What Is Neuropathy and What Causes It?
Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of one or more peripheral nerves, often resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or burning sensations—most commonly in the hands or feet. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including diabetes (diabetic neuropathy), physical trauma, nerve compression, autoimmune disorders, infections, and exposure to toxins. Poor circulation, vitamin deficiencies, and chronic inflammation can also contribute to nerve degeneration. Left untreated, neuropathy can progress and lead to significant disability, loss of coordination, and decreased quality of life. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective management and slowing further nerve damage.

Our Approach to Neuropathy Relief
We offer a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to neuropathy designed to reduce symptoms, promote nerve healing, and improve overall function. After a detailed evaluation, we develop personalized care plans that may include chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, regenerative medicine therapies (such as PRP), nutritional support, and circulation-enhancing treatments. Our focus is on improving nerve conductivity, reducing inflammation, restoring proper blood flow, and strengthening the musculoskeletal system to relieve pressure on affected nerves. By addressing both symptoms and root causes, we aim to help patients achieve meaningful, lasting improvements without relying solely on long-term medication use.
Benefits of Early Neuropathy Management
Early intervention is crucial in managing neuropathy and preserving nerve function. Prompt treatment can slow or even halt the progression of nerve damage, reducing the severity of symptoms and improving sensation and strength. Patients who seek care early often experience better pain control, improved balance, greater mobility, and a higher overall quality of life. Consistent management can also decrease the risk of developing complications such as foot ulcers, infections, or injuries resulting from sensory loss. By taking action at the first signs of neuropathy, patients have the best chance of maintaining independence and avoiding permanent disability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can neuropathy be reversed?
In some cases, particularly when caught early, neuropathy symptoms can be reduced or even reversed by addressing the underlying cause and promoting nerve regeneration. Chronic, longstanding damage may be managed to improve quality of life.
What symptoms should make me seek help for neuropathy?
Tingling, burning sensations, numbness, sharp pains, muscle weakness, and loss of balance are all signs that should prompt evaluation and early intervention.
Will I have to take medication forever?
Not necessarily. While some patients require medications, many experience significant symptom relief through non-pharmaceutical treatments that improve nerve health and reduce inflammation.
How long does it take to see improvements?
Many patients begin to notice gradual improvement in symptoms within a few weeks of consistent therapy, although full nerve healing can take several months depending on severity.
Is neuropathy only caused by diabetes?
No. While diabetic neuropathy is common, neuropathy can also result from physical injury, chronic compression, infections, autoimmune diseases, and other metabolic or vascular conditions.
