Book consultation Numbness & Tingling After Chemotherapy
Body part: lower limbClinical Overview
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) causes numbness, tingling, burning, or loss of sensation in the hands and feet. It results from neurotoxic effects of chemotherapy agents (particularly platinum-based drugs, taxanes, and vinca alkaloids). CIPN affects balance, grip strength, and walking ability, increasing fall risk and reducing independence. Our physiotherapists at Bethesda use sensory re-education, balance training, desensitisation techniques, and neuromuscular exercises to help cancer survivors manage neuropathic symptoms and restore functional safety.
Professional Evaluation
This symptom is generally safe to manage with structured, elective physical therapy. We recommend booking a comprehensive physical assessment to rule out underlying structural mechanical joint issues.
Report neuropathic symptoms to your oncologist promptly — early intervention may prevent progression. Seek physiotherapy if numbness affects your balance, walking, or ability to handle objects. Seek urgent care if weakness develops suddenly or you experience foot drop.
