Neuropathy Conditions
Neuropathy is a condition that creates nerve damage in the body. Although the exact cause of neuropathy is unclear, there are certain conditions that may make an individual more susceptible to developing it. Neuropathy is commonly caused by nerve damage or diabetes because of high blood sugar which can lead to nerve damage. Individuals with chronic illnesses such as lupus, arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders can also cause neuropathy.
Other common causes of neuropathy include:
- Alcoholism
- Genetics
- Medications
- Traumatic injuries

Peripheral Neuropathy
Nerve damage that is focused on the outside of the brain and near the peripheral nerves also known as the spinal cord. This can impact hand and feet circulation, and create weakness, numbness, or pain.
