Understanding Neuropathy: What You Need to Know

If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, burning pain, or weakness in your hands or feet, you may be dealing with neuropathy—a condition that affects millions of Americans and can greatly impact quality of life.

What Is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the nerves, often in the peripheral nervous system (the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord). It can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Diabetes

  • Autoimmune conditions

  • Injury or trauma

  • Infections

  • Poor circulation

  • Exposure to toxins

  • Certain medications

Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and muscle weakness. Left untreated, neuropathy can worsen over time and lead to permanent nerve damage.

Common Symptoms of Neuropathy

  • Burning or stabbing pain

  • Numbness or tingling

  • Muscle weakness

  • Loss of coordination or balance

  • Sensitivity to touch

  • Feeling like you’re wearing “invisible socks or gloves”

There Is Hope—and Help Is Available

We’re currently offering a FREE thermal imaging scan, consultation, and exam to help determine if our neuropathy treatment program is right for you.

Thermal imaging is a safe, non-invasive tool that allows us to detect changes in skin temperature and circulation—key indicators of nerve function and inflammation.
