Understanding Nerve Damage
When Nerves Stop Talking to Your Brain
Your peripheral nerves are like communication cables running from your brain and spinal cord to every part of your body. They carry signals that let you feel touch, temperature, and pain - and they control your muscles so you can move.
When you have peripheral neuropathy, these cables get damaged. This can happen from diabetes, infections like Lyme disease, toxins, repetitive stress, or simply the wear and tear of aging. The myelin sheath (the protective coating around nerve fibers) breaks down. The nerve cells themselves atrophy - they shrink and lose function. Communication between your nerves and brain becomes spotty and unreliable.
"Your nerves have extraordinary capacity to heal - they just need the right growth signals."
The result? Numbness where you should feel sensation. Pain where there shouldn't be pain. Weakness in muscles that seem to forget how to work. This is where peptide therapy comes in - each one stimulates nerve regeneration from a different angle, giving your nervous system the biological signals it needs to repair and rebuild.
