Your doctor will talk to you about your symptoms, review your medical history, and ask about any recent injuries or operations you've had. Your doctor will also check your organs and nervous system for abnormalities. If your doctor thinks you have a nerve injury after a neurological exam, he or she may suggest more tests. Electromyography (EMG). An electromyogram (EMG) is a method of recording electrical activity in muscles when they are at rest and in motion using a small needle electrode. Muscle weakness may be an indication of nerve damage. Analysis of nerve condition. Electrodes in two places on...

Patients with neuropathy in their legs and feet often have symptoms like a burning pain, numbness, prickling or tingling sensations, an intense throbbing, trouble standing on their own two feet, and trouble sleeping. Diabetes and knee diseases like osteoarthritis can cause neuropathy in the legs and feet, which needs to be treated by a doctor. While diabetes is still the leading cause of neuropathy, most of the world's neuropathy cases are caused by factors other than the disease itself. However, neuropathy has varied effects on different people. We accept most major medical insurance plans and have FDA and Medicare approval...

In clinical practice, injuries to the nerves around the body are common and often lead to functional disability. Due to a lack of background knowledge on pathophysiology, nerve repair outcomes were hit or miss in the past. Since Sunderland first discussed microsurgery in 1945, nerve repairs have been much more likely to work. In the last few decades, advances in microsurgery, knowledge of nerve repair, and ongoing research in molecular biology have made peripheral nerve surgery more successful. Nerve Damage Classification Neuropraxia, axonotmesis, and neurotmesis are the three main types of nerve damage. Temporary loss of function without disruption of...

Maintaining healthy nerves requires the B-complex vitamins B1, B6, and B12. These vitamins are called "neurotropic" nutrients because they help repair nerves and relieve symptoms like tingling and numbness. In addition to helping keep nerves healthy, the B vitamins work together to help heal damaged nerves and keep the nervous system in good shape. Taking a B vitamin complex may be more effective than taking the vitamins separately because each B vitamin contributes to nerve function in its unique way. Find out who can benefit from taking a vitamin B complex, how the three neurotropic vitamins B1, B6, and B12...
