PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY:
Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, refers to a condition where the peripheral nerves, which transmit signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body, are damaged. This damage can affect a range of bodily functions, including movement, sensation, and autonomic processes. Neuropathy can be caused by various factors, such as diabetes, infections, injuries, toxins, certain medications, and chemotherapy treatments, or may be idiopathic (of unknown origin).
This type is quickly becoming more and more prevalent and estimates are that it affects nearly 46.5 million Americans. This type of neuropathy affects the nerves furthest away from the center of the body (like the lower arms, hands, fingers, lower legs, feet and toes).
Peripheral neuropathy is a progressive condition that typically affects the lower legs and feet and then can advance to the hands and fingers. Peripheral neuropathy is characterized by a trilogy of symptoms, usually numbness and tingling and eventually leads to debilitating balance problems. Pain is the variable with peripheral neuropathy. Some people never experience pain and for some people, pain is the first symptom to show up. The pain of peripheral neuropathy varies from person to person. Some people have a burning type pain. For some it feels like electrical shocks. For others it’s like their feet are being torn apart.
Common signs and symptoms of neuropathy include numbness or tingling, often starting in the hands or feet. People with neuropathy may experience a "pins and needles" sensation, weakness, pain, or a loss of coordination. In some cases, pain can be sharp, burning, or stabbing. The affected area may also become hypersensitive to touch, making everyday activities like walking or holding objects difficult. Additionally, neuropathy can disrupt the body's autonomic functions, leading to issues like dizziness, digestive problems, or changes in blood pressure. Neuropathy is considered a progressive and degenerative condition; which is to say that it is likely to become worse with the passing of time.
While many treatments for neuropathy attempt to "dull" the symptoms, and wind up becoming much less effective as neuropathy progresses, our approach; with cutting-edge technology and proven therapies, have shown to be incredibly successful. Intervention with our office can help you manage symptoms, prevent further nerve damage, improve your quality of life, and allow you to once again do the things that are important to you.
