Neuropathies

Neuropathy refers to general diseases or malfunctions of the nerves. Nerves at any location in the body can be damaged from a number of different diseases, injuries, infections, and deficiencies.

At Plexus, we offer excellent treatment for all types of neuropathies:

• Peripheral neuropathy Affects the nerves of the extremities — toes, feet, legs, fingers, hands, and arms
• Proximal neuropathy Nerve damage that specifically causes pain in the shoulders, thighs, hips, or buttocks
• Cranial neuropathy Characterized by damage to any of the 12 cranial nerves (nerves that directly exit the brain)
• Autonomic neuropathy Damage to nerves of the involuntary nervous system, which controls circulation, digestion, bowel and bladder function, and perspiration
• Focal neuropathy Nerve damage that is restricted to one nerve or group of nerves
