Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy

What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

It’s when the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord start breaking down. These nerves handle feeling, movement, and automatic body functions — so when they get damaged, you feel it everywhere.

What Causes It?

  • Diabetes – The most common cause.

  • Injuries – From accidents, surgeries, or repetitive motion.

  • Infections – Like shingles or Lyme disease.

  • Autoimmune Disorders – Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

  • Toxins – Things like alcohol, chemotherapy, or heavy metals.

  • Vitamin Deficiency – Especially low B vitamins.

Signs You Might Have It

If you’re experiencing any of these, it’s time to get evaluated:

  • Tingling or numbness in feet or hands

  • Burning or stabbing pain

  • Muscle weakness or cramping

  • Balance problems or frequent falls

  • High sensitivity to touch

  • Digestive changes or blood pressure swings

How We Diagnose It at Associates in Relief

We don’t guess. Here’s our process:

  • Medical History Review – To identify risk factors and symptom patterns.

  • Physical & Neuro Exam – Testing strength, reflexes, sensation, and coordination.

  • Blood Work – To rule out diabetes, infections, or vitamin deficiencies.

  • Imaging (if needed) – MRI or CT scans to check for structural issues.

  • Nerve Function Testing – To measure how well your nerves are firing.

Our Laser Therapy Approach

Our advanced laser therapy uses concentrated light energy to reach deep into damaged tissue and nerve pathways. This helps:

  • Reduce pain and inflammation

  • Improve circulation

  • Stimulate nerve repair

  • Boost healing at the cellular level

It’s completely non-invasive, drug-free, and painless — with no downtime. Most patients notice improvement within a few sessions.

Why Associates in Relief?

  • Experienced Team – Specialists who understand nerve-related pain inside and out.

  • Proven Technology – Safe, effective treatment backed by science.

  • Whole-Body Approach – We treat the source, not just the symptoms.

Don’t Let Nerve Pain Run Your Life

Peripheral neuropathy only gets worse if ignored. Laser therapy can help you get back to living without constant pain or discomfort.

Let’s fix the problem — not just cover it up.

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain doesn’t just show up after a big injury. It sneaks in from daily habits—overhead lifting, reaching, poor posture, or even just sleeping wrong. And once it’s there, it limits everything: reaching, driving, lifting, working, sleeping.

Plantar Fasciitis

If that first step out of bed feels like stepping on glass—or your heel throbs after being on your feet all day—you’re likely dealing with plantar fasciitis. It’s one of the most common (and frustrating) causes of heel pain. Left untreated, it doesn’t just go away—it gets worse.

Vertigo

Vertigo isn’t just a little dizziness—it can make you feel like your entire world is tilting, spinning, or completely off balance. If standing up, moving your head, or even lying down triggers disorientation or nausea, you’re not alone.

Hip Pain

If every step, bend, or movement comes with pain in your hips, you’re not alone. Whether it’s sharp, dull, tight, or radiating into your back or legs — hip pain is a red flag, and ignoring it only makes it worse.

Elbow Pain

Elbow pain isn’t just for athletes or weightlifters. If your job, workouts, or daily routine involve repetitive motion—like typing, lifting, gripping, or even driving—you’re at risk. Overuse, poor form, and joint stress are common culprits behind nagging elbow pain.

Knee Pain

Knee pain can have a variety of causes, and regardless of how knee pain developed, it can interfere with your ability to complete daily tasks. The knees can hurt due to age or following cast removal for a broken bone.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy is the name of a condition that occurs when one or more nerves have become damaged or dysfunctional. It is characterized by sensations of numbness, weakness, and pain that affect the body as a result of nerve damage.

Degenerative Disc Disease

With degenerative disc disease, the rubbery cushions between the spinal vertebrae become damaged and begin to wear away, making it to where the spine cannot properly flex and support the body.

Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain affects many adults and can cause a great deal of discomfort. Pain can range from mild to severe, and depending on the severity, it can greatly impact your daily life.

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when tissues on the wrist compress the median nerve in the hand. The syndrome results in pain, numbness, and a tingling sensation in the arm or hand. Pain is usually more intense closer to the thumb.

Soft Tissue Injuries

Soft tissue injuries refer to injuries to the body’s soft tissues such as bruises, sprains, and nerve damage. Soft tissue injuries may also affect the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels.

Spinal Misalignment

Spinal misalignment can be the result of a number of issues. The spine can become misaligned due to an accident, past injury, tension on the spine, or even emotional distress.

Bulging Discs

Discs are composed of cartilage layers that provide cushioning between the vertebrae in the spine. They absorb shock and support the body’s weight as the spine moves throughout the day.

Foot Pain

There are several reasons why a person may experience foot pain. As such, people whose daily activities are negatively affected by foot pain may wonder what treatment options they have. Depending on the underlying cause of the pain, a chiropractor may be able to provide non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical relief.

Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can take many forms. They can occur from falls, over-exertion, improper form, or incorrect technique. Unfortunately, these types of injuries impact over 3.5 million athletes per year and left untreated, some of these injuries can cause permanent bodily damage.

Arthritis

Arthritis pain is brought on due to swelling and tenderness in the joints, which makes it difficult or painful for an individual to move. The main two types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, both of which have similar symptoms but different causes.

Common Disc Conditions

Specific spinal disc conditions can produce a set of symptoms that varies from the symptoms produced by another disc condition. Then again, two patients with the same disc condition may experience different symptoms.

Neck Pain

Several health conditions can lead to neck pain, many of which do not stem from illness or disease. Neck pain can be brought on by strain and tension, sleeping without proper support, and prolonged sitting.

Fibromyalgia

It’s unclear what causes fibromyalgia, but it’s a common and chronic pain disorder affecting millions of people in the US. The development of fibromyalgia is likely related to the way the brain processes pain responses.

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is an irregular curvature of the spine. It often appears before puberty but can develop in adulthood as you age. Many cases of scoliosis are relatively minor, but some cases cause Chronic Pain, stiffness and other long-term issues.

Pinched Nerve

Nerve compression or “pinched nerves” occur when excess pressure is applied to nerves. This pressure can be from muscles, bones, or tendons, and when the pressure is placed, it disrupts the normal function of the nerve.

Herniated Discs

Herniated discs can impact your ability to perform daily tasks and affect your quality of life. Discs are located between the bones of your spine and act as shock absorbers.
