Communication Matters
Manifestations of peripheral neuropathy (PN) occur when nerves responsible for communicating messages from the brain and the spinal cord throughout the body start to malfunction as a result of damage or disease.

Individuals with PN who proactively consult with a qualified medical professional to establish an individual treatment plan may benefit from avoiding undue harm or injury.

One thing we know for sure is that a positive mindset and attitude can make a significant difference when it comes to staying healthy.
