Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The numbness in the feet can happen due to:

3. Diabetes
A detailed examination by your physician is warranted to confirm the possibility. You may need a few blood tests like Fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar in addition arteriography / angiography is entailed. In the meantime, if you have a history of smoking, high cholesterol, overweight, then these need to be dealt with. This should be dealt by a trained medical doctor not a chiropractor.
