Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder of the peripheral nervous system due to damage to the peripheral nerves resulting from a variety of causes like trauma,
infections, autoimmune disorders, systemic infections,inherited disorders, metabolic or endocrine disorders, toxic causes and vitamin deficiency especially vitamin B12.
Peripheral Neuropathy is of four types mainly-
1.Sensory neuropathy, in which part of the sensory system is damaged causing pain, tingling, numbness, or loss of sensation. It usually progress from distal to proximal i.e. it first starts in fingers or toes.
2.Motor neuropathy is characterized by damage to the motor nerves resulting in motor weakness and atrophy. Also symptoms of tiredness, heaviness,cramps, tremor, muscle twitch (fasciculations) and gait abnormalities are present.
3.Autonomic neuropathy is characterized by damage to the autonomic nervous system which affects blood pressure, heart rate, sweating, digestion, and bowel and bladder function.Symptoms may include urinary incontinence, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness and fainting.
4.Mixed neuropathy, in which two or more of the above mentioned types are present.

Really thanks for sharing this useful post !! This post is very informative and i have got very good information about physiotherapy . keep sharing !!
physiotherapy for the body
I was diagnose COPD and emphysema, and before I received herbal prescription from multivitamin herbal cure, it was affecting my day-to-day activities. For example, I wasn’t able to get dressed in the morning without reaching for my oxygen. Difficulties with small things like this also caused me to hesitate over going out to do errands or have dinner.All that changed in December 2018 after I received my herbal treatment at multivitamincare . org I can now leave the house without bringing my oxygen concentrator along. I also noticed that my wheezes less, and my attitude has become much more positive. I even gained back my weight and improved my daily activities. I’m a strong advocate for other chronic lung disease patients seeking help from multivitamin herbal remedies and says, “What they’ve done for me and my life, it’s been almost a miracle.”
