Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy involves damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, often causing numbness, tingling, or weakness in hands and feet. Physiotherapy helps improve balance and function.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Inspect feet daily for cuts or sores you may not feel
  • Wear well-fitting, protective footwear at all times
  • Manage underlying conditions like diabetes as advised
  • Keep floors clear of trip hazards at home

Don'ts

  • Don't walk barefoot, especially with reduced sensation
  • Don't use very hot water bottles or heating pads
  • Don't ignore small wounds on numb areas
  • Don't delay reporting worsening numbness or weakness

When to see a physiotherapist: See a doctor promptly if numbness spreads quickly, you notice unhealing wounds, or balance worsens.
