Origins of Peripheral Neuropathy The three main classifications of peripheral neuropathy consist of either Acquired PN, Hereditary PN, or Idiopathic PN. A significant number of idiopathic neuropathies stem from causes which still remain unknown today. While the cause of PN can be challenging to isolate, a qualified medical professional, like those from Arrowhead Health Centers, may help to identify its origins which can be tied to any number of factors including various medical conditions, environmental factors, genetics, and trauma just to name a few. Never Too Late to Seek Treatment While functional impairment in any of the aforementioned areas can certainly lead to less than desirable consequences at any stage in life, help is available to those seeking relief from PN for all age groups.  Most manifestations of peripheral neuropathies can be present beginning at age 30 and are especially common for people who fall under the age group of 55 or older.  Due to the varying degrees of PN there are many treatment options available to help manage the debilitating symptoms often associated with this disorder.
