About Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy (PN) can arise due to injuries, health conditions or other factors, but since most types of PN share common symptoms, treatments are often similar. Nutritional deficiencies may play a role and there is hope for restored nerve function.

What Peripheral Neuropathy Feels Like

Because nerves are damaged, you might feel a loss of sensation, pain, or odd sensations in legs, feet, arms, or hands. For example, you might feel like you’re wearing gloves or socks when you’re not. Or something as simple as putting shoes on or a blanket over your feet could cause stabbing, prickling pain. Loss of feeling can also lead to falls or trouble balancing while walking.

The Connection Between Nutrition & Nerve Health

Positive long-term outcomes involve more than just pain relief and symptom management. Key nutrient deficiencies can lead to impaired nerve structure, signaling and energy. When these nutrients are replenished, they can support processes in your body that help repair nerves and restore function.
