Peripheral Neuropathy Specialist in Katy, TX

 Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged. These nerves control sensation, movement, and certain automatic functions. 

Neuropathy may develop gradually and can worsen over time without appropriate evaluation and treatment.

 Numbness or reduced sensation
Tingling or “pins and needles”
Burning or electric-like pain
Muscle weakness
Balance difficulty
Increased sensitivity to touch 

Symptoms often begin in the feet and may progress upward.

 Diabetes
Vitamin deficiencies
Thyroid disorders
Autoimmune conditions
Alcohol-related nerve damage
Medication side effects
Idiopathic (unknown cause) 

 Identifying the underlying cause is essential for proper treatment.

Evaluation may include:

Detailed neurological examination
Laboratory testing
Nerve conduction studies / EMG
Imaging studies, when appropriate

Accurate diagnosis allows for targeted treatment and prevention of further nerve damage.

 Treatment depends on the underlying cause and symptom severity.
