Is peripheral neuropathy caused by bad circulation?

 

A: Poor circulation is one cause of peripheral neuropathy. It should be noted, however, that not every case of poor circulation will lead to poor neuropathy and, certainly, not every case of peripheral neuropathy is due to poor circulation.

Circulation problems is a common cause of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The small vessels that deliver blood to the nerves are damaged by the high sugar levels. This reduces the amount of oxygen and blood to the nerves. This causes the nerves to react by becoming numb or painful.
