Understanding Neuropathy and Nerve Pain
Neuropathy is damage to nerves that carry sensation and movement. It can cause burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, and electric shock like pain. Common causes include diabetes, vitamin deficiency, thyroid disorders, alcohol use, infections, and medication toxicity.
Early diagnosis matters. When treated early, progression slows and quality of life improves significantly.
What Symptoms Should You Watch For
- Pain or numbness that starts in toes or fingertips and moves upward
- Loss of sensation that affects balance
- Night pain that wakes you from sleep
- Muscle weakness, foot drop, or frequent tripping
Our Diagnostic Approach
We combine neurological examination, lab screening, and EMG NCS testing to identify the exact nerve pattern involved. This helps separate peripheral neuropathy from spine problems or muscle disorders and guides the best treatment plan.
Treatment and Recovery Plan
We address reversible causes first, then optimize pain control and rehabilitation. Medication is tailored to reduce pain while avoiding sedation or dizziness. Physiotherapy and foot care reduce falls and protect skin.
Long-Term Prevention
Stable blood sugar, nutrition, exercise, and sleep are essential for long-term nerve health. We provide a clear follow-up plan with periodic reviews.
Take the Next Step
If you are experiencing nerve pain or numbness, schedule an evaluation. Our neurology team will identify the cause and build a plan to restore comfort and function.
