Neuropathy comes from an assortment of disorders that affect the peripheral nervous system. The nerves become damaged and cause pain and weakness throughout the body. Pain is mainly felt in the hands and feet but can also affect other parts of the body.
“Over 20 million people in the United States suffer from peripheral neuropathy.”
Neuropathy is caused by damage in specific nerve pathways.
Usually, illness, disease or constant health issues damage the nerves.
Common conditions are diabetes, back problems, certain
medications, chemotherapy and diseases.
Those suffering from neuropathy generally feel numbness, tingling,
stabbing and burning pain sensations in the hands and feet. Motor
functions of the nerve may be damaged causing muscle
weakness, cramping, and spasms as well as a lack of coordination
and poor balance.

In the past neuropathy treatments have relied heavily on medications, which cause patients significant side effects and little to no actual relief from symptoms. Only recently has there been a promising breakthrough to help reduce the symptoms of neuropathy with lasting results.
