WHAT IS PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY?

Peripheral neuropathy is a frustrating, life impairing condition that is often overlooked until it’s too late to treat effectively. Common medical treatment consists of drug prescriptions like Gabapentin/Neurontin, Lyrica or Cymbalta. Unfortunately, these medications affect all nerves, not just the ones affected by neuropathy, and they only mask the symptoms. They also tend to lose their effectiveness over time, causing you to take more and more.

Peripheral refers to the hands or feet and Neuropathy literally means nerve damage.

There are numerous causes for neuropathy, ranging from diabetes to chemotherapy treatment and nerve compression syndromes. Most cases are diagnosed as idiopathic, meaning that the cause is unknown. Fortunately, recent advances in treatment are offering relief even for idiopathic peripheral neuropathy sufferers.

What Are the First Signs of Neuropathy?

The nerves in your peripheral nervous system are responsible for numerous functions throughout your body. The symptoms that you experience ultimately depend on the nerves that are affected. Your peripheral nervous system nerves are classified into three types, including:

  • Sensory nerves which receive temperature, vibration, pain, touch and other sensations from your skin
  • Autonomic nerves which control heart rate, your bladder, blood pressure, digestion and other functions
  • Motor nerves which are responsible for muscle movement control

The 43 pairs of nerves in your peripheral nervous system connect to your central nervous system, which is made up of your spinal cord and brain. These pairs of nerves can experience damage easily due to how fragile they are. When you have peripheral neuropathy, you can experience the following symptoms at the onset of the condition:

  • Prickling, tingling and numbness that come on gradually. These symptoms start in your hands and feet. Over time, they can go up your arms and legs as the condition worsens.
  • Sensitivity to touch, which can be a minor nuisance initially. As the neuropathy progresses, this sensitivity can become extreme.
  • Muscle weakness that can become more severe over time.
  • Pain in the affected areas that is described as jabbing, burning, sharp or throbbing.
  • A reduction in your coordination that can eventually result in dropping things or falling.
  • Sensations in your feet and hands that make it seem like you are wearing socks or gloves even when you are not wearing them.

When your autonomic nerves are affected, there are specific neuropathy symptoms related to issues with system regulation in various parts of your body. The symptoms that can indicate neuropathy of your autonomic nerves include:

  • An intolerance to heat that can become more significant over time
  • Problems with your digestive system, such as difficulty digesting foods, heartburn and similar complaints
  • Blood pressure changes that can make you lightheaded or dizzy
  • Bladder or bowel issues
  • Either not being able to sweat at all or sweating excessively
  • Increased difficulty maintaining normal blood sugar levels
  • Facial flushing and dry mouth

What is the Best Treatment for Peripheral Neuropathy?

There are a wealth of options in use today for treating peripheral neuropathy, so there isn’t just one answer. In many cases, people use a combination of treatments to reduce their symptoms and improve their mobility.

Medications

There are a number of medications that can help with the pain and other discomfort associated with peripheral neuropathy. In most cases, you will take these medications daily to control your discomfort and other symptoms over the long-term. The following medications may be recommended by a doctor:

  • Pain relievers: Those available over the counter, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, might be recommended. Ibuprofen is more commonly prescribed because it relieves inflammation. When your pain is acute and severe, a doctor may recommend a prescription pain reliever short-term, such as those that contain opioids.
  • Antidepressants: Certain antidepressant drugs that are classified as tricyclic antidepressants may be effective. These work to interfere with certain spinal cord and brain chemical processes to help to alleviate pain. When peripheral neuropathy is due to diabetes, some patients respond well to the antidepressants venlafaxine and duloxetine.
  • Anti-seizure medications: These medicines may help to disrupt overactive pain signal transmission associated with very sensitized or damaged nerves to reduce discomfort.

Therapies

In addition to laser therapy, there are other therapy options that may help to reduce your peripheral neuropathy symptoms:

  • Intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange work to reduce inflammation by suppressing the immune system.
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) helps to reduce pain via a gentle electric current.
  • Physical therapy can be beneficial for those who have muscle weakness as a result of peripheral neuropathy.

Alternative Treatments

There are some alternative treatments that have been scientifically proven to help to reduce the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Deficiencies in vitamin D and the B vitamins may cause this condition. Because of this, taking supplements or making the proper changes to your diet to restore these vitamin levels to a healthy range can help to reduce your symptoms.

Capsaicin is another alternative treatment option. It is a component of cayenne peppers and research shows that it can help to reduce the strength of pain signals in the body to alleviate discomfort. Capsaicin is a common ingredient in topical pain creams. You can massage the cream into the painful areas to reduce pain.

Warm baths can also help with neuropathy pain. When you relax in warm water, this helps to increase blood circulation. This can aid in reducing the numbness and pain that are common with peripheral neuropathy.

MLS Laser Therapy

MLS laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment option for peripheral neuropathy. This treatment method may help to improve circulation, stimulate functional nerve cell components and reduce inflammation. Poor blood circulation is one of the most common reasons people develop this condition. Laser therapy may help to stimulate better blood flow so that the peripheral nerves are getting the oxygen and nutrients that they need to be healthy.

Increasing the oxygen and nutrients that are delivered to peripheral nerves that are already damaged could help them to experience optimized functionality and repair. As a result, the symptoms you experience because of the damage would be reduced.

MLS laser therapy has an impressive efficacy rate of 85 to 90 percent when it comes to alleviating inflammation and pain. There are no known negative side effects, and the procedure itself is not painful. It helps to improve nerve function and vascular activity, serves as an analgesic to reduce pain, and helps to calm the inflammation associated with peripheral neuropathy.
