What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the nerves, which disrupts the body’s ability to transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. It often results in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, typically in the hands and feet.
While neuropathy is a common condition, the experience varies from person to person. Understanding its causes and treatments is the first step toward relief.
Types of Neuropathies
Neuropathy is not a one-size-fits-all condition. Here are some of the most common types:
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Affects the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, often causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the limbs.
- Autonomic Neuropathy: Impacts the nerves controlling involuntary body functions such as heart rate, digestion, and bladder control.
- Focal Neuropathy: Targets specific nerves, often leading to sudden pain or weakness in one part of the body.
- Diabetic Neuropathy: A common complication of diabetes, affecting various types of nerves and leading to symptoms such as foot ulcers or balance issues.
What Causes Neuropathy?
Neuropathy can result from a variety of factors, including:
- Chronic Conditions: Diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or kidney disorders.
- Injuries: Physical trauma or repetitive stress.
- Infections: Shingles, Lyme disease, or HIV.
- Toxins: Excessive alcohol use or exposure to chemicals.
- Medications: Certain cancer treatments or other drugs.
Understanding the root cause of your neuropathy is crucial for creating an effective treatment plan.
At Granite State Pain Associates, we take a multidisciplinary approach to neuropathy treatment. Your personalized care plan may include the following evidence-based solutions:
For patients experiencing significant pain, therapeutic injections can provide targeted relief. These injections work by reducing inflammation and calming overactive nerves, offering long-lasting results.
Finding the right balance of medications is key to managing neuropathy symptoms. Our specialists work closely with you to prescribe and adjust medications that can alleviate pain, reduce nerve irritation, and improve your overall well-being.
Physical therapy focuses on improving strength, flexibility, and circulation to support nerve health. Customized exercises can reduce pain, enhance mobility, and help prevent further nerve damage.
