Nerve Disorders
Nerve disorders, such as neuropathy or sciatica, can cause pain, tingling, or weakness. Our doctors offer personalized treatments to address the root cause, reduce discomfort, and help improve nerve function, ensuring you regain mobility and quality of life. Get the right treatment before the damage worsens. Whether the condition is mild or severe, we have treatments for all levels.
What Is a Nerve Disorder?
Nerve disorders, also known as neurological disorders, occur when the nerve cells in the human body malfunction. Various parts of the body are connected to the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These parts control movement, sensation, and coordination. Any damage caused to these nerves can result in cognitive or physical impairments based on the nerve that has been damaged. Many factors cause nerve disorders, such as injuries, genetic conditions, infections, autoimmune diseases, and poor lifestyle habits.
Peripheral Neuropathy(PN)
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where the peripheral nerves fail to send signals to the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. This is due to excessive alcohol consumption, infections, vitamin deficiencies, and diabetes.
Multiple Sclerosis(MS)
MS is an autoimmune disease where the immune system of the body attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers, causing damage in the central nervous system.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that affects the control of movement. It occurs when the nerve cells in the brain are damaged, resulting in a dopamine shortage.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive condition that leads to memory loss, confusion, and changes in behavior. It affects the brain's neurons and causes cognitive decline.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the wrist, becomes compressed. It often results from repetitive movements or prolonged pressure on the wrist.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurological disease that affects the motor neurons responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movements.
Prevention and Management
The following are ways you can adopt to reduce nerve disorders. Some can be managed through lifestyle changes or taking medicine. Some steps to maintain healthy nerves include:
Balanced diet: A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can help support nerve health, Regular exercise: Physical activity reduces the risk of nerve disorders, Avoid smoking and alcohol: Give up alcohol and smoking to reduce nerve damage, Monitor chronic conditions: Manage diabetes and hypertension to prevent nerve damage from getting worse.
Nerve Disorder Symptoms
There are many symptoms that can indicate a nerve disorder. The common signs seen in people who are prone to nerve disorders include:
-
Numbness,
Weakness of muscles,
Lack of coordination between the brain and movements of hands and legs,
Severe pain,
Sensitivity to changes in temperature and touch,
Memory issues,
Eye pain,
BPH - Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
BPH is a non-cancerous condition in which the prostate gland enlarges. While it is a common condition, symptoms may not appear before the age of 40.According to scientific studies, approximately 50% of men aged 51–60 and 90% of men over 80 experience BPH.Common symptoms include:Difficulty urinating , Frequent urination urges even with an empty bladder, Nighttime urination , A sensation of incomplete urination ,Weak urine flow
Painful Conditions
Painful conditions often occur during prostatitis but can also be associated with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Symptoms may include pelvic discomfort, ejaculation difficulties, genital pain, rectal discomfort, and back pain.
Disease Symptoms
As prostate cancer advances, disease-related symptoms can appear, such as fatigue, bone pain (particularly in advanced cancer stages), and weight loss.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive condition that leads to memory loss, confusion, and changes in behavior. It affects the brain's neurons and causes cognitive decline.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the wrist, becomes compressed. It often results from repetitive movements or prolonged pressure on the wrist.
Conclusion
Nerve disorders can have a significant impact on your quality of life, but with the right treatment and management, many individuals can live fulfilling lives despite their conditions. Early diagnosis, healthy lifestyle choices, and effective treatment plans are key to managing nerve disorders.
