Neurology
Peripheral Neuropathy
Evaluation of numbness, tingling and nerve pain with nerve conduction studies.
Overview
Numbness, burning or weakness in the hands and feet often points to peripheral nerve damage — commonly from diabetes, vitamin deficiency or nerve compression. Nerve conduction studies help pinpoint the cause so treatment can target the underlying problem.
What this includes
- Nerve conduction studies (NCS) for accurate diagnosis
- Identification of diabetic and vitamin-related causes
- Targeted medication for nerve pain
- Prevention of progression and foot-care advice
When to consult
- Numbness, tingling or burning in hands or feet
- Weakness or wasting of muscles
- Nerve symptoms in a diabetic patient
