Diabetic Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a term used to describe nerve damage or nerve death. It can occur in the large nerves, which branch from the spinal cord, or in the small nerves found throughout the skin, from the top of your head, to the tips of your fingers and toes.
Damage to your large nerves can cause pain, numbness, pins and needles, weakness, or muscle wasting.
If your small, microscopic nerves become damaged, the usual symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain, burning, freezing sensations, pain that is electrical or crawling, or loss of balance.
The providers at Elevate Medical use the latest, FDA-approved therapies to initiate healing, decrease inflammation, and stimulate functioning of these vital nerve fibers.
The most common culprit of peripheral neuropathy is chronic Diabetes.
Diabetic Neuropathy is caused by an excess amount of glucose (sugar) in the circulatory system. This increased and sustained amount of glucose will damage the large and small nerve fiber endings.
Other causes are:
• chemotherapy and Agent Orange
• low back conditions such as spinal stenosis and disc bulging
• previous low back or large joint surgeries
• autoimmune diseases such as lupus, scleroderma, Raynaud’s Syndrome, and Rheumatoid Arthritis
• neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis or Muscular Dystrophy
• alcohol abuse and chemical toxicity
• prescription medications such as statins, or other cholesterol-lowering drugs
