Condition
Peripheral Neuropathy in Lutz, FL
Types of Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It may affect a single nerve (mononeuropathy), several individual nerves (multifocal), or many nerves at once (polyneuropathy).
Causes of Neuropathy
Common causes include diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune disease, vitamin deficiencies, infections, and physical injury or pressure on the nerves.
Who Can Develop Neuropathy?
While it is most common in older adults and those with chronic illness, neuropathy can affect almost anyone — especially patients with poorly managed blood sugar or a history of nerve trauma.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis includes a detailed history, neurological examination, and may involve nerve conduction studies or blood work to identify the underlying cause.

Our drug-free program may combine Class IV laser therapy, spinal decompression where indicated, targeted nerve rehab, and lifestyle and nutrition coaching to support healthy nerve function.
