If you or someone you love is dealing with neuropathy, you know just how debilitating it can be. The tingling, burning, numbness, and sharp pains in your hands or feet aren’t just uncomfortable—they can affect every aspect of daily life. As someone who’s worked closely with patients suffering from this condition, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles that come with it.
Neuropathy isn’t just a single condition; it’s a broad term that refers to nerve damage, often caused by diabetes, poor circulation, or even certain medications. While the symptoms might start out mild, over time, they can worsen, leading to more severe pain, muscle weakness, and even difficulty walking.
When I first opened Total Recovery PT, I knew I wanted to create a place where people could come and find real solutions—treatments that weren’t just about masking symptoms, but about addressing the root causes of their pain. That’s why, at Total Recovery PT, we specialize in treating neuropathy. We take a comprehensive approach that focuses on long-term healing, not just temporary relief.
Understanding Neuropathy: What’s Happening in Your Body?
Neuropathy happens when the nerves that send signals between your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body become damaged. These nerves can either be sensory, which control sensations like touch and temperature, or motor, which control muscle movement.
In most cases, neuropathy doesn’t just affect one area—it spreads. You may start with a sensation of pins and needles in your toes, but over time, the pain may move up your legs or arms, or the numbness might make it harder to do simple tasks like tying your shoes or holding a pen. This isn’t just frustrating; it’s life-changing.
How We Treat Neuropathy at Total Recovery PT
At Total Recovery PT, we take a holistic, personalized approach to treating neuropathy. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all method. Each patient has unique needs, and our treatment plans reflect that.
Here’s what you can expect when you come to see us:
1. Thorough Assessment
The first step in treatment is understanding what’s going on in your body. We start with a comprehensive evaluation to get to the root cause of your neuropathy. Is it due to diabetes? Circulation issues? Or something else? Identifying the cause helps us tailor a treatment plan that’s most effective for you.
2. Non-Invasive Treatments
One of the reasons I’m so passionate about our approach is that we focus on non-invasive methods to promote healing. We combine various therapeutic techniques that are designed to stimulate and regenerate the nerves. Some of these treatments include:
- Laser Therapy: Low-level laser therapy is a powerful tool for reducing pain and inflammation while promoting healing. It’s safe, effective, and doesn’t require any downtime.
- Electrical Stimulation: We use a cutting-edge device called the Neubie, which sends a direct current to your muscles and nerves, helping to re-activate nerve pathways and reduce pain. Unlike traditional electrical stimulation, the Neubie is unique because it mimics your body’s natural electrical flow, providing longer-lasting relief.
- Targeted Exercise Programs: Strengthening the muscles around damaged nerves can improve circulation, reduce pain, and help restore function. Our physical therapy programs are designed specifically for those with neuropathy to improve strength, flexibility, and balance.
3. Education and Lifestyle Guidance
Treating neuropathy is not just about in-office treatments; it’s also about making the right lifestyle choices at home. We work closely with you to develop strategies for managing your condition, including dietary suggestions and tips for staying active in ways that will improve circulation and nerve health.
Real Success Stories
We’ve had so many patients who’ve experienced remarkable improvements in their quality of life. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is seeing someone who thought they’d have to live with neuropathy forever, finally find relief. Whether it’s a patient with diabetic neuropathy who’s able to feel their feet again or a person who’s been struggling with pain and numbness, regaining function is truly life-changing.
One patient, Mary, came to us after years of constant pain in her feet and legs from diabetic neuropathy. She was using a cane to walk and had trouble even standing for more than a few minutes. After a few months of targeted therapy at Total Recovery PT, Mary was not only walking without a cane, but she was also able to return to gardening—a hobby she thought she’d lost forever.
Her story is one of many. The treatments we offer are designed to address the underlying causes of neuropathy, not just the symptoms.
