Foot drop treatment by Sanyukt Chikitsa and Ayurvedic Neuro therapy :-

Foot drop is a symptom in which you drag your toes as you walk because some of the muscles in your foot are weak or paralysed. It could have a number of causes. Injury to the peroneal nerve and lumbar radiculopathy are the most frequent causes. In most situations, but not all, it can be treated.

What is foot drop?

Foot drop (also called drop foot) happens when you can’t raise the front part of your foot due to weakness or paralysis of the muscles that lift it. It’s a symptom of several possible underlying conditions and can be temporary or long-term (chronic). Due to weakness or paralysis, people who have foot drop often drag their toes when they walk. They may also have to lift their knee higher than usual to avoid dragging their toes. Walking this way may increase your risk of tripping and falling.

Treatment

Foot drop treatment depends on what’s causing it. In some cases, treating the cause will also fix foot drop. If the cause is a chronic condition, like multiple sclerosis or ALS, foot drop may be permanent. Treatment options include: Physical and occupational therapy can help you walk more comfortably by stretching and strengthening your muscles. To support your ankle and foot and keep it in a more natural posture, you may need to use braces, splints, or shoe inserts (orthotics).
