SHAMIS TATE 5 TYPES OF NEUROPATHY AND HOW THEY AFFECT YOUR BODY
Peripheral Neuropathy This common form affects the hands and feet, causing tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness. It’s often linked to diabetes, infections, and physical injuries.
Autonomic Neuropathy When nerves controlling involuntary functions are damaged, it leads to issues like irregular heartbeat, digestive problems, and excessive sweating.
Proximal Neuropathy This type primarily affects the thighs, hips, and buttocks, causing severe pain and muscle weakness, making mobility challenging.
FOCAL NEUROPATHY Focal neuropathy impacts a single nerve, leading to sudden pain, vision problems, or facial paralysis. It often improves with proper treatment.
Hereditary Neuropathy Passed down through families, hereditary neuropathy can lead to progressive muscle weakness, balance issues, and foot deformities.
