Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which can result from a variety of factors, including diabetes, autoimmune disorders, infections, and exposure to toxins. This condition can affect sensory, motor, and autonomic nerves, leading to a wide range of symptoms that can disrupt your everyday activities.

Symptoms can vary widely depending on the type and extent of nerve damage but commonly include:

• Coordination Issues: Difficulty with fine motor skills or maintaining balance, which can lead to falls or accidents.
• Numbness or Tingling: A “pins and needles” sensation, often starting in the hands or feet.
• Pain: Sharp, burning, or throbbing pain that may be constant or intermittent.
• Weakness: Loss of strength in the affected limbs, which can impact mobility and balance.
• Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to touch or temperature changes, making everyday activities uncomfortable.

At NovaSpine, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to managing peripheral neuropathy. Our treatment options may include:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough assessment, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests (such as nerve conduction studies) to accurately diagnose your condition and determine its underlying cause.

2. Pain Management Techniques: Our goal is to provide effective relief using various modalities:

• Medications: We may prescribe pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, anticonvulsants, or antidepressants specifically aimed at managing neuropathic pain.
• Topical Treatments: Creams or patches containing capsaicin or lidocaine can offer localized pain relief.

3. Lifestyle Modifications: We provide guidance on managing underlying conditions, such as diabetes, through dietary changes, exercise, and blood sugar monitoring, which can help prevent further nerve damage.

4. Physical Therapy: Our rehabilitation specialists will develop a personalized exercise program designed to improve strength, balance, and coordination, helping you minimize the impact of neuropathy on daily activities.

5. Education and Support: Understanding your condition is crucial for effective management. Our team will provide valuable information on peripheral neuropathy, treatment options, and self-care strategies to empower you in your healing journey.

6. Advanced Therapies: In some cases, we may discuss advanced treatment options such as spinal cord stimulation or other neuromodulation therapies for more severe or persistent pain.d
