What is the process like to become a new patient?
Before beginning treatment, our primary goal is to confirm whether you actually have neuropathy and assess the severity of your case. The process typically starts with an initial $40 diagnostic appointment including a consultation, a full nerve assessment to evaluate the extent of nerve damage, and a comprehensive 30-point exam. This in-depth evaluation helps us understand your unique situation and determine the most effective course of action for your specific case.
How do I know if I have neuropathy?
Typically, neuropathy begins in the hands and feet as numbness, tingling, or a "pins and needles" sensation. You might also experience burning pain or increased sensitivity to touch. As it progresses, you may notice muscle weakness, balance problems, or difficulty with fine motor skills. Some people develop a loss of feeling in affected areas, which can be dangerous as it may lead to unnoticed injuries.
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, especially if they persist or worsen over time, it's important to consult a healthcare professional. Early detection often leads to more effective treatment, so don't hesitate to seek medical advice if you suspect you might have neuropathy.
How long does treatment take?
The duration of neuropathy treatment varies significantly and depends on several factors, including the patient's age, the severity of the condition, and how early the neuropathy is caught and treated. Given these variables, there's no one-size-fits-all timeline for improvement.
Depending on these factors, some patients can notice improvements in as little as a few weeks to months. However, it's important to understand that treatment is often an ongoing process aimed at managing symptoms and slowing progression. While quick results are possible for some, others may require longer-term care to experience significant relief.
Is neuropathy reversible?
While neuropathy isn't "curable" in the traditional sense, it's not a condition you simply have to accept without hope. The goal of treatment is twofold: to stop or slow the progression of nerve damage, and to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Many patients experience significant improvement with proper treatment.
The extent of recovery depends on the underlying cause and how early treatment begins. Some forms of neuropathy, particularly those caught early, may see substantial symptom reduction. Others may not reverse but can be effectively managed. If you've been told "nothing can be done," know that this isn't accurate.
What happens if neuropathy is left untreated?
Untreated neuropathy can lead to serious complications. Patients may face an increased risk of falls and injuries due to numbness and poor coordination. Chronic pain often worsens, significantly impacting quality of life. In advanced cases, muscle weakness and wasting can occur. Autonomic nerve damage may disrupt vital functions like heart rate and digestion. Early treatment is essential to prevent these potentially debilitating outcomes.
What are the common causes of neuropathy?
Neuropathy is often caused by damage to nerves or disruption of nerve signaling. Each of these causes has a scientifically understood mechanism for how it impacts nerve function, leading to the symptoms of neuropathy. Here are five common causes and how they lead to neuropathy:
- Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage nerve fibers, especially in the legs and feet. This affects up to 50% of diabetics over time.
- Chemotherapy: Cancer-fighting drugs can harm nerve cells as a side effect, leading to tingling and numbness, typically in hands and feet.
- Physical injuries: Direct trauma to nerves or prolonged pressure (like from tight casts) can disrupt nerve function, causing localized neuropathy.
- Autoimmune diseases: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can cause the immune system to attack nerve tissue, leading to widespread nerve damage.
- Excessive alcohol use: Alcohol can directly poison nerves and interfere with nutrient absorption, particularly B vitamins crucial for nerve health.
"6 years off and on and issues with walking that caused my toes to get painfully numb. Now I can walk without my toes going numb. The staff and the doctors are warm, gentle, kind and welcoming! I also love how they have integrated technology to make your visits quick and efficient."
"I started having numbness and tingling. These symptoms were so bad that I had difficulty sleeping, driving, walking, I was taking ibuprofen every 6 hours as well as a topical nsaid prescribed by my primary care physician. The majority of my symptoms have resolved, and I am able to work and play golf again!"

If you're like most people struggling with neuropathy, you've already been down a long road of treatments and interventions. Your journey probably looks something like this:
Medications: A carousel of prescriptions – nerve pain medications, antidepressants, and over-the-counter pain relievers. While these might take the edge off, they often come with side effects that rival your symptoms, leaving you wondering if the trade-off is worth it.
Mobility Aids: As your balance became compromised, you may have reluctantly accepted a cane, walker, or even considered a wheelchair as your only option. These tools help you stay mobile, but they don't address why you're losing your balance in the first place.
You've likely explored other avenues too, each with a glimmer of hope – physical therapy, supplements, maybe even contemplated surgery.
The problem? Most of these treatments focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying cause of your neuropathy. They're designed to help you cope, not to help you heal.
But what if there was a way to do more than just manage symptoms? What if you could actually target the root cause of your neuropathy and work towards real, lasting improvement?
