Peripheral neuropathy is a chronic condition that leads to damage to the nerves outside of your spinal column and brain. If you suffer from electrical or burning pains, or even numbness in your extremities, the leading physicians at Summit Pain Alliance in Santa Rosa and Petaluma, California, can help. Before your peripheral neuropathy worsens any further, book an evaluation through the website or over the phone with either office.
Your peripheral nervous system is responsible for delivering signals from your central nervous system to other areas of your body. These nerves even send sensory signals to your brain, which is why you feel discomfort if any of your peripheral nerves are damaged.

You can even develop peripheral neuropathy because of severe vitamin deficiencies, particularly if you’re low in B vitamins or vitamin E.
Each nerve in your peripheral nervous system has its own special job to perform. Because of this, the symptoms you experience vary based on the affected nerve (or nerves).
It’s important to let your doctor at Summit Pain Alliance know about any of the following issues you may be having:
Peripheral neuropathy also leads to muscle weakness in many cases. You may find that holding on to your cup of coffee or even writing with a pen can become quite difficult.
