If you are experiencing a painful pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, or weakness in your feet, hands, thighs, face, or back sensation, you’re not alone. Like more than 20 million people in the United States, you may be suffering from neuropathy, a chronic inflammatory condition caused by a dysfunction of one or more of your peripheral nerves. Nerve neuropathy is quite common among adults over 35 and, depending on its severity, can adversely affect your quality of life.
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when damaged nerves send pain signals from the peripheral sensory receptors in your brain. Besides severe pain, numbness, and a burning or tingling sensation, this nerve damage can result in a loss of coordination, cramping, the inability to feel, muscle weakness, and many more symptoms.
Although the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes, there are other medical factors and conditions that can cause nerve damage. These include:
- Injury to nerves through repetitive motions;
- A vitamin deficiency;
- An autoimmune disorder;
- An infection;
- Exposure to heavy metals or certain chemicals; and
- The effects of chemotherapy.
Fortunately, there are various ways to treat or at least manage nerve neuropathy by first identifying and addressing the underlying condition to help prevent further nerve damage and allow nerves to heal.
Conventional vs. Alternative Treatment for Nerve Neuropathy
For those with diabetic neuropathy, the first step in treating the condition is by getting the patient’s blood glucose level under control. Other conventional treatment for peripheral neuropathy includes over-the-counter and prescription medication, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), COX-2 inhibitors, topical creams, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, opioids, and surgery.
However, there is another option for treating chronic pain associated with peripheral neuropathy and other forms of chronic musculoskeletal pain without surgery or habit-forming medication that includes potential side effects.
