What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy involves damage to the nerves, particularly those in the peripheral nervous system. This intricate system governs everything from movement to sensation and is crucial for transmitting signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. When neuropathy occurs, these essential communications are disrupted.
Peripheral neuropathy is the most prevalent form and is often associated with diabetes. It typically starts in the feet and gradually moves upward, potentially leading to severe complications like loss of independence, infections, and, in extreme cases, amputations. At Active Lifestyle Medical, we recognize how deeply neuropathy can affect your quality of life. Our approach is rooted in compassionate care and holistic treatment methods created to manage symptoms and improve your well–being.

Causes of Neuropathy
Neuropathy, or nerve damage, can result from various underlying conditions and factors. Understanding these causes is essential for effective treatment and prevention. Here are some of the most common causes of neuropathy:
- Diabetes: High blood sugar levels over time can damage nerves, leading to diabetic neuropathy, one of the most common forms of this condition.
- Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can cause the immune system to attack the body’s nerves.
- Physical Injury: Trauma from accidents, surgeries, or repetitive stress can result in nerve compression or severance.
- Exposure to Toxins: Contact with harmful substances such as heavy metals, certain medications, or excessive alcohol can damage nerve tissues.
- Infections: Certain viral and bacterial infections, including shingles and Lyme disease, can lead to neuropathy.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of neuropathy, it’s crucial to address the root cause. At Active Lifestyle Medical, we offer holistic treatments that target these underlying issues. Contact us today to start your journey to recovery.
