Wondering if alcohol and peripheral neuropathy are connected? Dr. Andrew Schneider, a boardcertified Houston podiatrist, explores this question in this video. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to peripheral neuropathy, a condition causing numbness, tingling, and pain in your hands and feet. Discover symptoms, common causes, and how alcohol affects your nerves. Spread the word by liking, commenting, subscribing, and sharing.

Peripheral neuropathy symptoms include numbness, tingling, and pain, primarily in the feet. It can result from diabetes, infections, injuries, or toxin exposure. Excessive drinking damages your nervous system, causing alcoholinduced peripheral neuropathy. Alcohol depletes vital nerve nutrients like vitamin B1, leading to nerve deterioration.

Recognize how alcohol impacts your nervous system to make informed choices. Family history or nutrientdeficient diets increase susceptibility. Studies suggest half of longterm heavy drinkers may experience neuropathy. Treatment options include medications, physical therapy, psychological support, lifestyle changes, and moderation in alcohol consumption.

Preventing alcoholrelated peripheral neuropathy involves moderation, balanced diets, regular exercise, and managing underlying conditions. Don't ignore potential signs; contact our office for an appointment.
