What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition that occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or affected. It commonly causes symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning pain, weakness, or increased sensitivity, particularly in the hands and feet.
Peripheral neuropathy may develop due to diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, certain medications, infections, nerve injuries, alcohol use, or other underlying conditions. Identifying the cause is an important part of effective treatment.

How is Peripheral Neuropathy Managed?
Peripheral neuropathy treatment is tailored to the underlying cause, severity of symptoms, affected nerves, and overall health of the patient.
Treatment of the Underlying Cause
Identifying and managing conditions such as diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, thyroid disorders, or other contributing factors may help prevent further nerve damage.
Medication Management
Appropriate medicines may be prescribed to help manage nerve pain, discomfort, and other symptoms, depending on the patient's condition.
Blood Sugar Management
For people with diabetic neuropathy, maintaining appropriate blood glucose levels is an important part of protecting nerve health and reducing the risk of progression.
Vitamin & Nutritional Support
When nutritional deficiencies contribute to neuropathy, appropriate dietary advice and vitamin supplementation may be recommended.
Physical Therapy & Exercise
Selected patients may benefit from exercises and physical therapy to support strength, mobility, balance, and daily functioning.
