Condition

Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, the vast communication network that transmits signals between the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. This condition most commonly affects the hands and feet but can involve other areas as well. The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes, but it can also result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes, and exposure to toxins. In some cases, no cause can be identified. At Spinal Interventions, we work with patients to manage neuropathic pain through a combination of medication management, nerve blocks, and other interventional procedures designed to reduce pain signals and improve daily function.
