Neuropathy & Nerve Pain

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which can cause pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning sensations—often starting in the hands or feet. Left untreated, neuropathy can significantly impact mobility, daily functioning, and quality of life. At our clinic, Dr. Sandeep Marasaketla, a NIMHANS-trained neurologist, offers expert diagnosis and individualized treatment for all types of neuropathy and nerve pain disorders.

There are many types of neuropathy, including diabetic neuropathy, post-herpetic neuralgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve compression syndromes, and autoimmune neuropathies. The first step toward relief is a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying cause—whether it’s metabolic, nutritional, infectious, toxic, hereditary, or idiopathic.

Dr. Sandeep performs a detailed neurological examination along with relevant tests such as nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), blood investigations, and imaging to confirm the diagnosis and assess nerve damage.

Treatment is tailored to the cause and severity of the condition and may include:

• Neuropathic pain medications (like pregabalin, duloxetine)
• Vitamin supplementation (especially B12, folate)
• Tight glucose control in diabetic patients
• Physical therapy and nerve exercises
• Interventional pain relief procedures when needed
• Lifestyle modifications to prevent further nerve damage

In cases of autoimmune or inflammatory neuropathies like Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) or CIDP, Dr. Sandeep also provides immunotherapy options such as steroids, IVIG, or plasma exchange.

Our goal is to reduce pain, restore function, and improve nerve health through targeted therapy and continuous support.
