Peripheral neuropathy is a neurological condition that occurs due to damage to the peripheral nerves, which carry signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. It can cause pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning sensations, most commonly affecting the hands and feet.
Under the expert care of Dr. Manish Salunkhe, patients undergo thorough neurological evaluation to identify the underlying cause and receive personalized treatment aimed at symptom relief and preventing further nerve damage.
Symptoms may gradually worsen if left untreated, making early consultation important.
Peripheral neuropathy can develop due to various underlying conditions, including:
Diagnosis involves detailed history taking, neurological examination, and may include nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and blood investigations to determine the cause. Early detection helps in preventing progression and complications.
Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms effectively. Management may include:
Personalized treatment plans are designed to improve comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life.
