YOUR NEUROPATHIC PAIN CAN BE CURED
Neuropathic pain is defined as any kind of weakness, numbness, or pain in the body due to nerve damage.
Neuropathy can affect the peripheral nervous system, the spinal cord, and/or the brain. It can be a symptom of a disease or a complication of several factors (arthritis, diabetes, cancer treatment, injury, shingles).
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common forms of neuropathic pain. Weakness, numbness, and pain are often located in the hands and feet, but could also extend from the torso into the entire upper or lower extremities.
In more serious cases of peripheral neuropathy, nerves that innervate the digestive system, the heart, and the lungs can become damaged and lead to more dangerous symptoms. This is called Autonomic Neuropathy.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Damage to the peripheral nervous system, causing burning, numbness, weakness, and pain to the affected areas. This is normally spread over a wide area.
Autonomic Neuropathy
Damage to the autonomic nervous system that innervates your visceral organs, such as the digestive system and the heart. When these nerves are damaged it can lead to low blood pressure, shortness of breath, and digestive problems.
Proximal Neuropathy
Also known as Diabetic Amyotrophy, this is described as nerve pain in the hips, buttocks, and thighs. This is common with age, and diabetic patients.
Focal Neuropathy
Focal neuropathy is defined as nerve pain localized in a small, isolated area of the body. This is the least severe kind of neuropathy.
