Managing Peripheral Neuropathy in Eastern Uganda – Michoes Medical Centre

As a resident of Kanyum, Kumi, Soroti, or surrounding areas, managing peripheral neuropathy is essential to prevent complications. At Michoes Medical Centre, we provide comprehensive care for this condition, ensuring you receive the best treatment options.

Causes and Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by chronically high blood sugar levels and diabetes. It leads to numbness, loss of sensation, and sometimes pain in your feet, legs, or hands. In Eastern Uganda, approximately 60% to 70% of people with diabetes will develop peripheral neuropathy.

Treatment and Prevention

Studies have shown that people with diabetes can reduce their risk of developing nerve damage by keeping their blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible. Regular check-ups with our doctors, led by Senior Orthopedic Consultant Michael Emusugut, will help you manage this condition.
