The term “neuropathy” refers to a malfunction of one or more peripheral nerves. Nerve cells that have been harmed are unable to communicate with the brain and body. The central nervous system is connected to the rest of your body by nerves. Damage to those nerves causes severe and painful symptoms, and it can affect any of the three categories of peripheral nerves: sensory, motor, and autonomic.
Damaged nerves transmit pain signals from peripheral sensory receptors to the brain, resulting in peripheral neuropathy. Severe pain, numbness, a burning sensation, tingling, lack of coordination, cramping, inability to feel, muscle weakness, and other symptoms are all caused by this damage. It can also have an impact on other biological systems such as digestion, urine, and circulation. Peripheral neuropathy affects more than 20 million people in the United States alone. It usually affects the hands and feet, causing weakness, numbness, tingling, and pain.
Diabetes is the most prevalent cause of neuropathy, but other causes such as chemotherapy, nerve injury from repetitive motions, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, infections, and exposure to heavy metals and certain chemicals can also cause nerve damage.

One of the most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy is an unusual, unexplained tingling, prickling, or burning sensation on the skin. This symptom is known as paresthesia.
Dysesthesia is a condition in which light physical contact of the skin causes pain. It presents as abnormal sensations on the skin which can include burning, prickling, numbness, and pain.
There are three different types of neuralgia, but each involves intermittent and often severe pain in a part of the body along the path of a nerve.
Other symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include loss of reflexes, muscle shrinkage, vertigo, numbness, and reduced (or even heightened) sensitivity to touch or pain.

It’s like I’ve been given my life back. Before starting treatment, my pain used to be very severe and I had so much trouble sleeping. It just felt like bees would keep stinging me! Even within just the first couple of treatments, my burning pain and swelling had already reduced greatly. It feels great to smile again.
