According to a 2023 analysis, both excessive and insufficient intake of magnesium may increase the incidence of peripheral neuropathy. This finding reveals a complex relationship, challenging the simple question: can magnesium cause foot neuropathy, or is a deficiency the real culprit?

Historically, peripheral neuropathies resulting from nutritional deficiencies have been documented during periods of malnutrition. Today, while less common in developed countries, research confirms that a lack of vitamin can still cause neuropathy in feet by disrupting nerve function, especially in at-risk populations.
