My Feet are Killing Me – Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy can be devastating disorder affecting all facets of life. Numbness and pain commonly begin in the feet, but may include the legs, hands and arms. In many patients, the pain is worse at night or after exercise.

We awaken your dormant nerves and return you to an active, pain free and fulfilling life.Peripheral Neuropathy is not a single disease, but rather is the result of conditions such as traumatic injuries, lumbar disc herniations, metabolic disorders (commonly Diabetes), use of statin drugs (cholesterol lowering drugs), and exposure to toxins.

Regardless of the cause of the Peripheral Neuropathy, the effect on the nerves is the same. Damage from the above mentioned conditions decrease the oxygen and nutrient supply to nerves, causing them to atrophy and become dormant.

Peripheral Neuropathy typically begins in the longest nerves that reach down to your toes, which is why most sufferers will have pain in the feet and legs. Symptoms and their severity between patients will vary, depending on which types of nerves are affected and the degree of damage. Signs and symptoms include:

  • Numbness and tingling in your feet or hands, which may spread upwards into your legs and arms
  • Burning pain
  • Sharp, jabbing or electric-like pain
  • Extreme sensitivity to touch
  • Lack of coordination
  • Muscle weakness or paralysis
  • Bowel or bladder problems

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
