PNS dysfunction

PNS dysfunction refers to problems with the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. This can lead to symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain, often affecting limbs. Conditions like diabetes, infections, or injuries can damage the PNS, causing it to miscommunicate with the brain. As a result, the body may struggle with movement, sensation, or automatic functions like heart rate and digestion. Diagnosing and managing PNS dysfunction often involves addressing the underlying cause to help restore normal function and improve quality of life.
