pain without an obvious injury
  • Weakness or instability while walking

How The Foot Docs Diagnose the Cause

We take nerve-related symptoms seriously. At The Foot Docs, your evaluation may include:

  • A comprehensive neurological exam
  • Circulation assessments (ABI/TBI) to rule out vascular causes
  • Imaging or lab work, when needed, to identify underlying conditions

This approach helps us pinpoint exactly what’s causing your tingling — and tailor a treatment plan just for you.

Advanced Treatment Options That Work

There’s no single solution for neuropathy, but our evidence-based treatments focus on restoring nerve health, not just masking symptoms.

We offer:

  • Remy Class IV Laser Therapy — improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes nerve regeneration
  • Regenerative injections — stimulate local healing and nerve repair
  • Medical-grade supplements (like EB-N6) — support nerve and metabolic function
  • Custom orthotics — relieve mechanical nerve irritation caused by poor foot alignment
  • Lifestyle guidance — includes nutritional and activity changes to prevent progression

The earlier neuropathy is addressed, the better the results — and in many cases, symptoms can be significantly improved or reversed.

Don’t Ignore What Your Feet Are Telling You

Tingling isn’t just a small nuisance — it’s a message. Your feet are trying to alert you that something deeper might be going on.

At The Foot Docs, we combine compassionate care with advanced technology to find the cause, relieve discomfort, and restore long-term nerve health.📞 Call 702-530-2283
