Because of the neuropathy, Charcot foot causes a decrease in the footâs sensitivity to stimuli and interferes with the muscular balance that controls the footâs movements. Often there is no pain, so the person continues walking on the footâwhich makes the problem worse. Charcot foot that is left untreated progressively damages the ligaments, cartilage, and bones, and makes the joints in the feet susceptible to progressive injury.
