Numb feet, burning sensations, sharp pricking pain, or a strange loss of feeling in the hands and legs often begin quietly. Many people put it down to tiredness, blood sugar fluctuations, or long working hours. But when these changes continue, they may point toward peripheral neuropathy, especially in people living with diabetes or long-standing metabolic concerns.
Dr. Sachin Adukia focuses on understanding the pattern of nerve damage before it worsens. Peripheral neuropathy can affect daily comfort, sleep, walking, and coordination. It may start with mild tingling, but over time it can make simple tasks harder and increase the risk of unnoticed injuries, particularly in the feet. Diabetic nerve damage also needs long-term attention, because symptom control alone is not enough if the underlying cause is left unmanaged.
Evaluation usually includes a close neurological assessment, symptom history, and in some cases nerve testing to see how the nerves are functioning. Once the cause and severity are clearer, treatment can be planned more precisely. This may include medicines, blood sugar management advice, and supportive strategies to reduce discomfort and improve function.
If persistent tingling, burning pain, or reduced sensation has become part of everyday life, seeking nerve care in Govandi may help identify the issue early and protect long-term nerve health with the right guidance.
