Neuropathy or Peripheral Neuropathy refers to the injury or damage to multiple nerves located in your arms and legs or peripheral nervous system. The brain and spinal cord are connected with all the parts of the body through a network of nerves and that network is called the peripheral nervous system. When damage or injury takes place in the peripheral nervous system, the communication happening between the brain, spinal cord, and the entire body gets interrupted. Such a condition may result in neuropathic pain or syndrome. Dr. Patel, the Peripheral neuropathy specialist in Houston, Texas, suggests neuropathy treatment for patients who are suffering from neuropathy and experiencing common symptoms such as sharp pain, numbness, weakness, tingling, prickling, burning or throbbing, and difficulty in walking or standing.

Irritation, nerve compressions, and malfunction in the nerves can lead to neuropathy due to which the nerves send the pain signals to the brain even though there is no physical pain or injury. The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may vary with the cause, type, and location of the nerve. Peripheral neuropathy can also develop due to health diseases or problems such as Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, Autoimmune, Alcoholism, and Shingles. Scheduling an appointment with a trusted Peripheral neuropathy expert, Dr. Silky Patel for proper and efficient neuropathy treatment can be beneficial.

Epidural steroid injections are used to help pinched nerves, radiculopathy, or sciatica, which can cause pain, weakness, or numbness down your arms or legs. Dr. Patel can put steroid and numbing medicine in the epidural space to help reduce swelling and inflammation, allowing the pinched nerve to heal.

Sleeping in an uncomfortable position, leaning over your computer for a longer time, and poor posture causes neck pain and related problems.

Medial Branch Block injections - This type of injection places numbing medicine at the nerves of the neck and back arthritic joints.

Trigger point injections can be very helpful in soothing Myalgia (muscle knots, aches, inflammation or pain) in your back and neck.
EMG/NCS - Dr. Silky Patel may recommend Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conditions Studies (NCS) tests that can really help to determine how damaged or injured your nerve is. Nerve or muscle diseases such as a pinched spinal nerve, peripheral neuropathy, myositis, and carpal tunnel syndrome can be easily identified by performing EMG/NCS tests.
Botox Injections - Botox Injections are proven effective in not only reducing or lessening the appearance of facial wrinkles but also treating neck spasms (Cervical Dystonia) and excessive sweating (Hyperhidrosis). Dr. Silky Patel may recommend Botox Injections to prevent or treat chronic migraines, as well.
Vertiflex - Dr. Silky Patel uses the Vertiflex procedure in order to deliver high-quality treatment for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS). This minimally invasive medical procedure involves placing an implant inside the spine which will help in reducing the space while the patient is walking or standing.
MILD Procedure -Lumbar Spinal Stenosis or LSS patients who are having trouble/problems in standing for long hours and walking a little farther can get huge relief from pain and numbness with the help of the MILD procedure. Dr. Patel takes proper care of patients while practicing this safe outpatient “Minimally Invasive Lumbar decompression” MILD procedure.
Sacroiliac (SI) joint injection - The SI joint is where the spinal column meets the pelvis, and this joint can become inflamed, causing SI joint pain. SI joint pain can feel like low back pain and can sometimes track down the leg. SI joint pain is caused by arthritis, and can also be felt during and after pregnancy. Dr Patel can inject your SI joint to help decrease your pain.
Kyphoplasty -Kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty procedures help by putting a type of 'cement' in a broken vertebrae. Vertebrae can be diagnosed with compression fractures caused by osteoporosis or falls. Without this treatment, compression fractures can be very painful and cause your spine to shorten.
