Painful polyneuropathy - Diffuse pain in feet and hands
Emmanuel Coradi October 27, 2024
Painful polyneuropathy is a common condition caused by damage to the peripheral nerves and manifests itself in various forms and degrees of severity. It usually occurs as a result of underlying diseases such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or infections, but autoimmune diseases or toxic influences can also contribute. If left untreated, painful polyneuropathy often leads to a considerable reduction in quality of life. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are crucial to alleviate pain and prevent further nerve damage.

Neck pain
Emmanuel Coradi October 27, 2024
Neck pain is a widespread problem in the adult population. This is not surprising, as the neck (cervical spine) is a complex and sensitive structure that is constantly exposed to high levels of stress. The head, which is supported by the cervical spine, is comparatively heavy and must be able to move freely. With increasing age, the bones, joints and connective tissue structures in the area of the cervical spine are subject to processes of wear and degradation. The processes described are also referred to as “degenerative” and can be accompanied by chronic pain.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)
Emmanuel Coradi October 26, 2024
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is an insufficiently understood disease. Affected people suffer from constant, often severe pain. In most patients affected by CRPS, the problem is triggered by an injury. Typically, the pain is unusually severe and lasts longer than generally expected. Usually only one limb (e.g. a hand) is affected. Rarely, however, CRPS symptoms can spread to other parts of the body.
