Neuropathy & Nerve Disorders

Management of peripheral nerve problems including diabetic neuropathy, Bell’s palsy, facial nerve weakness, and nerve compression syndromes like carpal tunnel. EMG/NCV testing available where indicated.

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of one or more nerves, typically in the peripheral nervous system. It often causes numbness, tingling, burning pain, muscle weakness, or coordination issues, most commonly in the hands and feet.

Neuropathy can be a sign of an underlying medical condition—and early diagnosis is key to preventing permanent nerve damage.

Dr. Sushma Sharma, a leading neurologist in Faridabad, specializes in identifying and treating various nerve disorders with a personalized, root-cause approach.

Types of Neuropathy:

  • Peripheral Neuropathy
    Affects nerves outside the brain and spinal cord—commonly seen in hands, feet, arms, and legs. It’s often caused by diabetes, infections, or certain medications.
  • Autonomic Neuropathy
    Impacts involuntary body functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and bladder control.
  • Cranial Neuropathy
    Affects nerves originating in the brain, including those responsible for vision, hearing, and facial movement.
  • Focal Neuropathy
    Involves a single nerve, often in the wrist, thigh, or head (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome, Bell’s palsy).
  • Proximal Neuropathy
    Affects nerves in the hips or thighs and is often painful. It is more common in older adults with diabetes.

Common Causes of Nerve Disorders:

  • Diabetes (Diabetic Neuropathy)
  • Vitamin deficiencies (especially B12)
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome)
  • Chronic kidney or liver disease
  • Alcoholism
  • Infections (HIV, Hepatitis C, Lyme disease)
  • Chemotherapy or toxic exposure
  • Nerve compression or trauma
  • Genetic (Hereditary) neuropathies

Symptoms to Watch For:

  • Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
  • Burning or shooting pain
  • Muscle weakness or cramps
  • Loss of balance or coordination
  • Sensitivity to touch
  • Bowel, bladder, or digestive issues (in autonomic neuropathy)

If left untreated, neuropathy can lead to serious complications like foot ulcers, infections, or permanent nerve damage.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Dr. Sharma uses a combination of clinical examination and diagnostic tools such as:

  • Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Blood tests
  • MRI or CT scans (if central involvement is suspected)



Treatment & Management

Treatment depends on the type and cause of neuropathy. Dr. Sharma focuses on:

🩺 Treating the underlying condition (e.g., blood sugar control in diabetes)
💊 Medications for nerve pain (e.g., pregabalin, gabapentin, duloxetine)
💉 Vitamin supplementation for deficiencies
🏃‍♀️ Physiotherapy & rehabilitation to maintain mobility and reduce complications
🧘‍♀️ Lifestyle adjustments like quitting alcohol, exercise, and foot care education
