What peripheral nerves do
Peripheral nerves carry messages between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. They help support sensation, movement and automatic body functions.
Do not ignore persistent symptoms
Persistent tingling, numbness, burning discomfort or weakness deserves assessment by a qualified healthcare professional. Sudden weakness, loss of coordination or other severe symptoms may require urgent care.
Support overall wellness
Regular physical activity as medically appropriate, balanced nutrition, good sleep and management of underlying conditions can support overall wellbeing.
