What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition characterized by nerve damage, often causing symptoms such as:
- Numbness and tingling
- Burning or stabbing pain
- Loss of sensation
- Muscle weakness
These symptoms can significantly impact your quality of life, but there’s hope. Our innovative approach offers a non-invasive, drug-free alternative to traditional treatments.
A Comprehensive Approach to Healing
We recognize that neuropathy has various causes, from diabetes and autoimmune conditions, to exposure to pesticide chemicals and chronic infections. Our treatment protocol is designed to address not just the symptoms, but the underlying causes of your neuropathy.
Our Four-Step Vital Components Protocol
- Enhancing Blood Flow: Using state-of-the-art electromagnetic infrared therapy, we stimulate blood flow to damaged nerves, promoting natural healing and regeneration.
- Nerve Stimulation and Re-education: Our advanced electrostimulation techniques help reduce pain, improve balance, and stimulate damaged nerve fibers to promote healing and proper function. The growth of the nerves is called Nerve Re-Education.
- Advanced Nutrition Therapy: Proper nutrition is vital for optimal tissue and nerve repair. Our Advanced Nutritional Therapies have been designed to accelerate the healing process by affecting the complex processes of inflammation, blood flow, and bioavailable nitric oxide.
- In-Clinic Visits and Online Education: In synergy with your home infrared electromagnetic and electrostimulation therapy, you will visit the office one time per week for our in-clinic protocol. Each vital component is equally important for patient results.
We will also help patients address Brain-Based Pain, employing strategies to reduce the perception of pain at the brain level, providing relief.
Cutting-Edge Technology for Optimal Results
Our treatment protocol utilizes up to eight different state-of-the-art technologies, including:
- Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT): Stimulates the growth of new blood vessels to nourish damaged nerves
- Digital Electrotherapeutic Stimulation: Assists in nerve re-education and immediate pain relief
- Advanced Nutritional Therapy: Supports tissue repair and addresses inflammation
A Personalized Path to Recovery
We understand that every case of neuropathy is unique. That’s why we begin with a thorough evaluation to determine:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is neuropathy?
Neuropathy, often called peripheral neuropathy, occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged or irritated, disrupting the way signals travel between the brain and the rest of the body. Symptoms commonly include burning pain, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, or loss of sensation, particularly in the hands and feet.
What causes neuropathy?
Neuropathy can develop from a number of underlying conditions that damage or irritate nerves. Common causes include diabetes, spinal nerve compression, injuries, vitamin deficiencies (especially B vitamins), autoimmune diseases, toxins, infections, and certain chemotherapy treatments. Identifying the root cause is an important first step in finding the right care approach.
What are the most common symptoms of neuropathy?
Symptoms vary depending on the nerves affected, but many people experience burning pain, tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, or heightened sensitivity to touch. Neuropathy often begins in the feet or hands and may gradually progress. Some individuals also develop balance or coordination challenges or reduced sensation, which increases the risk of injury.
Can chiropractic care help with neuropathy?
Chiropractic care may help relieve neuropathy symptoms when nerve irritation or compression is connected to spinal alignment or joint dysfunction. We focus on improving spinal mobility, reducing nerve compression, and supporting circulation and nerve function through non-invasive therapies, including spinal adjustments, manual therapy, and lifestyle guidance.
What treatments are commonly used for neuropathy?
Treatment depends on the cause of nerve damage, but may include lifestyle changes, blood sugar management for diabetic neuropathy, physical therapy, nutritional support, and conservative therapies like chiropractic care. Some treatment plans also incorporate targeted exercises, anti-inflammatory strategies, red light therapy, and specialized electrical stimulation designed to improve circulation and support nerve healing.
