Neuropathy Treatment in Sudbury, MA

Understanding neuropathy

Neuropathy is one of the most discouraging diagnoses patients bring us, because so many have been told there is nothing to do but manage it with medication. Our approach is different: non-invasive care that works on circulation and nerve irritation, the conditions nerves need to calm down and function.

Neuropathy means the peripheral nerves themselves are damaged or irritated, most often in the feet and hands. It can follow diabetes, injury, or years of compression, and sometimes the source is pressure on nerve roots up in the spine that echoes all the way down the limb.

It usually starts subtly, a patch of numbness, pins and needles that visit at night, feet that burn after a day on them. Over time it can steal the small securities you never thought about: feeling the floor under your feet, trusting your balance in the dark, buttoning a shirt without looking.

We meet many MetroWest patients who have quietly adjusted their lives around these symptoms for years before finding us here in Sudbury. Their most common regret is waiting so long to have it evaluated properly.

At your first visit we work out where the nerve trouble actually lives, in the limb, the spine, or both, because that determines the plan. Treatment is non-invasive and medication free, often combining shockwave therapy to support circulation and tissue repair around irritated nerves with spinal decompression when compression in the spine is contributing.
