There are many types of neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a term used to describe damage to peripheral nerves, which may impair sensation or movement. Common causes of peripheral neuropathy include diabetes, vitamin deficiency, medication side effects, chemotherapy, tobacco use and severe hypertension. The treatment of peripheral neuropathy revolves around treating the underlying condition, if possible. Persistent neuropathy pain can be treated with medications specifically designed to treat neuropathy.
Identifying the Signs of Nerve Damage

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the complex network of nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body becomes damaged. This interruption in vital communication lines can stem from metabolic conditions, toxins, or systemic diseases, requiring targeted medical intervention.
Uncontrolled high blood sugar and severe hypertension over time can severely damage the delicate nerve fibers throughout the extremities.
