Neuropathy Treatment in New Delhi

Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.

Overview

Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. It commonly produces burning, tingling, numbness or weakness, often starting in the feet and gradually progressing upwards.

Identifying the cause is essential, because many forms of neuropathy are treatable when addressed early. Diabetes is the most common cause, but vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, infections and medications can all be responsible.

Symptoms

Burning or tingling in feet or hands
Numbness — 'walking on cotton'
Sharp electric-shock-like pains
Weakness in feet or grip
Loss of balance, especially in the dark
Sensitivity to light touch
Foot ulcers that heal slowly
Cramping at night

Causes

Diabetes

The single most common cause worldwide.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency

An eminently reversible cause if detected in time.

Alcohol Excess

Long-term alcohol use directly damages peripheral nerves.

Autoimmune Disease

Conditions like GBS or CIDP need specific immunotherapy.

Thyroid & Kidney Disease

Metabolic disturbances can produce neuropathy.

Medication & Toxins

Some chemotherapy and exposures can damage nerves.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many cases improve significantly once the underlying cause — such as B12 deficiency or poor diabetes control — is treated.

Blood tests for diabetes, vitamins, thyroid and autoimmune markers, and a nerve conduction study to confirm and characterise the neuropathy.

Small-fibre neuropathy commonly causes night-time burning. Specific medications can give substantial relief.

Tight blood sugar control, regular foot care and early neurology review markedly reduce the risk and progression.
