Nerve Damage

Peripheral nerves send messages from your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body, helping you do things such as sensing that your feet are cold/warm and moving your muscles so that you can walk.

Peripheral nerve damage can occur due to:

• Injury from an accident, a fall or sports-related injuries.
• Medical conditions, such as diabetes, Guillain-Bare syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome.
• Nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin B6 and B 12
• Autoimmune diseases including lupus, rheumatoid arthritis etc.

Some of the symptoms associated with nerve damage are:

• Muscle Weakness and / or Muscle atrophy
• Paralysis
• Poor Sensitivity
• Numbness, Tingling or prickling
• Burning sensation
