Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord become damaged, leading to a variety of symptoms that can impact your daily life. Common signs include pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness. In some cases, these symptoms can interfere with balance, mobility, and overall quality of life.
Early diagnosis and personalized treatment are key to managing peripheral neuropathy effectively. Addressing symptoms promptly can help reduce discomfort, prevent complications, and support better long-term nerve health. At Summit Health Group, we focus on comprehensive care to help you regain function, improve comfort, and enhance your well-being.
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that arises from nerve damage outside the brain and spinal cord, and its effects can be life-altering. Damaged nerves disrupt the normal signals between the body and the nervous system, often leading to tingling, numbness, burning pain, or muscle weakness. In some cases, this nerve damage can affect balance, coordination, and even the ability to perform simple daily tasks. Because every patient experiences nerve damage differently, understanding its impact is essential for recognizing early warning signs and preventing further complications.
The causes of peripheral neuropathy are diverse, ranging from chronic conditions like diabetes to autoimmune disorders, infections, and exposure to toxins or certain medications. At Summit Health Group, we focus on the full scope of nerve health, using comprehensive evaluations to pinpoint the source and extent of the damage. By understanding how nerve damage affects the body, we can create personalized treatment plans that relieve pain, improve function, and help patients regain confidence in their mobility and overall well-being.

Peripheral neuropathy can have many causes, including trauma, chemical exposure, certain illnesses, and diabetes.
