Foot drop can stem from various causes, including nerve injuries (especially to the peroneal nerve), brain or spinal disorders like stroke or multiple sclerosis, and even muscle disorders such as muscular dystrophy. Sometimes, it’s caused by prolonged pressure on a nerve or complications from surgery. Identifying the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment. Whether it’s a temporary nerve compression or a chronic neurological condition, understanding “why” is the first step to healing. Diagnostic tools like nerve conduction studies and MRIs are often used to find the exact issue. Personalized treatment can only happen when the root cause is properly addressed. Reach out to Dr. Khushbu Goel, she’s skilled at uncovering these causes and will work with you to build a comprehensive treatment plan that targets the root of the issue.
