Peripheral neuropathy is a crippling health issue that impacts many millions of people every year in the United States. It takes place when deterioration or disease has developed in the nerves that transmit messages from the brain and spine to the rest of the body.
Peripheral nerves come from the spinal cord and spread out along lines in the body called dermatomes. When one of these nerves gets damaged, it can impair numerous dermatomes, causing pain to emit out to specific areas of the body.
This form of nerve damage can interrupt communication between the brain and other portions of the body. It also can impair muscle movement, hinder normal feeling in the arms and legs, and result in pain which can be extreme.
Sources Of Peripheral Neuropathy
People develop peripheral neuropathy for several reasons. It may be a result of diabetes, poor diet, illness, or infection. It also can be genetic, although this is not as prevalent.
Occasionally, the original cause of peripheral neuropathy is never established. This is referred to as idiopathic neuropathy and as many as an one third of all people with peripheral neuropathy fall into this category.
