Function 

Part of the function of your peripheral nervous system is to make your arms, legs, feet, and hands move. This nervous system includes all the parts of your body that branch off of the central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord).

Dysfunction 

Whether it's from an injury or chronic condition, your peripheral nervous system could experience dysfunction. Some people even have congenital conditions that cause this dysfunction.

Some of the common symptoms we might see at our clinical neuroscience center include:

• Numbness
• Weakness
• Pain
• Tingling
• Burning
• And loss of coordination

One prime example is peripheral neuropathy, which can be caused by diabetes. When you have too high of blood sugar levels and they're left untreated, they can damage the nervous system. This often affects the hands and feet.
