What Is Sensory Neuropathy? Understanding the Warning Signs and Treatment Options

What Is Sensory Neuropathy – Do you feel constant tingling in your feet or hands? Are you increasingly unsteady while walking? You might be suffering from sensory neuropathy — a specific type of peripheral neuropathy that affects how your body senses pain, temperature, and touch. And if left untreated, it can worsen progressively over time.

At the Neuropathy Relief Center of Miami, we specialize in identifying and treating the root causes of neuropathy using a comprehensive, non-drug, non-surgical protocol.

What Is Sensory Neuropathy?

Your body’s peripheral nervous system (PNS) is a vast network of nerves outside your brain and spinal cord. These nerves carry signals between the central nervous system (CNS) and the rest of the body — including the skin, organs, muscles, and limbs.

Sensory neuropathy occurs when the nerves responsible for sending sensory signals — like pressure, vibration, pain, and temperature — become damaged. This damage interferes with your body’s ability to interpret sensory input, leading to strange sensations, pain, or even numbness.

Common Symptoms of Sensory Neuropathy

Symptoms depend on which nerve fibers are affected — small fibers or large fibers:

✅ Small Fiber Neuropathy Symptoms:

• Burning or sharp pain
• Tingling or “pins and needles”
• Sensitivity to touch (even sheets hurt)
• Cold or hot sensations in feet or hands
• Electric shock feelings
  

✅ Large Fiber Neuropathy Symptoms:

• Poor balance or frequent tripping
• Loss of coordination
• Trouble walking
• Inability to feel vibration
• Feeling like you’re wearing socks or gloves when you’re not
  

Other common symptoms include:

• Numbness in toes or fingers that spreads
• Unawareness of cuts, injuries, or temperature changes
• Difficulty knowing where your limbs are in space (proprioception loss)
  

If you’re noticing any of these issues, early evaluation is critical. The longer you wait, the more likely permanent damage will occur.

What Causes Sensory Neuropathy?

Sensory neuropathy can be triggered by:

• Diabetes (especially poorly controlled blood sugar)
• Toxins or chemotherapy
• Alcoholism
• Spinal compression or nerve entrapment
• Vitamin deficiencies
• Autoimmune conditions or infections
  

Identifying the exact cause is step one. At our clinic, we perform thorough diagnostic evaluations to determine the type and severity of your nerve damage before recommending any treatment.
