Peripheral neuropathy is a neurological condition caused by damage to the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for carrying signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. When these nerves are damaged, individuals may experience pain, numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or muscle weakness. Nerve pain can significantly affect mobility, sleep, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

As an experienced Peripheral Neuropathy and Nerve Pain Specialist in Ghaziabad and Delhi NCR, Dr. Himanshu Shakya provides accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for patients suffering from nerve-related pain and sensory disturbances. His approach focuses on identifying the underlying cause of nerve damage and delivering long-term, personalized care.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when peripheral nerves are injured or diseased, disrupting normal nerve signal transmission. Depending on the type of nerves involved, symptoms may affect:

  • Sensation (sensory nerves)

  • Movement (motor nerves)

  • Automatic body functions (autonomic nerves)

The condition may develop gradually or suddenly and can worsen if not treated early.

Common Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy can result from various medical conditions, including:

  • Diabetes (most common cause)

  • Vitamin deficiencies

  • Chronic alcohol use

  • Infections

  • Autoimmune disorders

  • Nerve compression or injury

  • Exposure to toxins or certain medications

Dr. Himanshu Shakya carefully evaluates these causes to ensure targeted and effective treatment.

Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy & Nerve Pain

Symptoms vary depending on the affected nerves but commonly include:

  • Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation

  • Burning or stabbing pain

  • Numbness or reduced sensation

  • Muscle weakness

  • Difficulty walking or maintaining balance

  • Increased sensitivity to touch

Early recognition of symptoms helps prevent permanent nerve damage.
