Vitamin B12 Deficiency Treatment At Hackney Podiatry & Health
Common Symptoms of Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency presents in many different ways, and rarely all at once. The most common signs are:
- Extreme tiredness and persistently low energy
- Pins and needles, or numbness in the hands and feet
- Muscle weakness
- Frequent infections
- Mouth ulcers
- Blurred vision
- Low mood and anxiety
- Memory problems and poor concentration
Many people struggle to absorb Vitamin B12 through the digestive system. Vegetarians and vegans are more commonly affected, but absorption problems can affect anyone.
At Hackney Podiatry & Health, we see many patients who have been told their Vitamin B12 levels are within range, despite ongoing symptoms. Reference ranges vary between countries and between laboratories, and some clinicians consider results in the lower part of the range to be worth acting on where symptoms persist. If you have had a test and still feel unwell, it is worth discussing the result rather than assuming the matter is closed.
We offer safe, effective Vitamin B12 injections, which bypass gut absorption and provide rapid benefits. Tracy may recommend a loading course of four injections over 6–8 weeks, followed by maintenance boosters every 3–6 months. You are also welcome to try a single injection to experience the benefits.
