Introduction Symptoms Different causes Diagnosis Treatments

Neuropathy is a disease in which the nerves of the body are injured.  There are multiple diseases that could cause neuropathies.  The peripheral nerves are a group of cells that transmit information from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and the organs of the body. They also carry information back from the skin and the organs to the brain.  These are the nerves that are injured. For example when the brain wants to tell the muscle to move it sends a command to the muscle through the peripheral nerve.  When the skin is touched the sensation is carried back to the brain through these nerves.  When the nerves are damage the brain loses its connection with the muscles, skin, and the other organs of the body which could develope into a neuropathy.  All the symptoms that develop are as a result of the disruption of the link between the brain and the organs of the body. Today we have treatments that were not available a short time ago. Dr. Shaoulian is an expert in diagnosing and treating the most difficult cases.
