BEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME
Appropriate treatment for you
As a result of nerve damage, peripheral neuropathy causes weakness, numbness, and pain, typically in the hands and feet.
The condition can be inherited or caused by traumatic injury, but diabetes is one of the more common reasons for peripheral neuropathy.
You may experience difficult in walking, climbing and descending stairs, standing, maintaining balance. Moreover, becoming easily fatigued and having a diminished ability to carry out daily life activities.
As with all movement and altered sensation after nerve damage, we strive to find the most appropriate treatment for you.
When a part of the body has difficulty moving and becomes weak, typically other parts take over and do more work than they should. This leads to an imbalance, which needs to be corrected so that the weak muscles can regain their strength, in order to achieve the best possible outcome and reduce the risk of falls.
We will look at :-
- Flexibility exercises. Movement will relieve stiffness and may help with immobility-related pain
- Tissue mobility techniques. Gentle stretching to prevent muscles becoming tight
- Muscle strengthening
- Balance exercises using proprioceptive and virtual reality platforms
- Splints
- Assistive device prescription
- Aerobic activities to help with fatigue
