The peripheral neuropathy clinic at the University of Florida is available to help those with peripheral neuropathies including CMT (Charcot Marie Tooth Disease), brachial plexus or nerve injuries, autoimmune neuropathies such as CIDP or GBS, painful neuropathies, or any other type of neuropathy.
The peripheral neuropathy clinic does specialize in seeing patients with CMT. The CMT clinic at the University of Florida helps treat people with CMT, a type of hereditary peripheral neuropathy. CMT is typically a slowly progressive disorder that affects peripheral nerves, and as a result involves numbness, weakness, pain in the hands and feet, and/or structural changes in the feet such as high arches.
