What Are the 4 Major Types of Peripheral Neuropathy? Miami Nerve Pain Treatment

Peripheral neuropathy isn’t a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. In fact, there are four main types of peripheral neuropathy, each affecting different parts of your nervous system and presenting with distinct symptoms. Knowing which type you have can guide you to the right treatment—and help you avoid the frustrating cycle of ineffective medications and worsening pain.

At the Neuropathy Relief Center of Miami, we specialize in identifying your specific type of neuropathy and creating a custom, drug-free treatment plan to repair and restore nerve function.

🔎 1. Sensory Neuropathy

This is the most common type and affects the sensory nerves, which control your ability to feel pain, temperature, vibration, and touch.

Common symptoms include:

• Numbness or tingling in the feet and hands
• Burning or shooting pains
• Hypersensitivity to touch
• Balance issues, especially when walking in the dark or on uneven ground
  

Sensory neuropathy can make it difficult to detect injuries—especially in the feet—leading to infections or ulcers if left untreated.

💪 2. Motor Neuropathy

Motor neuropathy affects the motor nerves, which control muscle movement. When these nerves are damaged, the muscles they control become weak or atrophied.

Symptoms of motor neuropathy may include:

• Muscle weakness or twitching
• Cramping or spasms
• Difficulty lifting the foot or grasping objects
• Loss of coordination
  

Motor nerve damage often results from autoimmune disorders, nerve compression, or diabetes.

❤️ 3. Autonomic Neuropathy

This type affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls the automatic functions of your body—like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and bladder function.

Warning signs of autonomic neuropathy include:

• Dizziness or fainting when standing
• Digestive problems like bloating or constipation
• Abnormal sweating
• Bladder control issues
• Sexual dysfunction
  

Autonomic neuropathy is often overlooked but can significantly impact your health if not addressed properly.

🧠 4. Combination Neuropathy (Mixed Neuropathy)

Many patients suffer from a combination of sensory, motor, and autonomic neuropathy. This is especially common in those with advanced diabetes or long-term nerve damage.

Mixed neuropathy can result in:

• Painful feet and numb hands
• Balance problems and muscle weakness
• Digestive or cardiovascular symptoms

The good news is that you don’t have to live with these symptoms.
