Neuropathy Q & A


What is neuropathy?

Neuropathy is a condition in which you experience nerve damage in your nerves, which are the nerves that send signals between your central nervous system and the rest of your body.

Nerves tell your brain if your feet are cold or you’ve touched a hot object. They are like cables that connect each part of your body back to your brain and spinal cord, so when they aren’t functioning properly, you experience mild symptoms, or they can be downright debilitating.


What are the symptoms of neuropathy?

Everyone experiences neuropathy differently, depending on the cause of the nerve damage and its severity.

Some common symptoms include:

  • Numbness, prickling, or tingling feelings in your hands or feet
  • Pain that gradually spreads upward from your extremities
  • Extreme sensitivity to touch or temperature changes
  • Sharp or stabbing pain
  • Burning or throbbing pain
  • Difficulty balancing or lack of coordination
  • Muscle weakness
  • Depending on which nerves are affected, you may also experience bladder, bowel, and digestive problems, or changes in blood pressure that cause dizziness.

What causes neuropathy?

Neuropathy is generally the result of many underlying conditions, including:

  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Diabetes
  • Exposure to toxins
  • Medications used to treat cancer
  • Genetics
  • Trauma or pressure to a specific nerve
  • Tumors
  • Vitamin deficiencies
  • Thyroid conditions

They create an individualized treatment plan to help improve your underlying health conditions, including better nutrition, to alleviate neuropathy symptoms for the long term.

How is neuropathy treated?

Depending on the health conditions that are contributing to your neuropathy pain and symptoms, your comprehensive therapeutic treatment plan may include:

  • Injection therapy
  • Stem cell therapy
  • Corrective exercises
  • Nutritional counseling

Healthier lifestyle and nutritional choices can make a big difference in your neuropathy symptoms.
