Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that occurs when the peripheral nerves—responsible for transmitting information between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body—are damaged. This can result in symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, muscle weakness, and coordination problems. Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by diabetes, infections, autoimmune disorders, trauma, toxins, and other medical conditions.
At our center, we offer a comprehensive approach to managing peripheral neuropathy, aiming to reduce symptoms, improve nerve function, and enhance quality of life.
