What is neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a general medical term used to describe damage to your peripheral nerves, which are the nerves that relay information to your spinal cord and brain from the rest of your body. These nerves are responsible for sensory (pressure, heat, and cold) and motor function (muscle movement and control), as well as control over autonomic functions (digestion).
The symptoms you experience with neuropathy depend on the type of damaged nerve, and may include:
- Pain, tingling, or burning
- Poor muscle control
- Muscle wasting
- Constipation
You can develop neuropathy from a range of causes, including an injury, medical treatment, or medications. However, diabetes is one of the most common causes of neuropathy.
How is neuropathy treated?
Traditional medical treatment for neuropathy focuses on managing the underlying cause to prevent further nerve damage, along with medication or surgery aimed at reducing symptoms. These treatments won’t cure your neuropathy, which can leave you feeling frustrated, especially if your neuropathy symptoms are affecting your quality of life.
