Understanding Neuropathy
Neuropathy, or peripheral neuropathy, occurs when you have damage to your peripheral nervous system. There are two parts to your nervous system: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
Your brain, nerves, and spinal cord are part of your central nervous system. They’re protected by your spine, vertebral canal, and skull. The rest of the nerves in your body make up your peripheral nervous system, which handles communication between your body and central nervous system.
When your peripheral nervous system is damaged, it can lead to various physical symptoms like weakness, numbness, and pain, often most common in the feet and hands. Neuropathy can lead to dangerous complications such as foot infections, ulcers, and gangrene.
You can develop neuropathy for several reasons, but the most common cause is high blood sugar from diabetes. Other triggers of neuropathy include:
- Hormonal, nutritional, or vitamin imbalances
- Exposure to toxins
- Vascular blood problems
- Alcoholism
- Infections or injury
- Chronic liver or kidney disease
- Autoimmune disorders
- Certain medications
- Certain cancers and their treatments, like chemotherapy
There are over 100 different types of peripheral neuropathy, each with its own symptoms depending on the kind of nerves damaged. Common signs of neuropathy include:
- Hypersensitivity
- Numbness or tingling
- Reduced sensitivity to temperature
- Diminished coordination
- Stabbing, burning, shooting pain
- Pins and needles sensation
For many people with this condition, symptoms become worse at night.
During your appointment, our team conducts a comprehensive examination to identify the cause of your neuropathy and treat any reversible causes immediately. Based on your diagnosis and symptoms, we may recommend various therapies, including:
- Topical creams
- Natural supplements to support nerve health
- Qutenza patch
- Spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and dorsal root ganglion stimulation
- Ziconotide pain pumps
For some forms of neuropathy, we might also recommend radiofrequency ablation, which uses radio waves to disrupt the pain signals sent from your nerves.
