Neuropathic arthritis is also referred to as Charcot\u2019s joint or neuropathic arthropathy. In the case of neuropathic arthritis, the nerve associated with a specific joint, or a group of joints, becomes damaged and is unable to send signals to the brain. This prevents the nerve from being able to alert the brain that there is damage occurring with the joint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There are different theories as to what causes the bony destruction with this neuropathic condition and what sustains it.<\/strong>\u00a0 Over time, the cartilage between bones can become completely worn down and the joint becomes damaged as a result of repeated microtraumas. Due to the loss of sensation from nerve damage, the severity of joint damage often goes undetected. \u00a0 Many scientists now believe that a traumatic incident can start this cascade of problems in the foot of a person with neuropathy.\u00a0 Unfortunately, due to the lack of sensation, often it is impossible to determine when that trauma may have happened.\u00a0<\/strong> It could have been something as simple as stepping off of a curb, or it could be from an obvious fall.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Typically, once pain is felt (a common early symptom), it does not match the higher degree of joint damage.\u00a0 In about 10-20% of those with neuropathy, there is pain that is felt generally.\u00a0 But the rest have little if any sensation, to include pain.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Neuropathic arthritis typically occurs within those who are already suffering a condition that impacts the nerves. The most common illness associated with neuropathic arthritis is diabetes. However, neuropathic arthritis can also be tied to stroke, syphilis, leprosy, chronic alcohol use, chemotherapy, HIV medications, micronutrient deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and spinal cord disorders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It\u2019s important to work with your physician and closely monitor any underlying diseases that may put you at risk for neuropathic arthritis. Early diagnosis can help prevent or slow future damage to the joint, helping you maintain mobility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The<\/span> Nervous System Multi<\/b> contains Omega-3, PEA, Resveratrol, Green Algae and NAC. This powerful multi can reduce inflammation throughout the body and brain, encourage antioxidant production while providing additional antioxidants and supporting mitochondrial health. Omega-3 on its own can help protect nerve endings and signaling abilities by promoting membrane and myelin sheath health. Omega-3 is also available as a single-ingredient supplement on the Well Theory site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
