With years of expertise in neurology, nerve disorders, and chronic pain management, Dr. Ankit Daware provides compassionate care, accurate diagnosis, and world-class neuropathy treatment for patients across Nagpur and surrounding regions.
Neuropathy refers to damage of the peripheral nerves—the nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves play a key role in carrying messages between your brain and body. When they get damaged, the communication breaks down, leading to symptoms such as numbness, burning pain, tingling, sensitivity, muscle weakness, and loss of balance.
Although neuropathy can affect anyone, it is more common in:
Diabetic individuals
People with vitamin deficiencies
Patients experiencing nerve compression
Individuals with autoimmune diseases
Patients undergoing chemotherapy
People with chronic kidney or liver disease
Because neuropathy progresses silently, early consultation with an expert like Dr. Ankit Daware is extremely important.
Choosing the right specialist plays a major role in controlling neuropathy symptoms. Here’s why thousands of patients trust Dr. Ankit Daware:
✔ Comprehensive Diagnosis
Neuropathy has many causes. Therefore, Dr. Daware performs detailed assessments such as:
Nerve conduction study (NCS)
Electromyography (EMG)
Blood investigations
Sensory examinations
Foot and nerve screening
Vitamin deficiency tests
This helps identify the exact cause, which ensures effective and targeted treatment.
✔ Personalized Treatment Plans
Every patient is unique, and so is the treatment. Hence, Dr. Daware creates a customised plan including medications, lifestyle changes, exercises, and advanced therapies.
✔ Proven Expertise in Diabetic Neuropathy
Because diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common nerve disorders, Dr. Daware offers specialised care to reduce pain, prevent foot complications, and improve nerve healing.
✔ Advanced Technology
From nerve function tests to regenerative therapies, the clinic provides the latest technologies for accurate diagnosis and faster relief.
✔ Focus on Long-Term Recovery
The goal is not just temporary pain relief, but long-term nerve repair, symptom control, and prevention of future nerve damage.
Neuropathy comes in various forms, and each type requires a different approach. Dr. Daware treats all major neuropathy conditions, including:
1. Peripheral Neuropathy
Affects the nerves in the hands, feet, and arms. Symptoms include burning, tingling, loss of sensation, and sharp electrical pain.
2. Diabetic Neuropathy
Caused by long-term uncontrolled diabetes. Leads to:
Foot numbness
Sensitivity
Burning pain
Slow wound healing
Ulcers
Early treatment prevents serious foot complications.
3. Autonomic Neuropathy
Affects the involuntary nerves responsible for digestion, heart function, bladder control, and sweating.
4. Motor Neuropathy
Damages the nerves that control muscle movement, leading to:
Weakness
Muscle cramps
Difficulty lifting objects
Loss of coordination
5. Sensory Neuropathy
Impacts the nerves responsible for touch, pressure, pain, and temperature sensations.
6. Focal Neuropathy
Sudden nerve damage that affects a specific area such as the face, leg, hand, or chest.
7. Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy
A common side effect of cancer treatments. Causes tingling, numbness, and nerve pain.
Neuropathy can occur due to several factors. Some of the major causes include:
Diabetes – The leading cause of nerve damage
Vitamin B12 deficiency
Kidney failure
Liver disease
Alcoholism
Infections
Injury or trauma
Autoimmune conditions
Thyroid disorders
Chemotherapy or radiation therapy
Genetic disorders
Prolonged nerve compression
Identifying the root cause is the first step toward effective treatment.
Neuropathy symptoms differ depending on the type of nerve affected. However, the most common symptoms include:
Nerve Sensation Symptoms
Tingling or “pins and needles”
Burning sensations
Extreme sensitivity to touch
Sharp or stabbing pain
Numbness in hands, feet, or legs
Motor Symptoms
Muscle weakness
Loss of balance
Difficulty walking
Cramping
Reduced grip strength
Autonomic Symptoms
Digestive issues
Bladder difficulty
Irregular heartbeat
Dizziness
Excessive or reduced sweating
Because symptoms worsen over time, early evaluation by Dr. Ankit Daware helps prevent permanent nerve damage.
A detailed evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis. Therefore, the diagnostic process includes:
1. Medical History Review
Dr. Daware listens to your symptoms, lifestyle habits, health conditions, and family history to understand the possible cause.
2. Physical Examination
Sensory responses, muscle strength, reflexes, and coordination are tested.
3. Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)
This test measures how fast electrical signals pass through nerves.
4. Electromyography (EMG)
It helps detect muscle and nerve abnormalities.
5. Blood Tests
Checks for:
Vitamin deficiencies
Thyroid issues
Kidney or liver problems
Diabetes or sugar abnormalities
6. Imaging Tests (if required)
MRI or ultrasound to check for nerve compression or underlying conditions.
1. Medications
To relieve pain and control symptoms, the doctor may prescribe:
Nerve pain medications
Vitamin supplements (B12, folate)
Anti-inflammatory medicines
Muscle relaxants (for motor neuropathy)
2. Nerve Regenerative Therapy
Advanced therapies that support nerve repair and improve nerve signalling.
3. Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation
Essential for improving muscle strength, walking balance, and nerve function.
Therapies include:
Strength training
Flexibility exercises
Balance therapy
Foot care physiotherapy
4. Lifestyle Modifications
Because habits influence nerve health, Dr. Daware advises on:
Diet changes
Diabetes control
Alcohol reduction
Foot care
Weight management
5. Advanced Pain Management
For severe nerve pain, minimally invasive procedures may be suggested:
Nerve blocks
Neuromodulation
TENS therapy (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation)
6. Foot Care for Diabetic Neuropathy
Proper foot care prevents infections, ulcers, and complications.
Includes:
Regular foot examination
Proper footwear guidance
Wound care (if needed)
Because diabetes is one of the biggest contributors to nerve damage, Dr. Daware focuses on:
Blood sugar control
Prevention of foot injuries
Improved nerve healing
Pain reduction
Protection against future nerve damage
This holistic approach gives diabetic patients long-lasting relief and prevents major complications.
You should seek immediate medical care if you experience:
Frequent numbness in feet or hands
Burning or tingling sensations
Sharp electrical pain
Unusual sensitivity to touch
Difficulty walking
Muscle weakness
Balance problems
Persistent nerve pain
Foot wounds that don’t heal
Early diagnosis means better recovery and reduced long-term complications.
Treating neuropathy early helps:
Prevent permanent nerve damage
Reduce pain
Improve mobility
Maintain balance
Prevent foot ulcers
Enhance quality of life
Restore nerve function
Although neuropathy cannot always be prevented, taking timely steps can reduce the risk significantly.
1. Maintain Blood Sugar Levels
Critical for diabetic patients.
2. Eat a Balanced Diet
Include foods rich in:
Vitamin B12
Omega-3 fats
Antioxidants
3. Exercise Regularly
Walking, stretching, and light workouts improve nerve signalling.
4. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol
These habits worsen nerve health.
5. Protect Your Feet
Especially important for diabetic individuals.
6. Regular Health Checkups
Helps detect issues early.
