Neuropathy generally refers to a damaged or dysfunctional nerve. Peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord.
You may develop peripheral neuropathy from toxins, certain medications, and many health conditions, including:
- Radiculopathy
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Hypothyroidism
- Viral and bacterial infections
- Vitamin B12 deficiency
- Autoimmune diseases
Diabetes accounts for more cases of peripheral neuropathy than any other cause.
Your symptoms depend on the type of nerve that sustained damage. Damaged motor nerves cause muscle weakness, spasms, and atrophy.
Injured or dysfunctional sensory nerves may lead to pain, tingling, numbness, and a burning or electric-shock sensation.
Autonomic nerves regulate many body functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion. As a result, your symptoms vary depending on which body system is affected.
Diabetic neuropathy develops when high blood sugar damages your nerves. High blood sugar also damages the small blood vessels that nourish nerves, which leads to additional nerve dysfunction or death.
Peripheral diabetic neuropathy affects your feet, causing a gradual loss of sensation. Before losing feeling, you may experience tingling or sharp pain.
Without sensation, you can’t feel minor cuts or pressure sores on your feet. As a result, small wounds can quickly progress into diabetic ulcers and dangerous infections.
Another complication of diabetic neuropathy occurs when nerve damage in your feet affects your balance and coordination. As a result, you have a high risk of falling.
After reviewing your medical history and examining your feet, the team at Eagle Rock Medical assesses your balance and evaluates your risk for falls, as well as your risk of developing a diabetic foot ulcer.
Your provider at Eagle Rock Medical may recommend treatment such as neuromodulation, pulsewave, laser or regenerative treatments. training.
