Neuropathy Treatments

Available at Our Office in the VI Medical Foundation Building 202, St Thomas

Peripheral neuropathy can cause challenging symptoms like tingling, burning pain, numbness, or sensitivity in the feet and legs, often linked to diabetes, injuries, or other underlying issues. While our shockwave-based neuropathy program offers a powerful non-invasive option, we also recognize that a multi-faceted approach works best for many patients. Here are some additional evidence-based treatments commonly used to manage neuropathy symptoms.

Common Additional Treatments Beyond shockwave therapy, effective options include:

  • Red Light Therapy — Helps with neuropathy by stimulating mitochondrial function in cells to boost ATP production, which enhances cellular energy, promotes nerve repair and regeneration, reduces inflammation, improves blood circulation to nourish damaged nerves, and modulates pain signals for relief from symptoms like burning, tingling, and numbness

  • Shockwave Therapy — Improves blood circulation and promotes new blood vessel formation to nourish damaged nerves.

  • Electrical Nerve Stimulation — A non-invasive device delivers gentle electrical impulses through skin electrodes to interrupt pain signals, promote comfort, and stimulate nerve conduction.

  • Physical Therapy & Exercise — Customized exercises improve strength, balance, circulation, and mobility while helping manage symptoms through low-impact activities.

  • Lifestyle & Nutritional Support — Blood sugar control (for diabetic neuropathy), a nerve-friendly diet rich in vitamins (e.g., B vitamins, alpha-lipoic acid), weight management, and quitting smoking enhance nerve health and slow progression.

  • Other Complementary Approaches — Acupuncture, low-level laser therapy, or supplements may provide additional relief for some patients and are often used alongside primary treatments.

What to Expect in Our Office: We tailor combinations of these treatments to your specific needs, often integrating them with our core nutrition program for optimal results. Sessions for adjunct therapies such as red light therapy, electrical stimulation, and guidance or physical therapy recommendations are straightforward, comfortable, and require no downtime.

Many patients find better overall symptom control and improved daily function by exploring these options. If you're seeking comprehensive care for neuropathy beyond shockwave alone, contact our office to discuss how we can customize a plan that addresses your unique symptoms and goals!
