Neuropathy Causes & Symptoms
Several health issues can cause or complicate neuropathy, including diabetes, trauma to the body, autoimmune diseases or dysfunctions, poison exposure, disorders of the kidneys and liver, vascular diseases, medications, alcoholism, and vitamin imbalances.
This condition typically begins in the hands and feet, but it can start in other body parts as well. Additionally, neuropathy can begin in the extremities and spread to other parts of the body over time.
Neuropathy is also called peripheral neuropathy, as many cases of neuropathy involved the peripheral nervous system (the nerve network that resides outside the brain and spinal cord).

Neuropathy Treatment
Neuropathy can be a difficult condition to manage, and often, it brings with it a selection of additional issues that need to be addressed. For example, neuropathy usually causes physical pain, and when that pain is constant, it can affect an individual’s mental health.
Pain management, pain reduction, and combating the depressive effects of neuropathy are key components of the treatment process.
