What can cause a person to not have reflexes in thier feet?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nerves: Most common would be being nervous during an exam and "clinching" up. Other causes run from diabetes and other diseases that damage nerves in the extremities or spinal cord.

Nerves: All reflexes are related to your nerves. If you have nerve problems such as a spinal injury or neuropathy of some sort, then you may have lost your reflexes. There are multiple other causes as well but they all relate back to nerve damage.
