WHAT WE TREAT
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHYSCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION
What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Do you experience tingling, numbness, or pain in your hands or feet? You may have Peripheral Neuropathy.
Neuropathy occurs in the feet or hands due to nerve damage. Over time the nerves lose blood supply due to constriction which causes them to degenerate. As nerve damage progresses, they start sending abnormal signals to the brain.
People with Peripheral Neuropathy describe the pain as stabbing, burning, or tingling. Some will experience numbness as the nerve damage progresses. Once sensation is lost in the feet, balance problems start to occur and you may be at risk of falling. If neuropathy is in your hands, you may experience weakened grip and begin to drop things.
What Causes Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is often caused by diabetes but can also occur due to other reasons, such as injury or genetics. In some cases, the cause is unknown.
Your doctor may recommend medications such as Gabapentin or Lyrica but these often provide limited relief.
