Understanding Neuropathy: Causes and Symptoms

Causes of Neuropathy

Neuropathy can be caused by several different health conditions and lifestyle factors, including:

• Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage nerves over time, making diabetes one of the most common causes.
• Injuries: Physical trauma from accidents or surgeries can lead to nerve damage.
• Infections: Certain infections, such as Lyme disease and shingles, can affect nerve tissues.
• Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus may cause the immune system to attack nerve tissues.
• Toxins: Exposure to heavy metals and chemicals can result in nerve damage.
• Vitamin Deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins (especially B vitamins) can contribute to nerve issues.
• Alcoholism: Chronic alcohol use can cause nutritional deficiencies and nerve damage.

Symptoms of Neuropathy

The symptoms of neuropathy can vary widely but commonly include:

• Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
• Sharp, jabbing, throbbing, or burning pain
• Sensitivity to touch
• Muscle weakness
• Lack of coordination or falls
• Possible paralysis if motor nerves are affected

Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive option that may help reduce inflammation, support healing, and relieve nerve-related pain.
