Understanding Neuropathy: Recognizing Symptoms and Effective Treatments
Neuropathy, a condition involving nerve damage, can manifest throughout your body, but when it affects your lower legs and feet (known as peripheral neuropathy), it can be particularly concerning. This is because it can impair your ability to walk comfortably and even detect cuts or injuries on your feet.
Identifying neuropathy early is crucial, as it can lead to a range of symptoms, including:
Extreme Sensitivity to Touch and Pressure: Neuropathy can make even gentle touches or slight pressure on your feet excruciatingly painful.
Coordination Challenges and Increased Fall Risk: Poor coordination is a common symptom, increasing the likelihood of falls and injuries.
Electrical or Stabbing Sensations: Some individuals with neuropathy report feeling sensations akin to electric shocks or stabbing pains.
Numbness or Tingling: Numbness or tingling in the affected areas is a hallmark sign of neuropathy.
Muscle Weakness: Neuropathy can lead to muscle weakness, making it difficult to perform routine activities.
If left unaddressed, neuropathy flare-ups can significantly impact your daily life and work. It's essential to have your feet evaluated promptly and embark on a personalized treatment plan.

Determining the Causes of Neuropathy
Neuropathy can result from various factors, with one of the most common causes being fluctuations in blood sugar levels due to diabetes.
However, neuropathy may also be attributed to:
Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can lead to neuropathy.
Trauma or Nerve Pressure: Excessive pressure or trauma on a nerve can result in neuropathic symptoms.
Structural Issues: Conditions like flat feet or overpronation can contribute to neuropathy.
Medications: Some medications may induce neuropathic symptoms as a side effect.
Inherited Factors: Inherited defects or genetic predispositions can also play a role.
Vitamin Deficiencies: Deficiencies in certain vitamins can lead to neuropathy.
Repetitive Motions: Performing repetitive motions, such as those associated with certain occupations, may increase the risk of neuropathy.
In some cases, neuropathy may be associated with tarsal tunnel syndrome, characterized by narrowing of the tunnel in your ankle. This condition can cause compression of the posterior tibial nerve, leading to pain. Regardless of the cause, effective neuropathy treatment options are available through Dr. Frank Henry.
