Neuropathy refers to nerve damage that disrupts communication between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. There are two common types:
What is Neuropathy and How Can It Be Treated?
Peripheral Neuropathy
affects the nerves in the hands, feet, arms, and legs, causing numbness, tingling, burning, or sharp pain.
Diabetic Neuropathy
A form of peripheral neuropathy caused by long-term high blood sugar, most often seen in people with diabetes.
Other causes of neuropathy include injuries, infections, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune conditions. Symptoms may also include weakness, balance issues, and sensitivity to touch or temperature.
