Neauropathy & Peripheral
Nerve Disorders
Understanding Neuropathy
Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. It can cause weakness, numbness, tingling, or pain, typically in the hands and feet.
Causes and Risk Factors
Peripheral nerve disorders can be caused by diabetes, injuries, infections, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to toxins. Risk increases with certain lifestyle factors such as poor diet, excessive alcohol use, and unmanaged chronic conditions.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Diagnosis may involve nerve conduction studies, blood tests, and imaging. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause, controlling symptoms, and preventing further nerve damage through medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.
