Understanding Neuropathy
Many people living with neuropathy experience symptoms in their feet first, although the hands, legs, and other areas of the body may also be affected. Simple activities such as walking, driving, exercising, or even sleeping can become increasingly difficult as symptoms progress.
At Wright Chiropractic + Laser, we work with patients throughout Mequon, Ozaukee County, the Milwaukee North Shore, and Southeastern Wisconsin who are seeking supportive treatment options for neuropathy and nerve-related symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Neuropathy
Neuropathy symptoms vary depending on the nerves involved and the severity of the condition. Common symptoms may include:
- Numbness in the feet or hands
- Tingling sensations
- Burning pain
- Sharp or shooting nerve pain
- Sensitivity to touch
- Weakness in the legs or feet
- Balance problems
- Difficulty walking
- Muscle weakness
- Cramping
- Reduced coordination
- Feeling as though you are wearing socks or gloves when you are not
- Loss of sensation in the feet
Many patients report that symptoms are more noticeable at night and may gradually become more disruptive to daily activities.
Causes of Neuropathy
Neuropathy can develop for many different reasons. Some of the more common causes include:
- Diabetes and diabetic neuropathy
- Injuries and trauma
- Chronic inflammation
- Autoimmune disorders
- Circulatory issues
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Certain medications
- Repetitive stress injuries
- Infections
- Age-related nerve degeneration
Because there are many possible causes, identifying contributing factors is an important part of developing an appropriate treatment strategy.
How Neuropathy Affects Daily Life
For many individuals, neuropathy is more than an occasional inconvenience. Nerve-related symptoms can interfere with mobility, independence, exercise, work activities, and overall quality of life.
Patients may become hesitant to walk long distances, participate in recreational activities, exercise regularly, or navigate uneven surfaces due to discomfort or concerns about balance and stability.
As symptoms progress, some individuals find themselves limiting activities they once enjoyed because of persistent numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or weakness.
