Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a nerve pain condition that results from nerve damage due to underlying conditions, injuries, or medications often taken for other chronic medical conditions.
It is one of the most complicated conditions because there are dozens of causes and symptoms that also range from mild to severe. Because of the range of symptoms and their severity, understanding the causes of peripheral neuropathy is essential in order to avoid a false and premature self-diagnosis.
Causes: Beginning with most likely
- Diabetes
- Hormone Imbalance or other biological imbalances
- Medications
- Injury
- Genetics
Common sensations of peripheral neuropathy are:
- pain,
- burning,
- numbness,
- tingling,
- imbalance, and
- general discomfort in the affected limb.
If you experience any of these conditions (especially in the case of diabetes) you may be experiencing peripheral neuropathy and its related symptoms.
Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment
Regardless of the cause of a patient’s peripheral neuropathy, there are several treatments that can address its frustrating symptoms and complications.
In the case of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, the answer is lifestyle management and a constant effort to balance insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance.
Hormone imbalances may be tested and addressed, injuries may be evaluated and addressed, and medication-induced neuropathy may not be avoidable if the medication is essential for treatment in another condition.
Neuropathy is complex and there may be multiple contributing causes combined to create the symptoms reported above.
Drug-Free And Surgery-Free Treatment Is Possible
Some patients may also choose to undergo expensive surgeries and risky implants to address the pain. Other, more simple solutions include the use of pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, or even opioids in severe cases of chronic neuropathy.
However, there are drug-free and surgery-free solutions that can treat peripheral neuropathy and address underlying health that may be both simple and lasting.
