Responsible for controlling muscle movements.
Transmit sensations such as temperature, touch, and taste.

Peripheral neuropathy, therefore, refers to the dysfunction of these peripheral nerves. With over 100 identified types, each type of peripheral neuropathy presents unique symptoms and prognosis, dependent on the affected nerves. Symptoms can vary in intensity and nature, with some common ones including:
Muscle weakness, cramps, twitching, and coordination issues.
Pain sensations, numbness, tingling, or hypersensitivity.
Irregular sweating, heat intolerance, digestive issues, and blood pressure regulation problems.
Neuropathy can stem from a variety of different sources or multiple sources. Finding the underlying cause is very important in order to successfully treat and reverse neuropathy. It is best to be evaluated by one of our healthcare professionals for a proper diagnosis and proper course for treatment.

Traumas or repetitive activities causing nerve pressure.
Reduced oxygen levels to nerves due to smoking or vascular issues.
Both benign and malignant tumors pressing against nerves.
Diagnosing peripheral neuropathy involves a thorough physical examination, medical history review, lifestyle assessment, and family history of neurological diseases. The physical exam checks muscle strength, reflexes, coordination, and sensitivity to sensations. Diagnostic tests may include:
To identify vascular or blood flow issues
To identify metabolic disorders, infections, or autoimmune conditions.
Such as electromyography (EMG) for detecting nerve damage.
Nerve or skin biopsies to find any nerve abnormalities.
Understanding the nuances of peripheral neuropathy is vital for effective treatment and management, as symptoms and causes can vary greatly among individuals. A comprehensive approach involving medical history, physical examination, and specific testing is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management.
