Innovations Stem Cells can Help

Peripheral neuropathy affects millions of Americans, but if caught early, it can be treated and slowed down.
It starts as a tingle here and there. A sharp pain. Maybe some slight numbness. Some people even report feeling sudden, almost electric-like shocks. Over time, it gets worse. For many people, it never goes away. What is it? It’s the discomfort of peripheral neuropathy.

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy occurs as a result of damage to your peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves send information from your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body. This damage can be caused by injury, sickness, and exposure to toxins. Another cause of peripheral neuropathy is chronic illness, such as diabetes or kidney disease. When the peripheral nerves become damaged, they become inflamed. This inflammation can cause the symptoms we mentioned above, and also lead to weakness in the affected area. It can also cause changes in the skin in that area that can leave sufferers with skin ulcers and risk of infection. Peripheral neuropathy typically develops in the hands and feet but can affect other body areas.

Treatments for Peripheral Neuropathy

How Is Peripheral Neuropathy Treated? There is no cure for peripheral neuropathy, but there are conventional medical treatments that can help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the condition. It is critical that individuals who are experiencing the signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy get treatment. If they do not, the symptoms can worsen significantly over time, leaving sufferers living with chronic pain and discomfort. Many people living with the condition also report a reduced quality of life, as symptoms become more difficult to manage.
