Peripheral Neuropathy & Muscle Disorders

Peripheral neuropathy and muscle disorders can cause persistent pain, weakness, and difficulty performing everyday activities. At NEUMED Clinics, we specialize in diagnosing and treating these conditions, helping you regain control of your life with advanced care and personalized treatment plans.

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, are damaged. This condition affects sensation, movement, and organ function.

Common Symptoms

• Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.
• Burning or sharp, stabbing pain.
• Muscle weakness or cramping.
• Loss of coordination and balance.
• Sensitivity to touch or temperature changes.

Common Causes

• Diabetes (diabetic neuropathy).
• Vitamin deficiencies, especially B12.
• Autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
• Infections (e.g., shingles, HIV).
• Toxins or medication side effects.
• Alcohol abuse.

What Are Muscle Disorders?

Muscle disorders refer to a wide range of conditions that impair muscle strength, function, or growth. These may include muscular dystrophy, myositis, or muscle spasms due to overuse or nerve dysfunction.

Symptoms of Muscle Disorders

• Persistent muscle pain or cramps.
• Weakness or reduced muscle strength.
• Difficulty performing basic tasks like walking or lifting objects.
• Stiffness or limited range of motion.

Advanced Diagnosis

At NEUMED Clinics, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms:

• Electromyography (EMG) to measure muscle activity.
• Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) to evaluate nerve function.
• Blood Tests to detect vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune markers, or infections.
• Imaging (MRI/CT scans) to assess muscle and nerve health.
