Peripheral Nerve Disorders

Peripheral nerve disorders affect the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, which connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body. These disorders can cause symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain, often in the hands and feet. Conditions such as diabetes, infections, or injuries can lead to nerve damage. Treatment varies based on the cause and may include medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes. Early diagnosis is important for management and can help improve quality of life. Understanding these disorders is essential for effective prevention and care.
