What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral Neuropathy refers to a problem with the peripheral nerves that send messages from the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain and spinal cord, to the peripheral nervous system-the nerves then spread throughout the rest of the body. Peripheral Neuropathy is perhaps the most commonly diagnosed condition of the peripheral nervous system. Impairment of the peripheral nerves can result in a multitude of symptoms.
What are the Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy?
Impairment of the peripheral nerves can result in a multitude of symptoms. Most people describe neuropathy symptoms to be in their hands and/or feet. Even though symptoms of the feet and hands are most common, neuropathy symptoms can be present in other parts of the body. Our patients describe these symptoms most frequently:- Numbness
- Nerve Pain
- Tingling, pins and needles sensation
- Burning
- Heightened sensitivity
- Imbalance when walking
- Electrical sensations in feet and/or hands

What are the Stages of Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy affects each individual differently; however, many providers would agree that neuropathy progresses in a similar order:
- Numbness and pain
- Constant pain
- Intense pain
- Complete numbness or loss of sensation
The longer a person waits to seek out treatment options, the more extensive and severe symptoms can become, making reversal or recovery much harder for the nerves themselves.
An early diagnosis gives patients a better chance of getting proper treatment and chronic pain relief.
What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy?
While we know of many causes of neuropathy, there are likely even more unknown causes. For example, there are many underlying conditions that may increase the risk for developing neuropathy, including:
- Diabetes (diabetic neuropathy)
- Alcoholism
- Chemotherapy (chemo-induced neuropathy or CIPN)
- Exposure to toxins in the environment, like lead
- Traumatic injuries and nerve damage
- High cholesterol and statin drugs (cholesterol-lowering drugs)
- Infections, like Hepatitis C
- Autoimmune diseases (i.e., Lyme disease, HIV/AIDS, lupus)
Peripheral neuropathy treatment at Select Health of the Carolinas in Charlotte, NC, takes these several risk factors into account as well as other causes when treating neuropathy.
Is There a Cure for Peripheral Neuropathy Pain?
Peripheral neuropathy is a progressively worsening condition, meaning that over time the damage to the nerves increases and can cause an increase in the severity of symptoms. Nerves do have the ability to heal. However, they heal at a very slow rate.
Currently, there is no known cure for neuropathy. Fortunately, there are many safe treatments specifically designed to reduce symptoms and slow the progressive rate of nerve degeneration.
