Numbness and tingling in the leg and foot often indicate nerve irritation.

The most common causes are inflammation or compression of various nerves, including the S1 nerve root, the tibial division of the sciatic nerve, and the posterior tibial nerve.

Treatments can range from targeted exercises, physical therapy, injections, alternative treatments like acupuncture and chiropractic care, and, in some cases, surgery.

'Double crush syndrome', where a nerve is compressed in two places, is an important but often overlooked diagnosis.
