Neuropathy

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. This condition can lead to symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness, often in the hands and feet. Neuropathy can result from various causes, including diabetes, infections, or toxins. It affects the way signals are transmitted between the brain and the body, potentially impacting movement and sensation. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to manage symptoms and prevent further nerve damage.
