Numbness, burning, tingling, pain. These are all symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, a disease that involves the nerves. Derived from the words “neuro” (nerve) and “apathy” (disease or death), neuropathy is a debilitating condition impacting over 20 million Americans, with numbers rising, particularly in the elderly. Contrary to common belief, effective treatments do exist, debunking the misconception that neuropathy is untreatable.
What Are the Common Symptoms and Causes?
Patients with neuropathy often experience a range of symptoms, including numbness, pain, cramping, and difficulty walking or gripping. Various factors contribute to neuropathy, with diabetes, poor metabolic health, autoimmune diseases, chemotherapy, chemical exposure, medications, alcohol, nerve impingement, and kidney/liver diseases topping the list.
Impact on Quality of Life
Neuropathy can significantly alter patients’ lives, leading to balance problems, falls, sleep deprivation, and depression. The risk of addiction to pain medications is also prevalent. Recognizing the need for comprehensive care, Back Care Plus offers a program that addresses symptoms and the lifestyle changes accompanying neuropathy.
