Understanding Neuropathy:

Causes, Symptoms, and Risk Factors

Neuropathy refers to nerve damage affecting the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. The condition often leads to discomfort such as numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness. Neuropathy is commonly caused by diabetes, poor circulation, injuries, toxins, and autoimmune disorders.

Common causes of neuropathy include:

  • Diabetes – High blood sugar levels damage nerves over time.

  • Injuries – Physical trauma can damage or compress nerves.

  • Toxins – Alcohol, chemotherapy, or certain medications may cause nerve damage.

  • Autoimmune Diseases – Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can lead to neuropathy.

  • Infections – Viruses or bacterial infections can damage nerves.

Common Neuropathy Symptoms:

Recognize the Signs Early

If you’re experiencing unexplained discomfort in your hands, feet, or legs, it may be a sign of neuropathy. This condition often manifests with a range of symptoms that can affect your daily life. Recognizing these early signs is crucial for effective treatment and preventing further nerve damage.

Below are the common symptoms associated with neuropathy:

  • Tingling or "pins and needles" sensations in the hands, feet, or legs

  • Burning or shooting pain in the affected areas

  • Numbness or lack of sensation, particularly in the feet or hands

  • Muscle weakness, making it hard to lift or grasp objects

  • Balance problems, making walking or standing difficult

  • Sensitivity to touch, even with light contact

What Happens If You Ignore Neuropathy?

The Risks You Should Know

Ignoring neuropathy can lead to progressive nerve damage and permanent loss of sensation and function. The longer the condition goes untreated, the harder it becomes to reverse the damage.

Risks of untreated neuropathy include:

  • Chronic pain: The discomfort associated with neuropathy can become long-lasting and debilitating.

  • Muscle weakness and atrophy: If nerve signals are blocked or damaged, muscles weaken, leading to difficulty walking, holding objects, or even performing daily tasks.

  • Increased risk of falls and injuries: Loss of sensation and balance issues increase the risk of tripping and falling.

  • Permanent nerve damage: Over time, untreated neuropathy can result in irreversible damage, leading to the inability to move or feel certain areas of the body.

  • Infection risk: In severe cases, loss of sensation in the feet or hands can prevent individuals from noticing cuts, blisters, or infections, leading to further complications.

  • Amputation: Unmanaged neuropathy can lead to amputations, usually of the toes, feet, or legs.

Early treatment can stop neuropathy from progressing and can help reverse damage, giving you a chance for a pain-free, active life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about neuropathy?

Find answers to the most common concerns about symptoms, treatment, and recovery.

Q1: Can neuropathy be reversed?

In many cases, early treatment can reverse or significantly reduce symptoms of neuropathy. If left untreated, nerve damage can become permanent, so starting care sooner is crucial for the best outcomes.

Q2: How long will it take to see results from treatment?

Patients typically start noticing improvements within 4–6 weeks of consistent care. However, recovery time can vary depending on the severity and underlying cause of neuropathy.

Q3: Is laser therapy safe for treating neuropathy?

Yes, Photobiomodulation Therapy is FDA-cleared and non-invasive. It is safe, effective, and painless, with no downtime required after treatments.

Q4: Will I need to stop my daily activities during treatment?

Most patients can continue their daily routines while undergoing treatment. We do recommend avoiding strenuous activities during the early phases of treatment to allow for healing.

Q5: Are there any lifestyle changes I need to make?

We may recommend dietary adjustments, exercise (to strengthen muscles and improve circulation), and posture correction to help manage neuropathy symptoms and prevent further nerve damage.

Q6: Will my neuropathy symptoms come back after treatment?

Addressing the underlying cause of neuropathy—like diabetes or poor circulation—is key to lasting relief. We work with you to create personalized, long-term strategies that help manage symptoms and prevent them from returning. These plans are best discussed in person so we can tailor guidance to your unique needs and answer all your questions.

Q7: How do I know this treatment is right for me?

Effective neuropathy care goes beyond a single treatment. We focus on creating a customized plan that combines advanced therapies like laser therapy and spinal decompression with long-term strategies to manage symptoms and support healing. These details are best explained in person so we can tailor the plan specifically for you.
