What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy?

Neuropathy can have numerous underlying causes, including:

  • Diabetes: Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common causes, and it often affects the feet and legs of individuals with diabetes.
  • Trauma or Injury: Physical trauma, such as from accidents or sports injuries, can damage nerves.
  • Infections: Certain infections, like Lyme disease or HIV, can lead to neuropathy.
  • Toxins: Exposure to certain chemicals, medications, or toxins can damage nerves.
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like Guillain-Barré syndrome and lupus can result in neuropathy.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, can cause neuropathy.

Painful Nerve Sensation: Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms

Neuropathy affects the peripheral nervous system, causing a range of pain and discomfort in your hands, feet and elsewhere in your body. These neuropathy symptoms can include sensory disturbances in the extremities like tingling, numbness, burning sensations, sharp neuropathy pain, and motor impairments such as coordination problems and muscle weakness.

Neuropathy can also affect the autonomic nervous system, causing systemic problems affecting blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, and sweating (sometimes called autonomic neuropathy).

At St. Petersburg Spine and Joint Center, we recognize the complexity of neuropathy and its profound impact on your body and daily life. We understand how upsetting the recurring numbness, tingling and pain can be. That’s why we’re committed to offering personalized neuropathy treatment focused on the root cause of the problem to provide lasting relief from its symptoms.

How are Neuropathy Symptoms Treated Traditionally?

Common treatments for neuropathy are: Medications, pain management, prescription medications (antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and opioids) physical therapy, nerve blocks and injections. All of these treatment options only work to cover up the symptoms of the neuropathy and do not treat the condition or prevent progression of the disease.

Our Innovative Neuropathy Treatment St Petersburg FL

The traditional treatment option for neuropathy often focuses on the symptoms instead of the root cause of the condition. At our clinic, we take a different approach. We believe in targeting and repairing nerve damage, restoring function, and alleviating pain through innovative treatment options.

MLS Robotic Laser Therapy

One of the cornerstones of our treatment approach is an FDA-cleared, Class IV laser technology which synchronizes dual wavelengths with continuous and pulsed emissions. This is the most advanced laser therapy system available on the market today.
This state-of-the-art technology allows us to deliver precise and controlled energy to damaged nerves, helping patients by promoting cellular repair and regeneration. Laser therapy offers the benefits of stimulating tissue healing and reducing inflammation without invasive procedures or harmful side effects.

Shockwave Therapy

In addition to laser therapy, we utilize shockwave therapy to enhance the effectiveness of our treatments. Shockwave therapy delivers acoustic waves to targeted areas, stimulating blood flow, enhancing tissue regeneration, and reducing pain.

This non-invasive modality has shown promise in improving nerve function and alleviating neuropathic symptoms, providing our patients with a holistic approach to healing.

Targeted Medical Food Supplementation

We also understand the importance of nutritional support in promoting nerve health and function. That’s why we incorporate specialized medical food supplements containing essential nutrients that support nerve repair and regeneration in our treatments. These supplements provide the building blocks necessary for long-term recovery, complementing our other treatment modalities and promoting overall well-being.
