As the years pass, our bodies start to experience a variety of changes. For some of us, that means wrinkles and gray hair. For others, it means achy joints and a loss of muscle mass. And for many of us, it means dealing with peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the extremities. It's common in seniors for a variety of reasons.
First, as we age, we're more likely to suffer from conditions that can lead to nerve damage, such as diabetes and injuries. Second, our bodies become less efficient at repairing damaged nerves. And finally, the aging process itself can cause changes in the structure and function of nerve cells. As a result, peripheral neuropathy is a common issue for seniors, but there are treatment options available to help manage the symptoms.
