Neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nervous system, the network of peripheral nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, is damaged, a condition that affects millions of Americans each year. The common symptoms of nerve damage, such as sharp pain, muscle weakness, and balance problems, can be life‒changing and debilitating.
Diabetes, traumatic injuries, infections, and autoimmune disorders can cause neuropathy. However, there’s always hope with the right treatment plan. At Mosaic Spine and Knee, our approach to treating peripheral neuropathy begins with an accurate diagnosis, followed by a personalized treatment plan that often includes physical therapy.
