What Are Nerve Tumors?
Nerve tumors are natural growths that develop on or near the body's nerves. For the most part, nerve tumors are benign (harmless), but they can cause pain and other symptoms if they put pressure on the nerve or damage it. A tumor that forms near the nerves in the hands or feet is called a peripheral nerve tumor. This condition can lead to a disorder called neuropathy, in which the nerves in the hands or feet become damaged or inflamed, causing symptoms like numbness, pain, or weakness. Peripheral neuropathy is a progressive condition, meaning it can worsen and even cause lasting damage without treatment. If you're regularly experiencing tingling or discomfort in your feet, you should schedule a consultation at Agape Foot Care to learn if you have peripheral nerve damage. Our staff has extensive experience dealing with nerve tumors and neuropathy and will help you find relief. Contact our podiatry office in Garland, Waxahachie, Kaufman, or Carrollton, TX to get started.
How Do You Treat Nerve Tumors?
All foot treatments at Agape Foot Care begin with a consultation, which may be done at our North Texas offices or in the comfort of your home if you have mobility challenges. Our providers will examine the growth and learn more about any medical issues or life factors that may be contributing to your condition. Treatment for nerve tumors typically involves surgery to excise the growth, but we may consider other options if there is a risk of damaging the nerve. Treatment for neuropathy may include lifestyle modifications (such as exercising more or cutting out alcohol), changes to nutrition, and management of any associated conditions. During your consultation, we'll discuss these changes and talk about what you can expect from your treatment program.
What Are Some Symptoms of Nerve Tumors?
A peripheral nerve tumor may or may not be visible to the eye, depending on its size and where it grows. In that case, you might not realize you have one until you start to experience nerve issues. Some symptoms of nerve tumors include:
- The appearance of a lump pushing out from the skin
- Sharp or burning pain
- Tingling or numbness in the foot
- Weakness in the affected foot

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Excellent experience. I came in for a long-standing ingrown toenail issue and was very impressed with the level of care and professionalism. The staff was friendly, attentive, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt comfortable throughout the visit and left feeling relieved and confident about my treatment plan. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and high-quality podiatric care.
(Carrollton location)Everything was awesome from the start the front desk lady Candia was so nice & very helpful. So happy to find a late appointment at 6pm with Dr. Michael Smith on a Wednesday we loved his bedside manner. He was very gentle took good care of my mother. I highly recommend him.
