Brain & Spine Centre provides specialized care for diabetic neuropathy and peripheral neuropathy in Kurnool. Our neurology team focuses on accurate diagnosis, effective pain management, and preventive strategies for patients with nerve damage. We offer comprehensive evaluation, medication management, and rehabilitation to reduce symptoms and prevent progression.
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves—the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes, most commonly affecting the feet and hands.
Nerve damage associated with diabetes and prolonged high blood glucose. It commonly affects the feet and legs and may cause burning, tingling, numbness, pain, or loss of sensation.
Neuropathy in which no specific underlying cause can be identified despite an appropriate medical evaluation. Symptoms are often managed based on their pattern and severity.
Nerve damage caused by exposure to substances such as excessive alcohol, certain chemotherapy drugs, some medications, or other toxic chemicals.
Long-term heavy alcohol use can directly damage peripheral nerves and may also contribute to nutritional deficiencies. Symptoms commonly include numbness, burning pain, weakness, and balance problems.
Certain chemotherapy medications can damage peripheral nerves, resulting in numbness, tingling, burning pain, or sensitivity in the hands and feet.
Deficiencies of certain vitamins, particularly vitamin B12, can impair normal nerve function and cause numbness, tingling, weakness, balance problems, or other neurological symptoms.
Inadequate nutrition or malabsorption can lead to deficiencies that affect nerve health. Identifying and treating the underlying nutritional problem is an important part of management.
Inherited disorders can affect the peripheral nerves and cause gradually progressive weakness, muscle wasting, sensory changes, and balance difficulties. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a common example.
The immune system can mistakenly attack peripheral nerves or their protective coverings. Examples include Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
An immune-mediated disorder in which inflammation damages the protective myelin covering of peripheral nerves. It can cause progressive or recurring weakness, numbness, and impaired reflexes.
A potentially serious immune-mediated neuropathy that can develop rapidly, often following an infection. It typically causes progressive weakness and abnormal sensations and requires urgent medical evaluation.
Occurs when a peripheral nerve is compressed or irritated as it passes through a narrow anatomical space. Carpal tunnel syndrome, caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist, is a common example.
Compression of the median nerve at the wrist that can cause numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in the hand and fingers, particularly the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring finger.
Compression or irritation of the ulnar nerve, commonly around the elbow, can cause numbness and tingling in the little finger and ring finger along with hand weakness in more advanced cases.
Nerve-root irritation or compression, often related to spinal disc problems or narrowing of the spinal canal. It can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that follows a specific nerve-root distribution.
Certain infections can affect peripheral nerves directly or trigger immune responses that damage nerves. Examples include infections associated with shingles, Lyme disease, or other systemic illnesses.
Shingles can affect sensory nerves and cause burning or painful skin sensations. Persistent nerve pain after the rash resolves is known as postherpetic neuralgia.
Advanced kidney disease can lead to the accumulation of metabolic waste products that affect peripheral nerves, potentially causing numbness, tingling, weakness, or restless sensations.
Thyroid disorders, particularly untreated hypothyroidism, can sometimes contribute to nerve dysfunction and symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Some cancers can affect peripheral nerves directly or indirectly through immune mechanisms, nutritional problems, or other complications. Neuropathy may also result from cancer treatments.
A rare neurological complication in which an abnormal immune response associated with cancer attacks the nervous system, potentially causing sensory, motor, or autonomic nerve dysfunction.
Affects small sensory and autonomic nerve fibers. It can cause burning pain, altered temperature sensation, tingling, or autonomic symptoms even when routine nerve conduction studies are normal.
Affects larger peripheral nerve fibers involved in vibration, position sense, and motor function. It may cause numbness, weakness, loss of reflexes, and difficulty with balance.
Primarily affects sensory nerves and can cause numbness, tingling, burning, altered temperature sensation, or neuropathic pain, often beginning in the feet.
Primarily affects nerves controlling muscles and can cause weakness, muscle wasting, cramps, or difficulty performing movements.
Affects nerves that control automatic body functions and may cause problems with blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, digestion, bladder function, or sexual function.
Early recognition and prompt medical attention are crucial for optimal outcomes.
Numbness, tingling (pins and needles), burning pain, or loss of sensation in extremities.
Muscle weakness, wasting, foot drop, difficulty with fine motor tasks.
Blood pressure changes, digestive issues, temperature regulation problems, and bladder dysfunction.
Sharp, stabbing, electric-shock-like pain, or hypersensitivity to touch.
Nerve pain and neuropathy require specialized neurological care to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
