Your body’s nervous system has two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains your brain and your spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system sends information from the central nervous system to the rest of the body, by way of nerves that go throughout the body. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that can result from diabetes, injury, infection, inheritance, or toxin exposure. This condition causes weakness, pain, and numbness to the body, usually in the feet. However, this condition can be treated and the symptoms reduced, with the help of Dr. Forman.
