Find Relief from Painful Neuropathy with Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach
Peripheral neuropathy, a disorder affecting the peripheral nerves, can lead to symptoms such as weakness, numbness, tingling, pain, and balance problems. It often impacts the hands and feet, making everyday tasks challenging. While many patients are prescribed medications like gabapentin, neurontin, or cymbalta and told to manage the pain, it’s important to know that peripheral neuropathy can often be controlled and even corrected, especially with early diagnosis.
This condition is more common than you might think, affecting an estimated 24 million Americans. While it can occur at any age, it predominantly affects older adults. In fact, 8-9% of Medicare recipients have peripheral neuropathy, costing Medicare over $3.5 billion annually.
Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy: Peripheral neuropathy can result from various causes, including:
- Idiopathic origins (unknown cause) accounting for approximately 30%
- Diabetes, another 30%
- Other causes such as autoimmune disorders, tumors, hereditary factors, nutritional imbalances, infections, or toxins
The condition damages the nerve axons in the peripheral nervous system, often leading to pain and numbness. It affects both motor nerves, which control muscle movement, and sensory nerves, which detect sensations. Autonomic neuropathy can also impact internal organs like the heart, bladder, and intestines, causing a characteristic burning or tingling pain.
