Are you struggling to lift your foot when walking? Do your toes drag on the floor, or is it difficult to move your foot from side to side? These could be signs of drop foot, also known as foot drop—a condition that makes it hard to lift the front part of your foot, increasing the risk of tripping or falling.
Drop foot is often caused by compressed or damaged nerves in the leg, which interrupt signals between the brain and the muscles. This can result from prolonged pressure on the nerve, past injuries, or underlying conditions like diabetes. It can also occur after procedures such as hip or knee replacement surgery.
At Anderson Center for Neuropathy and Chronic Pain, our experienced Colorado podiatrists understand the challenges drop foot can bring to your daily life. That’s why we were the first in the Rocky Mountain region to offer advanced nerve decompression surgery—a minimally invasive treatment designed to restore function and provide long-term relief.
Many of our patients have gone from using canes or walkers to walking—and even running—independently. If you’re searching for a proven, effective foot care solution for drop foot, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
