Conditions We Treat

Nerve injuries and peripheral neuropathies

Whether caused by trauma, surgery, or degenerative conditions, nerve damage can disrupt movement, sensation, and overall well-being.

Through personalized treatment plans and cutting-edge techniques, we strive to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote recovery. Trust in our expertise to guide you on the path to renewed strength and vitality after nerve injury.

Understanding Nerve Injuries

Nerve injuries can occur as a result of trauma, compression, disease, or surgical complications. These injuries can lead to a range of symptoms, including pain, weakness, numbness, and loss of function. Whether you’re dealing with a peripheral nerve injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, or a more complex spinal nerve injury, our team has the expertise to diagnose and treat your condition effectively.

The recovery process for nerve injuries varies depending on the severity and extent of damage, as well as individual factors such as overall health and adherence to treatment plans. It typically involves a combination of rest, rehabilitation exercises, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing monitoring to track progress and address any setbacks along the way.

Preventing nerve injuries involves adopting proactive measures to minimize risk factors and promote overall nerve health. This may include practicing proper body mechanics, incorporating ergonomic adjustments into daily activities, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing underlying medical conditions effectively, and seeking timely medical attention for any emerging symptoms or concerns.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition that results from damage to the peripheral nervous system, which includes the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It often affects the hands, feet, and limbs, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, sharp or burning pain, and sensitivity to touch. Some people may also experience muscle weakness or a loss of coordination, making it difficult to perform everyday activities.

The underlying causes of peripheral neuropathy are diverse, including diabetes, infections, autoimmune diseases, exposure to toxins, vitamin deficiencies, and inherited genetic disorders. Chronic conditions like diabetes are among the most common causes, as high blood sugar can damage nerve fibers over time. Alcohol abuse, certain medications, and trauma, such as fractures or surgical procedures, can also contribute to nerve damage.

What’s the difference?

The key difference between peripheral neuropathy and nerve damage due to injury is that peripheral neuropathy is often a progressive condition, resulting from systemic causes like metabolic dysfunction or toxins. Nerve damage from an injury is typically localized and caused by direct trauma, such as a cut, stretch, or compression of the nerve. While injury-related nerve damage may improve with proper healing, peripheral neuropathy requires ongoing management to address its underlying causes and prevent further damage.
