Neuropathy

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy, also referred to as peripheral neuropathy, is not a single health condition per se, but rather a term used to describe a wide range of health problems often resulting in weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet. The most commons symptoms of neuropathy include:

  • Tingling
  • Pins and needles
  • Numbness
  • Loss of feeling
  • Chronic or acute pain
  • Balance problems
  • Burning sensation
  • Shooting pains
  • Extreme sensitivity to hot or cold

What causes Neuropathy?

While diabetes is the leading cause of neuropathy, it is also caused by other metabolic conditions, herpes zoster infection, HIV-related infection, nutritional deficiencies, toxins, and genetic and immune disorders.

 

In some cases, neuropathy may be a result of cancer that causes a direct compression of the tumor on the nerves, or as a result of chemotherapy or radiation treatment. In addition, compression of the nerves exiting the spine from a compressed or herniated disc is another common cause of neuropathy.

What Neuropathy conditions do you treat?

Utilizing a combination of state-of-the-art technology and a series of innovative treatment protocols custom-tailored to our patients’ individual conditions, Advanced Physical Medicine has successfully treated a variety of neuropathy symptoms caused by:

  • Diabetes
  • Chemotherapy
  • Malnutrition

  • Sciatica
  • And more

Will the results last or will I need to keep coming back?

Advanced Physical Medicine has seen long lasting results in many cases, oftentimes permanent. Especially when treatment protocols and recommendations are followed by our patients. The best results often stem from patients doing their part to address the root cause of their neuropathy. Be it diabetes, poor lifestyle choices, or lack of exercise, the more positive health changes a patient chooses to make, the more successful and longer lasting their results tend to be.
