Neuropathy Treatment

Neuropathy Treatment

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the nerves that carry signals between the brain, spinal cord, and different parts of the body. It can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning sensations, weakness, and pain, often affecting the hands and feet.

Our Neuropathy Treatment services focus on identifying the underlying cause, relieving symptoms, slowing disease progression, and improving nerve function to help patients maintain a better quality of life.

Neuropathy Treatment

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged. Depending on the type and severity of nerve involvement, patients may experience sensory, motor, or autonomic symptoms that interfere with daily activities.

How Does Neuropathy Feel?

Symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to severe pain and mobility issues. Common complaints include:

  • Tingling or "pins and needles" sensation
  • Burning pain in the feet or hands
  • Numbness or reduced sensation
  • Sharp, stabbing pain
  • Muscle weakness
  • Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
  • Increased sensitivity to touch
  • Cramping or muscle twitching

Common Causes of Neuropathy

Neuropathy can develop due to a variety of medical conditions and lifestyle factors.

  • Diabetes
  • Vitamin deficiencies
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Alcohol abuse
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Infections
  • Nerve compression injuries
  • Certain medications
  • Kidney and liver disorders

Who Should Get Evaluated?

You should consider neurological evaluation if you experience:

  • Persistent numbness in hands or feet
  • Burning or shooting pain
  • Unexplained weakness
  • Frequent falls or balance problems
  • Loss of coordination
  • Symptoms that worsen over time
