1. Can Peripheral Neuropathy be reversed?

Yes, in many cases! While not every patient will achieve 100% recovery, we have seen patients regain full nerve function through targeted treatments. The key is addressing the condition before too much permanent damage occurs. Nearly all of our patients, despite severity of nerve loss, experience a halt in the progression of neuropathy, along with measurable improvements in nerve function and a significant reduction or elimination of symptoms.

2. Is Peripheral Neuropathy always painful?

Not necessarily. Some patients experience numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation; while others may feel burning or sharp pain. There are several different types of sensory nerves. The type(s) of nerves that are damaged dictates what symptoms patients may experience. Regardless of your symptoms, neuropathy is progressive, and early treatment can prevent it from worsening. Many patients find that with the right care, their symptoms improve, and they regain lost function in the affected nerves.

3. I have had Neuropathy for years—can treatment still help me?

Absolutely! Even patients who have dealt with neuropathy for years can benefit from treatment. While early intervention is ideal, we have helped long-term sufferers stop the progression of their condition and regain significant nerve function. Many of our patients see not only a halt in further damage but also a marked improvement in their symptoms and nerve health.

4. How do you determine the right treatment for Neuropathy?

Every case of neuropathy is different, which is why we start with a detailed evaluation. We assess your nerve function, medical history, and the specific cause of your neuropathy. With this information, we create a customized treatment plan designed to stop the progression of the disease and promote nerve healing, helping you regain as much function as possible.

5. Why is early treatment for Neuropathy important?

Early treatment offers the best chance for stopping neuropathy in its tracks and even reversing some of the nerve damage. The longer the condition goes untreated, the harder it is to regain full function. Many of our patients who sought treatment early have regained normal nerve function and experienced a complete resolution of their symptoms. Do not wait for your neuropathy to get worse—take action now for the best results.
