Request an AppointmentWhat Is Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or don’t function properly. These nerves carry signals for sensation, movement, and even automatic functions like circulation. When they’re damaged, you may feel abnormal sensations, lose feeling, or experience weakness. Symptoms usually begin in the toes and feet and may gradually move up the legs or appear in the hands.
Common Causes of Neuropathy
- Diabetes and blood sugar imbalances
- Vitamin deficiencies, especially B vitamins
- Chemotherapy and certain medications
- Poor circulation
- Injuries or nerve compression
- Spinal problems such as herniated discs
- Alcohol use and autoimmune conditions
