"Neuropathy is a medical condition caused by injury to the nervous system. Nerve dysfunction is characterised by numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and discomfort in the affected area. Nerve injury causes the nerves to transmit erroneous messages or no signals at all to the brain. As a result, you could damage yourself and not recognise it because you aren't in pain, or you could injure yourself and not realise it because you are in agonising pain while sitting on your couch. If you or anyone you know is suffering from nerve pain, call us today on (254) 580-8765 to book an appointment with our expert doctors. "
