Comprehensive Care for Nerve Health & Mobility
Peripheral Neuropathy in Kolkata
Peripheral neuropathy treatment in Kolkata focuses on managing damage to the peripheral nerves — the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. When these nerves are affected, it can impact sensation, movement, or even organ and gland function, depending on whether motor, sensory, or autonomic nerves are involved. Symptoms may develop suddenly or progress slowly over time, and the condition may be reversible or permanent depending on the severity of nerve injury.
The most common cause is diabetes mellitus, but neuropathy can also result from hypothyroidism, vitamin B6 or B12 deficiency, certain medications (including chemotherapy and some antibiotics), radiation therapy, excessive alcohol use, toxin exposure (like lead), autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or SLE, infections, or hereditary conditions like HMSN. Patients often experience burning or stabbing pain in the hands and feet, numbness, muscle weakness, balance problems, walking difficulty, and an increased risk of falls.
Diagnosis is usually based on physical examination and tests such as monofilament testing, nerve conduction studies (NCV), EMG, and sometimes CSF analysis. Medical treatment may include antidepressants, anticonvulsants, vitamins, antioxidants, or immunosuppressants as prescribed by a rehab physician to manage symptoms.
Neurorehabilitation plays a crucial role beyond medication. Through sensory-motor retraining, balance and gait training, electrotherapy, assistive devices, occupational therapy, and home modifications, the focus is on improving mobility, preventing falls, and restoring independence. At Rehabana, our goal is to help you regain function, confidence, and a better quality of life through structured, consistent rehabilitation care.
