Diabetic neuropathy is a condition that causes nerve damage. It’s a maligned condition that often affects people with diabetes. It can especially affect the body's extremities, wreaking havoc on the hands, legs, and feet. There are also other causes of diabetic foot pain, such as poor circulation. Regardless of the cause, the pain must be addressed. So, what are home remedies to alleviate foot pain? Read on to find out. ## Watch Your Circulation As stated above, poor circulation causes issues with [diabetic neuropathy](https://blog.anodyneshoes.com/tips-for-managing-neuropathy-in-your-feet). Because of this, it's ideal for people with diabetes to wear men's or [ladies' diabetic slippers](https://www.anodyneshoes.com/women/slippers) around the house. This will increase circulation and, even more importantly, keep their feet protected and comfortable. The insoles of these slippers are soft, helping ease any discomfort the wearer may be experiencing. Additionally, wearing these slippers is a great way to prevent injury. ## Discuss Pain Medication With Your Doctor This certainly isn't for everyone, but it can help. Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and naproxen are all popular choices for pain relief. The efficacy of pain medication is widely regarded, so it's a useful substitute for natural pain relief methods in a pinch. Always have some pain medication around in the event that your discomfort becomes too great to bear. If your foot pain is consistently intolerable, you might need prescription-strength medication; consult your doctor to discuss this option. This can prove to be an effective way to alleviate your diabetic foot pain at home. ## Start Exercising High-impact exercise damages your feet, but low-impact exercise can do wonders for your circulation if done in moderation. This may seem counterproductive if your feet are in pain, but that pain will improve with time. Walking, biking, and swimming are recommended exercises for people with [diabetes](https://info.anodyneshoes.com/diabetes), but running and aerobic exercises are not. There are many ways you can increase your resistance and [improve your diabetic foot pain](https://blog.anodyneshoes.com/5-ways-to-protect-your-feet-at-home-if-you-have-diabetes), both naturally and medically. ![Anodyne_circle_1_logo (2)](https://blog.anodyneshoes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Anodyne_circle_1_logo%20(2).png?width=116&name=Anodyne_circle_1_logo%20(2).png) Born and raised in the emergent city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Anodyne represents the core of an age-old Midwestern culture – pride, dedication and hard work.
