THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLYNEUROPATHY AND SPINAL STENOSIS
Older people are often diagnosed with conditions such as polyneuropathy (sensory disturbances in the fingers, arms or legs), but this diagnosis is not always correct. Sensory disturbances in the arms, fingers or legs, with or without gait disturbance, can also be caused by a narrowing of the spinal canal in the cervical spine.

OTHER CAUSES OF SENSORY DISTURBANCES
Sensory disturbances in the fingers can also be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome or ulnar nerve entrapment. In short, a thorough diagnosis is necessary to ensure the best possible treatment. The Clinic for Holistic Neurosurgery in Salzburg is your ideal point of contact.
