Neuropathy can affect sensory nerves that control sensation; injury to these nerves can cause tingling, numbness, or weakness in limbs. It also can affect motor nerves, which help with power and movement; any damage can cause the weakening of the feet and hands. And it can affect autonomic nerves that control body systems like the digestive or cardiovascular system; damage to these nerves can negatively affect heart rate, blood pressure, and other functions.

We will begin treatment by putting the patient through a detailed medical exam to determine the severity of the Neuropathy. Different tests are given to patients to assess the state and cause of the nerve damage. Once the cause is established and the area of the nerve damage is found, our doctor will determine the appropriate treatment regimen needed to control the symptoms. In some cases, the root of the nerve damage is eliminated.
