What is Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy is caused by damages to the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is what is sends messages to and from the spinal cord and brain, to the rest of the body.

There are over 100 different causes of neuropathy including:

  • Diabetes
  • Chemotherapy & Radiation
  • Trauma Induced
  • Post - surgical
  • Medications
  • Poor Nutrition
  • and so much more...

Neuropathy Symptoms

When the PNS suffers damage, it sends mixed signals to the central nervous system, causing the painful symptoms of neuropathy and disorientating your body. Some common neuropathy symptoms include:

  • Loss of coordination
  • Extreme sensitivity to touch
  • Numbness and tingling
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Ulcers and slow wound healing
  • Brain fog

Neuropathy and Brain Fog

Brain fog is characterized as feeling mentally sluggish or difficulty concentrating. While brain fog is not a medical condition, it is usually a symptom of other health issues. Brain fog is one of the most common symptoms I see in my clients. The inability to focus or concentrate on tasks can greatly impact their quality of life.
