What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy
Neuropathy symptoms develop gradually and can range from mild annoyance to severe disability. They often start in the toes or fingers and progress slowly toward the legs and arms.
Burning pain — a deep, persistent burning sensation, especially at night
Numbness — reduced ability to feel temperature, pain, or touch in affected areas
Tingling or "pins and needles" — often the first symptom most patients notice
Sharp or shooting pain — sudden electric-like pains in hands or feet
Muscle weakness — difficulty buttoning clothes, opening jars, or walking
Sensitivity to touch — even light pressure (like a bedsheet) can be painful
Balance problems — difficulty walking on uneven ground, feeling unsteady
Worsening symptoms at night — many patients report significant nighttime pain
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, an evaluation can identify the cause and start you on a non-surgical recovery plan — even if you've been told nothing more can be done.
What Causes Neuropathy?
Identifying the cause of neuropathy is critical, because different causes respond to different treatments. Many cases involve more than one factor.
Diabetes
The most common cause. High blood sugar over time damages the small blood vessels supplying the peripheral nerves, leading to gradual nerve dysfunction. About half of all diabetic patients develop neuropathy.
Chemotherapy & Medication
Chemotherapy drugs, some antibiotics, and certain other medications can damage peripheral nerves as a side effect. This is called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and often persists after treatment ends.
Nerve Compression & Injury
Compression of a peripheral nerve — by a herniated disc, tight muscles, repetitive movement (carpal tunnel), or physical injury — can cause localized neuropathy that mimics or worsens systemic neuropathy.
