Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy happens when the nerves in your hands or feet become damaged or stop functioning properly.
Common symptoms include:
Burning, tingling, or electric-shock sensations
Numbness or unusual sensitivity to touch
Weakness in the feet or hands
Poor balance and instability
If left untreated, neuropathy can worsen over time, leading to loss of mobility and independence. While traditional medications often only mask symptoms, our treatments focus on the root cause—helping to restore nerve health, improve circulation, and support long-term function.
Benefits of Our Neuropathy Program
Physical Improvements
Restored sensation in feet and hands
Relief from pain, numbness, and burning
Improved balance, coordination, and mobility
Better sleep and reduced anxiety
Neurological Benefits
Actual nerve fiber regeneration (proven through advanced testing like skin biopsies)
Enhanced blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues
Reduced inflammation in nerve pathways
Calming of overactive central pain signals
Long-Term Results
Reduced reliance on medications
Slowing or stopping further nerve damage
Sustainable relief rather than temporary masking of symptoms
Improved independence and overall quality of life
Conditions We Treat with Peripheral Neuropathy
Our neuropathy program addresses different types of nerve damage, each with its own unique challenges:
Diabetic Neuropathy
Nerve damage caused by Type 2 diabetes
Support for blood sugar stabilization and insulin sensitivity
Doctor-guided care to help slow, stop, or even reverse progression
Chemo-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)
Tingling, numbness, and burning from cancer treatments
Specialized support before, during, and after chemotherapy
Focus on reducing or preventing long-term nerve damage
Spinal or Compression Neuropathy
Nerve pain linked to herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or low back problems
Combination care with spinal alignment and decompression
Effective for patients who haven’t improved with conventional treatments
Our Neuropathy Treatment Approach
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Thorough medical history and physical exam
Advanced nerve and balance testing (vibration, temperature, proprioception)
Circulation analysis with thermography
Functional spinal evaluation to distinguish neuropathy from spinal-related issues
2. Customized Treatment Plan
Every patient receives a protocol designed for their specific condition, severity, and underlying causes—never one-size-fits-all.
3. All-Natural Methodology
We use safe, drug-free therapies—without prescription medications like Gabapentin or Lyrica, steroid injections, or surgery.
4. Advanced Healing Therapies
Sanexas Electric Cell Signaling Therapy: FDA-cleared electrotherapy that stimulates nerve regeneration and enhances communication with the brain.
Cold Laser Therapy: Promotes tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and boosts circulation and ATP production for faster recovery.
Shockwave Therapy: Breaks down scar tissue and improves blood flow to damaged nerves.
Acupuncture: Supports nerve healing and pain relief by activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
Nerve Plate & Photobiomodulation: Enhances circulation, oxygenation, and nerve sensitivity for long-term improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
What is peripheral neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where the nerves in the hands, feet, or legs become damaged. This can cause numbness, tingling, burning, sharp pain, or weakness. Common causes include diabetes, chemotherapy, injuries, and poor circulation.
How can Sanexas therapy help with neuropathy?
Sanexas is an advanced, FDA-cleared treatment that uses electric cell signaling to improve circulation and help nerves regenerate. Many patients in Akron, Ohio have seen improvements in numbness, burning, and balance problems after consistent Sanexas therapy sessions.
Can laser therapy help with peripheral neuropathy?
Yes. Low-level laser therapy stimulates healing by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and supporting nerve repair. It’s painless, safe, and often used alongside other therapies for neuropathy to maximize results.
What is a nerve plate (vibration plate), and how does it help?
A vibration (nerve) plate gently stimulates the nerves and muscles in the feet and legs. When set at the right frequency, it can help improve circulation, nerve communication, and balance. This is especially useful for patients with neuropathy who struggle with numbness or instability.
Can neuropathy really improve without surgery or medications?
Yes. While results vary, many patients experience relief through non-invasive treatments like Sanexas therapy, laser therapy, and vibration plate exercises. These therapies target the underlying nerve health rather than just masking symptoms with medication.
Do you treat Peripheral Neuropathy without medication?
Absolutely. Our Peripheral Neuropathy program uses Sanexas therapy, acupuncture, laser, shockwave, and nutrition to regenerate nerves and restore sensation. This drug-free approach has helped many patients in Northeast Ohio reduce burning, tingling, and numbness in their feet and hands.
