Peripheral neuropathy, in short, is the progressive degeneration of the nerves in the body that make you move and make you feel. Living with peripheral neuropathy presents a myriad of challenges that extend beyond physical discomfort. The constant tingling, numbness and pain can disrupt daily activities, making even the simplest tasks seem daunting.

For some, the condition progresses to the point of affecting mobility and coordination, leading to a loss of independence. Sufferers of peripheral neuropathy might even feel like their lives have been stolen from them.

Emotionally, the toll is significant. Coping with chronic pain and uncertainty about the future takes a toll on mental health. Anxiety and depression are common among neuropathy sufferers, exacerbated by the frustration of navigating a medical landscape often filled with trial-and-error treatments.

Furthermore, peripheral neuropathy can strain relationships, as loved ones struggle to understand the invisible burden their family member carries. The inability to fully participate in social events or engage in hobbies can add to feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Unfortunately, the treatment of peripheral neuropathy continues to be an enigma for medical professionals, who usually resort to prescribing multiple medications for symptom relief while the underlying condition continues to progress. Now, with new research and new innovative techniques, peripheral neuropathy can be slowed down, with significant symptom relief, with a return to a near normal that had been taken from patients who experience this condition.

PC Medical Centers is the only clinic in the area directly treating the causes of peripheral neuropathy in a new, multifaceted, medically-integrated way.
