What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

peripheral neuropathy treatment brisbane Custom orthotics are a great way to get the best from your current footwear without having to go out into the work in the hope that something better is available.Just as in the technological systems that we hold in our hands and work in front of every day, if something goes wrong with the body computer we can expect a malfunction to present. While the body is made up of nerves, the central nervous system includes the brain and spine, whereas the peripheral nervous accounts for all other nerves outside the central nervous system. There are three kinds of nerves included in the peripheral nervous system, which are, automatic nerves, motor nerves and sensory nerves. Problems with any of these can lead to problems requiring neuropathy treatment across Brisbane.

Here at Walk Without Pain podiatry clinics, we are the go-to medical service when things go awry in your peripheral nervous system and lead to pain or complications of the feet. We are a team of 9 podiatrists working across 4 clinics.

Our business is exclusive to Brisbane, which means that this is not a one-size fit all franchise operation that needs to satisfy shareholder demands to justify our existence. Instead, we prefer to keep things local and deliver world-class podiatry treatments at prices that are relatively affordable when compared to our competition.

Pain affects people from all walks of life, pardon the pun, which means that those from all parts of society can expect to be impacted, or see a loved one impacted by foot pain.

How Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment in Brisbane Works

We will discuss the treatment of the types of neuropathy in turn.
Injury: When we see people seeking Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment Brisbane, we will generally start by looking for signs of physical trauma to a nerve. This is mostly because, of all of the dozens of reasons you may get nerve pain in the feet and legs, this is the most treatable type.
As an illustration to better understand this mechanism of injury, let’s talk for a moment about Sciatica. Most people will know that sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve by a damaged disc in the spine. The disc substance bulges out and touches the nerve, compressing it and causing pain. What is less well known is that there are literally miles and miles or nerves in a leg. There are many points where a nerve goes through a muscle or a fascia, or even punches through a bone. They go around things, over things and change direction. It is in all these places that a compression of the nerve may occur. These can generally be treated very successfully with Neural Prolotherapy, even if they have been causing issues for years.
Diseases. As you might imagine, the outlook for these conditions is very variable and depends on the type, duration and severity of the disease. For example, having blood sugar elevated in the long term can cause nerve damage that cannot be reversed. Having blood sugar that is high in the moment can cause paraesthesia that will pass when the blood sugar lowers again. For a more in depth look at diabetes neuropathy management, please read out Diabetes and Your Feet info sheet for a more comprehensive discussion.
An important point about Diabetic Neuropathy: If you have got diabetes, and you have neuropathy, it does not mean that you definitely have diabetic neuropathy. Physical injury to nerves is very common in the general population and no less common in diabetics. It is quite possible to be a diabetic, have no diabetic neuropathy, and have a pressure neuropathy causing your symptoms.
For true diabetic neuropathy, treatment is aimed at two key tasks. Of most importance, it is vital to protect the feet from un-felt damage. Secondary treatment can then focus on reducing the unpleasantness of paraesthesia. We think that paraesthesia is so unpleasant because your brain is disturbed by feeling sensations that it knows are not real. This may be reduced by substituting real sensations that can drown out the fake ones.
Shingles or Post Herpetic Neuralgia. The pain that lingers after shingles has passed seems to respond very well to neural prolotherapy. We cannot help you while the shingles is still active. Consult your G.P.
Poisoning. Unfortunately, the damage to nerves from agricultural types of chemicals often occurs over a long period and there may be a delay of several decades in the symptoms appearing. As far as we can determine, there is no treatment to reverse this.
If a current medication is suspected in altering your sensation, you will need to work with your G.P. to sort through the possibilities. We are not the right people to help you with this.
If chemotherapy has caused your altered sensation, the effects do seem to diminish with time. Treatment with neural prolotherapy may help in some cases. Providing the feet with real information to report back to the brain may also be helpful for some people. Read More

Nerve Damage: What To Look For

If you are uncertain as to whether neuropathy for feet is a treatment that is appropriate for the discomfort, pain or complications that you are experiencing, consider the following indicators.

If a nerve is damaged there is usually a resultant complication or offshoot issue that presents further downstream, so to speak. As such, given that our feet and hands are counted as extremities of the body, issues are often felt there more when it comes to nerve damage. Numbness and tingling in your feet is a key sign to look out for that nerve damage may have been incurred that is causing this reaction.

Burning, shooting or stabbing pains felt in the feet is another red flag to look out for, and stems once again from trauma to the peripheral nervous system. This is something that should not be ignored and requires special treatment in order to alleviate and correct it.

Furthermore, those who may have experienced a weakening of the muscles in their feet or have experienced a loss of coordination where their feet are concerned should take heed and have this unexpected behaviour investigated.

Those that have diabetes types 1 and 2 most commonly suffer from damage to their nerves, as such, if you are among either group and have begun to experience pain in your feet, take action today to spare yourself continued pain that will only make your current treatment more demanding.
