Understanding

What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which carry information between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. This condition often results in numbness, tingling, weakness, or sharp, burning pain, commonly starting in the feet and hands (known as a "stocking-glove" pattern).

Nerve damage can stem from diabetes, metabolic disorders, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, or toxin exposures. Our clinical team focuses on identifying the root cause to halt nerve decline, relieve painful symptoms, and restore normal sensation.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy
Classification

Neuropathy Categories

Nerve damage is classified by its underlying trigger, guiding our targeted treatment approach.

Diabetic Neuropathy

The most common form. High blood sugars over time damage small blood vessels that feed peripheral nerves, resulting in chronic numbness or burning in the feet.

Metabolic Blood Sugar Stocking-Glove Pattern

Inflammatory Neuropathies

Autoimmune attacks on peripheral myelin. Includes acute Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and chronic CIDP, presenting with rapidly progressive muscle weakness.

Autoimmune GBS & CIDP Care

Nutritional & Toxic Neuropathy

Nerve damage due to vitamin deficiencies (such as B12, B1, or B6), chronic alcohol consumption, heavy metals, or chemotherapy drugs.

Neuropathy Symptoms

Neuropathy symptoms vary depending on whether sensory, motor, or autonomic nerves are damaged.

Sensory Symptoms
  • Gradual numbness in feet/hands
  • Tingling, buzzing, or pins & needles
  • Burning, sharp, electric pain
  • Extreme touch sensitivity
Motor & Autonomic
  • Muscle weakness or atrophy
  • Frequent tripping or foot drop
  • Balance loss or unsteadiness
  • Dizziness when standing up
Autonomic Risks

Autonomic nerve damage can disrupt internal systems, causing heat intolerance, abnormal sweating, and fluctuations in blood pressure or heart rate.

Diagnosis

Diagnosing Neuropathy

Diagnosing peripheral neuropathy involves checking electrical conduction speed inside nerves, combined with lab screens to pinpoint root causes.

1

EMG & NCV Studies

Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) tests and Electromyography (EMG) measure electrical activity in muscles to locate nerve compression or damage.

2

Metabolic Lab Tests

Comprehensive blood screens checking HbA1c (diabetes), vitamin B12 levels, thyroid markers, renal functions, and autoantibodies.

3

Quantitative Sensory

Sensory testing checking temperature shifts, touch thresholds, and vibration limits to identify large vs. small nerve fiber damage.

4

Skin Biopsy

A minimally invasive, 3mm punch skin biopsy to check intraepidermal nerve fiber density, confirming small fiber neuropathy.

Treatment

Peripheral Neuropathy Treatments

Treating neuropathy involves a dual approach: managing the primary underlying cause to halt damage and using advanced therapies to relieve pain.

Neuropathic Pain Medications

Calming overactive pain signals

Oral medications help desensitize hyper-irritable nerve fibers, reducing burning sensations and sharp shooting pains.

  • Gabapentinoids (Pregabalin/Gabapentin)
  • SNRIs (Duloxetine) or tricyclic antidepressants

Addressing Primary Causes

Halt ongoing nerve damage

Stopping progression requires managing underlying metabolic issues, correcting deficits, or clearing toxins.

  • Aggressive diabetes and HbA1c control
  • High-dose vitamin B12 supplementation

Balance & Gait Rehabilitation

Stability training for numb feet

Physical therapy focused on balance drills, coordination exercises, and gait retraining helps prevent falls in patients with significant numbness.

  • Balance training and fall-avoidance strategies
  • Specialized orthotic insert fittings

Immunotherapy (GBS & CIDP)

Advanced therapies for autoimmune neuropathies

For inflammatory neuropathies, we administer advanced therapies to block autoimmune antibodies and halt active myelin damage.

  • Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIg) infusions
  • Plasmapheresis (plasma exchange)
