Neuropathy
What is neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a condition brought on by damage to your peripheral nervous system, the network that transmits signals from your spinal cord and brain to the rest of your body. With neuropathy, the nerves controlling various functions, including pain sensors, send the wrong information.
Neuropathy can center on a single nerve or many nerves in your body. The condition causes pain, weakness, and other symptoms in your hands, feet, and sometimes other parts of your body.
How can I tell if I have neuropathy?
You’ll experience one or more of these signs with neuropathy:
- Tingling, prickling, or numbing sensations in your hands, arms, feet, or legs
- Extreme sensitivity to touch
- Loss of coordination or falling
- Sharp, jabbing, throbbing, freezing, or burning pain
- Feeling like you’re wearing gloves or socks when you’re not
Your symptoms vary, depending on how severely your nerves are damaged and the location of your nerve damage.
What causes neuropathy?
Diabetes is one of the most common causes of neuropathy. Other conditions that cause neuropathy include:
- Chemotherapy
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Autoimmune diseases
- Injuries or nerve trauma
- Exposure to toxins
- Alcoholism
- Medications
- Tumors
Neuropathy can run in families. In some cases, there’s no precise cause for your neuropathy.
How is neuropathy treated?
Dr. Gaskill emphasizes an integrative, naturopathic treatment approach rather than simply prescribing medications. Dr. Gaskill focuses on the cause of your neuropathy and designs a therapeutic plan to treat the source of your condition.
