WHAT IS NEUROPATHY?
WHAT IS NEUROPATHY?
Neuropathy is a form of nerve damage. Today, peripheral neuropathy – a term that means nerve damage to the extremities – affects more than 20 million Americans, with many cases going undiagnosed.
With peripheral neuropathy as the most prevalent form of nerve damage, it’s often associated with diabetes. Muscle weakness, twitching, cramps, lightheadedness, and numbness are some common early signs. Often starting in the feet and moving upward, it can cause severe complications like foot deformities.

CAUSES OF NEUROPATHY
There are a variety of causes for neuropathy, or nerve damage. Understanding these causes and discovering the root issue of your neuropathy is the best way we can begin providing personalized treatment and prevention recommendations.
With this in mind, here are some of the most common causes:
Diabetes
Diabetes can damage nerves over time through high blood sugar levels. Diabetic neuropathy is the most common form of this condition.
Autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can cause the immune system to attack the nerves of your body.
Trauma
Trauma from repetitive stress, accidents, and surgeries can cause nerve compression or severance.
Exposure to toxins
Exposure to toxins such as heavy metals, long-term use of certain medications, or excessive alcohol intake can cause damage to nerve tissues.
Viral and bacterial infections
Viral and bacterial infections such as shingles and Lyme disease can lead to neuropathy.
Vitamin deficiencies
Vitamin deficiencies, such as low levels of B1, B6, B12, and other vitamins are known to cause neuropathy.
Kidney and liver disorders
Kidney and liver disorders can lead to high levels of toxins in the blood, leading to nerve tissue damage.

SYMPTOMS OF NEUROPATHY
With as many causes of neuropathy, there are just as many symptoms that commonly affect the hands and feet. They can range from mild discomfort to severe and debilitating pain.

The earlier they’re addressed, the faster we can provide prompt treatment to manage the condition and help prevent further damage. Here are some of the common signs of neuropathy:
Numbness and Tingling
A common sensation in the hands or feet, often likened to a persistent “pins and needles” feeling.
Burning Pain
A lasting, intense warmth that can be present even while resting, often causing discomfort.
Sharp or Stabbing Pain
Sudden, severe pain that may feel like an electric jolt or shock.
Muscle Weakness
Challenges with movement or a noticeable decrease in muscle strength.
Heightened Sensitivity to Touch
An increased sensitivity where even a light touch can lead to discomfort or pain.
Eye Problems
Trouble adjusting from light to dark or far to near.
Balance Issues
Issues with coordination or struggling to lift the front part of the foot.

NEUROPATHY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
While many neuropathy cases arise from external factors like diabetes, toxins, or injuries, some types are inherited. Genetic neuropathies, also known as inherited peripheral neuropathies, can pass through families and often present symptoms similar to other neuropathy forms. If you have a family history of neuropathy, let your healthcare provider know so they can monitor your nerve health and offer preventative guidance.
Reversing neuropathy depends on its cause and severity. In some cases, especially if caught early, addressing the root issue can help reduce symptoms and prevent progression. For instance, managing blood sugar can slow or halt diabetic neuropathy. While full reversal isn’t always possible, consistent care and early intervention can improve quality of life significantly.
Holistic treatments for neuropathy emphasize natural approaches. Dietary adjustments, focusing on nerve-supportive nutrients like vitamins B1, B6, B12, and antioxidants, are essential. Supplements such as alpha-lipoic acid and fish oil may reduce inflammation, while physical therapy improves mobility. Acupuncture has also been shown to relieve pain, and lifestyle practices like meditation, regular exercise, and stress management support nerve health.
To prevent neuropathy from progressing, proactively manage underlying health issues like diabetes with regular blood sugar monitoring, balanced nutrition, and exercise. Avoiding toxins, including excessive alcohol and harmful chemicals, is also key. Staying attuned to new symptoms and addressing them early can make a lasting difference in managing the condition.
