What is GLP-1 Foot Pain (Ozempic Feet)?
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® have revolutionized weight management and diabetes care. However, many patients are discovering an unexpected side effect: new or worsening foot pain. Whether it is a loss of natural cushioning, changes in your gait, or increased nerve sensitivity, Tri-Town Podiatry is here to help you stay comfortable on your journey to better health.
How Rapid Weight Loss Affects Your Gait
As your body composition changes, so does the way you move. Rapidly losing weight can lead to a decrease in muscle mass in the lower legs and feet, which destabilizes your arch and alters your biomechanics. These shifts often trigger conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, or balance issues. At Tri-Town Podiatry, we perform comprehensive gait analyses to ensure your feet are properly supported as your body transforms.
Neuropathy and GLP-1 Medications
While GLP-1 drugs help manage blood sugar, a key factor in preventing long-term nerve damage, some patients report temporary "treatment-induced neuropathy" or increased tingling and burning sensations in their feet as their glucose levels stabilize. Our specialists provide expert neurological screenings to differentiate between temporary side effects and underlying diabetic neuropathy, ensuring you receive the correct intervention to manage discomfort.
