Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, causing numbness, tingling, and pain in the hands and feet. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including diabetes, infections, and exposure to toxins.
What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that occurs when there is damage to the peripheral nervous system, which consists of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. This can result in a variety of symptoms, including numbness, tingling, burning, and pain in the affected area.
Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by a variety of factors, including diabetes, alcoholism, certain medications, autoimmune diseases, and infections. In some cases, the cause may be unknown.
How we can help
A physical therapist can work with the individual to develop an exercise program that can help improve strength, flexibility, and balance, which can reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
The specific exercises used in physical therapy for peripheral neuropathy may vary depending on the individual’s symptoms and underlying cause of their neuropathy. For example, a physical therapist may recommend exercises that focus on improving nerve function, such as nerve gliding exercises, or exercises that focus on improving balance and coordination.
The combination of Softwave and Red light therapy has been proven to be effective in treating peripheral neuropathy in helping reduce pain and improve circulation.
