Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves help control sensations and movement in the body. When they are damaged, it can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness, often starting in the hands or feet. Common causes include diabetes, infections, injuries, and certain medications. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and addressing the underlying causes. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and personalized management options.
