Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy
Neuropathy involves damage to the peripheral nerves, often causing pain, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet. As a neuropathy specialist in South Delhi, Dr. Aparna Gupta focuses on identifying the underlying cause to guide effective, lasting treatment.
Common causes include diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disorders, alcohol, kidney disease, certain medicines, infections, autoimmune conditions and inherited nerve disorders. Sometimes a single nerve is affected, such as in carpal tunnel syndrome.
Our Treatment Approach
Neuropathy treatment involves addressing the underlying cause, along with medicines for nerve pain, physical therapy and lifestyle measures. Supplements may help when a deficiency is found.
- Diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause
- Medication for nerve pain when appropriate
- Physiotherapy for strength, balance and mobility
- Nutritional supplementation where a deficiency is confirmed
- Foot-care and lifestyle guidance to prevent further nerve damage
Every treatment plan is tailored after a detailed consultation. This page is for patient education and does not replace individual medical advice.

When Should You Seek Urgent Care?
Most consultations can be planned at the clinic, but some symptoms need immediate emergency assessment:

- Difficulty breathing or swallowing along with weakness

If these symptoms are present, go to the nearest emergency department — do not wait for a routine clinic appointment.

What is the most common cause of neuropathy?
Diabetes is one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. Other causes include vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disease, alcohol, kidney disease, certain medicines, infections and autoimmune conditions.
Which test confirms neuropathy?
A nerve conduction study (NCV) with EMG is commonly used to confirm peripheral nerve involvement. Blood tests help find the cause.
