Neuropathy Clinic

Program Description

There are dozens of reasons why nerves become damaged, causing a pins-and-needle sensation, numbness, pain and/or weakness. Neuropathy can result from diabetes, overuse injuries, an immune disorder and other causes. At Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Illinois, we tailor treatment to fit each patient's needs.

Services Provided
Rush neuromuscular physicians have expertise in evaluating and managing various neuropathies including, but not limited to:

Carpal tunnel syndrome
Guillain Barre syndrome
Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP)
Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
Mononeuropathy multiplex
Polyneuropathy diabetic
Multifocal motor neuropathy
Ulnar neuropathy
Plexopathy
- Brachial
- Lumbar

After a complete evaluation, including electrodiagnostic testing, treatment plans are individually tailored to the patient's needs. A multimodality approach (including pain medications, immunomodulatory therapy, bracing and physical therapy) is used to target symptoms and the underlying cause of the neuropathy to optimize function and quality of life.
