Conditions: Neuropathy Treatment

​​​​​​​

Neuropathy, or peripheral neuropathy, refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which can cause pain, numbness, sleeplessness, loss of balance, and weakness, usually in the hands and feet.

Neuropathy can have various causes, which can be broadly categorized into several groups:

1. Diabetes: Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common types, resulting from prolonged high blood sugar levels that damage nerves.

2. Infections: Certain infections, such as Lyme disease, shingles (herpes zoster), HIV/AIDS, and hepatitis can lead to neuropathy.

3. Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Guillain-Barré syndrome can cause the immune system to attack nerve tissues.

4. Trauma or Injury: Physical injuries, repetitive stress, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to nerve damage.

5. Toxins: Exposure to toxic substances, including heavy metals (like lead or mercury), certain chemicals, and some medications (especially chemotherapy drugs), can result in neuropathy.

6. Nutritional Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins, particularly B vitamins (B1, B6, B12), vitamin E, and niacin, can lead to nerve damage.

7. Alcoholism: Chronic alcohol abuse can result in nutritional deficiencies and toxic effects on nerves, leading to neuropathy.

8. Genetic Disorders: Inherited conditions, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, can cause peripheral neuropathy.

9. Metabolic Disorders: Conditions such as hypothyroidism and kidney disorders can contribute to neuropathy.

10. Other Medical Conditions: Conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus, certain cancers, and vasculitis can also lead to nerve damage.

11. Idiopathic Causes: In some cases, the cause of neuropathy remains unknown, classified as idiopathic neuropathy.
     

After both of Dr. Russ's grandfathers were diagnosed with Neuropathy, one of whom passed from the disease when faced with the impossible choice of losing both of his legs or his life, he set a path of extensive research helping individuals reverse nerve damage in their hands and feet. Using both proven treatments and cutting-edge technology, we will hand-tailor a treatment plan to get your neuropathy either reversed or stopped in its tracks so you can get back to living.
