Neuropathy pain is a debilitating condition that can drastically affect your quality of life. At Quad City Neurology & Spine, we understand the complexities of neuropathy and nerve pain, offering comprehensive care to help you manage and alleviate your symptoms.
Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system, causing symptoms such as burning sensations, tingling, numbness, and sharp, stabbing pain in the hands and feet. This condition is especially prevalent in individuals with diabetes, but it can also be triggered by other factors like toxic exposure, genetic predisposition, or unknown causes.
When neuropathy pain strikes, it can feel as though your feet are on fire, as if you have pebbles in your shoes, or even a sensation of numbness while still being hypersensitive to touch. These symptoms can be constant or intermittent, often worsening at night when you are trying to relax and sleep. The discomfort can lead to difficulty in walking, imbalance, and an increased risk of falls, especially among the elderly.
At Quad City Neurology & Spine, our team of expert neurologists uses the latest technology to diagnose and treat neuropathy pain. Through a detailed examination, including testing reflexes, sensation, and electrodiagnostic studies like EMG/NCV, we determine the extent of your condition. We also consider factors like vitamin deficiencies or underlying health issues that might contribute to your nerve pain.
Treatment for neuropathy pain is multifaceted and may involve a combination of medications, topical treatments, lifestyle changes, and, importantly, diet and exercise. Our goal is to minimize your pain with the least amount of medication, ensuring you lead a comfortable and active life.
