What causes neuropathy?
The peripheral nervous system is a part of your central nervous system which consists of the brain and spinal cord. There are nerves branching out of the spinal cord and extend to serve the extremities, (arms and legs in particular).
Causes of neuropathy are compression of the nerves as they branch from the spine. It begins here, before reaching it's destination, i.e., legs, feet, arms, hands.
Some forms of peripheral neuropathy are sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, restless leg syndrome, to mention a few.
Sciatica results from compression of the sciatic nerve from the lower back (lumbar spine) due to herniated discs, disc bulges, disc degeneration (spinal arthritis), and misalignment of the vertebra. This results in pins & needles in the legs and feet, numbness and/or pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by the compression of nerves in the wrist, resulting in pain, weakness and numbness of the hands and fingers. There also are neurological reasons neuropathy results from. MS is also a neurological cause of neuropathy.
