Effective Options for Your Peripheral Neuropathy
If you are one of the over 20 million estimated people in the United States who suffer from peripheral neuropathy, Cary Physical Medicine is here to help. We specialize in providing peripheral neuropathy diagnoses and treatment options that'll help relieve some of your pain and get you back to the way you were before your peripheral neuropathy took over.
Peripheral neuropathy is a common yet very painful condition stemming from damaged nerves that carry messages from your central nervous system to your peripheral nervous system or, more simply, from your brain and spinal cord to the various nerves throughout your body. When the carrier nerves become damaged or diseased, you may start to experience pain, reduced moment and limb strength, weakened or impaired muscles, and more.
There are a variety of reasons you may develop peripheral neuropathy, one of the most common being diabetes. It can also develop based on poor diet, certain diseases, and other infections. Up to 30% of peripheral neuropathy cases develop from unknown causes and are considered idiopathic. Neuropathy can also be genetically inherited, but these cases are very uncommon.
The treatment options we offer at Cary Physical Medicine vary depending on the severity and cause of your neuropathy. One option we have available that many patients respond well to is prescription medications or capsaicin cream. If you would prefer to avoid prescription drugs, we also offer a variety of neurological treatments that stimulate the nerves to encourage them to start firing properly once again. Another option we have available is to set you up on one of our machines that stimulate increased blood flow to the area to help the nerves get the proper nutrition.
At Cary Physical Medicine, we've found that over 40% of our peripheral neuropathy patients have drastic lower back nerve pressure, which can cause dysfunction. If this is the case, we may suggest non-surgical spinal compression. However, there is no back pain associated with nerve pressure in the back about 75% of the time, making this a treatment option we rely on less for peripheral neuropathy.
If you're experiencing weakness or numbness, peripheral neuropathy may be the cause. Call Cary Physical Medicine today to take the first step toward finding the right treatment option for you! We have same-day services available, and don't forget to ask about our veteran discounts!
