NEUROPATHY
Neuropathy (also known as peripheral neuropathy) is a disease of nerves in the legs and also in the hands that gives pain, numbness, burning sensation and weakness to the patient. Some diseases like diabetes and lupus also cause neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is caused by disarrays that occur with diabetes that injures small blood vessel that supply the nerves. Lupus neuropathy occurs through systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) which is an unpredictable disease that harms body cells and tissue, causing inflammation and tissue damage.
Even though there are medications that are used for this condition, they are sometimes ineffective. At Penn Medical Services, timely diagnosis of the source of disease and precise treatment would lessen the progress of the disease and control the pain.
A combination of prolotherapy with medication is found to be more effective for this condition with the experience gained by Dr. Shan Nagendra at Penn Medical Services.
