The short answer
Numbness, tinglings, burnings in the leg can come from venous disease, peripheral nerve entrapment, spinal causes, peripheral neuropathy, fascia, or a combination. Laurel clinical is a vein clinic, but we look deeper when symptoms are not fully explained, and we work with your broader care team when needed.
