What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves in the feet, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, burning, or sharp pain. It is commonly associated with diabetes but can also result from other medical conditions, injuries, or nerve damage.

As nerve function becomes impaired, patients may lose protective sensation in their feet, increasing the risk of cuts, ulcers, and infections. Symptoms often develop gradually and may worsen over time if left untreated.

Proper evaluation is essential to identify the underlying cause and prevent serious complications.
