Neuropathy Treatment at Boca Pain Institute

Understanding Neuropathy: Causes and Symptoms
Neuropathy, often referred to as peripheral neuropathy, is a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. This condition can result in a variety of symptoms, including tingling, numbness, pain, and muscle weakness, primarily in the hands and feet. Neuropathy can significantly impact daily life, making even simple tasks challenging and uncomfortable.

There are several causes of neuropathy, including diabetes, infections, traumatic injuries, and exposure to toxins. It can also be a result of genetic factors or an underlying medical condition. Identifying the root cause of neuropathy is essential for effective treatment and management.
