Peripheral neuropathy is a group of more than 100 different conditions, all of which involve the peripheral nervous system damage. Your peripheral nerves work as a conduction system that relays nerve signals between your central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the remainder of your body.
When your peripheral nerves are damaged, the signaling is lost, sporadic, or distorted. This can cause several symptoms.
Peripheral neuropathy has many possible causes, but high blood sugar related to diabetes is the most common. Physical injury, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, vascular disease, and many other conditions can also damage your nerves and cause peripheral neuropathy as well.
Symptoms can vary according to which peripheral nerves are affected.
Your sensory nerves send messages regarding sensations like cold and heat.
Your autonomic nerves relay messages for automatic actions, like a heartbeat.
Your motor nerves relay messages for muscle movement. The typical symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:
Peripheral neuropathy symptoms can vary widely from one sufferer to another. You might have just one of these symptoms, or you could be overwhelmed by many symptoms at once, depending on which nerves are affected.
At Elite Wellness Center, the dedicated team uses an integrated approach to peripheral neuropathy treatment. Your care plan depends on the peripheral neuropathy type, the nerves affected, and your overall health. The team helps you recover by correcting the nerve damage, which is the underlying cause of the neuropathy.
