Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves, which carry signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body, become damaged. This condition can cause numbness, tingling, burning sensations, weakness, and pain in the hands, feet, and sometimes other areas. At ProCare Medical Group, we specialize in diagnosing the underlying causes of neuropathy and creating personalized treatment plans to reduce symptoms, improve nerve function, and enhance quality of life.

Symptoms & Signs

Peripheral neuropathy can present in various ways, often depending on which nerves are affected:

Numbness & Tingling – Commonly in the hands and feet, leading to loss of sensation and balance issues.
Burning or Sharp Pain – Painful sensations can be constant or intermittent, often worse at night.
Weakness & Coordination Problems – Weakness in affected limbs can make walking or daily activities difficult.
Sensitivity to Touch – Even light contact may cause discomfort or pain.

Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent progression and protect nerve function.

Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:

Diabetes – High blood sugar levels can damage nerves over time.
Injuries – Trauma or repetitive stress injuries can affect peripheral nerves.
Infections & Autoimmune Disorders – Conditions like shingles or rheumatoid arthritis may cause neuropathy.
Vitamin Deficiencies & Toxins – Lack of vitamin B12, certain medications, or exposure to toxins can damage nerves.
