Peripheral neuropathy, characterized by discomfort like pins and needles, results from nerve damage outside the brain and spinal cord. It disrupts signal transmission to and from the central nervous system, affecting sensations, organ function, and mobility. Its eight main causes include diabetes, lifestyle factors, chemical exposure, trauma, medications, autoimmune disorders, unhealthy habits, and genetics. Prevention involves exercise, blood sugar control, foot care, and balanced diets, with medication consultation. For those with neuropathy, treatments include medications, surgery, specialist assessment, and innovative therapies. Though insurance may limit coverage, the potential for improved mobility and quality of life justifies the investment.
