Neuropathies are a collection of medical conditions that affect the nerves in the body. They can be caused by many different things, such as diabetes, infection, injury, or toxic damage. Symptoms of neuropathies can include weakness, numbness, tingling, pain, and difficulty moving. Treatment of neuropathies depends on the underlying cause and may include medications, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgery. An accurate diagnosis is essential to decide the best therapeutic strategy. There are numerous tests that can be performed in order to define the cause and extent of a neuropathy.
