Neuropathy Treatment Near Me
in Jacksonville, FL
Burning, tingling, and numbness should not control your day. Our neuropathy treatment begins with a focused functional evaluation that looks at movement, blood flow, and the behaviors that keep nerves irritated. From those insights, we design a plan that reduces neuropathic pain, supports circulation, and helps you regain steady comfort at home and on the move.
At Active Health, care is coordinated by an integrated team. Your program may include targeted physical therapy, spinal decompression when appropriate, and regenerative options that encourage tissue health. The aim is measurable progress you can feel in daily life.
What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to nerve damage in the peripheral nervous system, the network that carries information between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. When these nerves are inflamed or injured, signals become distorted, leading to symptoms such as tingling, foot numbness, leg pain, burning sensations, weakness, or balance changes.
While diabetes is a frequent trigger, neuropathy can also follow nerve compression, poor circulation, vitamin or metabolic deficits, infections, or other causes. Our neuropathy treatment targets the root contributors and follows a staged plan aimed at lasting improvement, not short-term relief.
Common Causes of Neuropathy
To get lasting relief, we first identify what keeps your nerves irritated. Our evaluation reviews your medical history, activity and training habits, recovery routines, and key lab or metabolic markers to pinpoint the factors sustaining your symptoms.
Blood Sugar Imbalances
Long-standing glucose issues can injure small vessels that nourish nerve fibers. Consistent management protects nerve health over time.
Poor Circulation
When blood flow is limited, nerves receive less oxygen and nutrients. This often shows up first in the feet and lower legs.
Nerve Compression or Injury
Herniated discs, entrapment, or prior trauma may create ongoing nerve irritation and focal neuropathic pain.
Vitamin and Metabolic Deficits
Low B vitamins and other metabolic gaps reduce the body’s ability to repair nerve tissue.
Autoimmune and Post-Infectious Changes
Immune activity or past infections can inflame nerves and alter their function.
Idiopathic Neuropathy
Sometimes the exact cause is unclear. Even then, a structured plan can improve comfort, control, and resilience.
What Symptoms Does Neuropathy Cause?
Symptoms depend on which nerves are affected, but they commonly interfere with movement, comfort, and daily confidence. If these problems persist, a professional evaluation and early neuropathy treatment improve the chance of meaningful recovery.
- Persistent tingling or “pins and needles” in the feet, hands, or legs.
- Numbness or reduced sensation, often beginning in the toes or soles.
- Burning, sharp, or electric-like pain that can worsen at night.
- Muscle weakness, cramping, or trouble with coordination.
- Heightened sensitivity to light touch from socks or bedsheets.
- Unsteady gait, frequent stumbling, or balance changes.
- Temperature sensitivity, skin discoloration, or thinning of the skin in the lower limbs.
What are the Neuropathy Treatment Options?
Your neuropathy treatment follows staged goals: calm irritation, restore motion, and strengthen the systems that support nerve health so improvements hold up in daily life.
Targeted exercise progressions and hands-on techniques improve mechanics, boost local circulation, and increase load tolerance. Home progressions are simple to follow, so you rebuild capacity without repeated flare-ups.
When disc-related compression contributes to nerve pain, gentle spinal unloading can reduce irritation and improve comfort for sitting, standing, and walking.
Selected biologic and energy-based therapies support blood flow and tissue recovery. For persistent tendon or joint problems that worsen nerve symptoms, platelet‒rich plasma therapy (PRP) is offered as a treatment option.
Focused acoustic waves can help improve local circulation and tissue responsiveness after activity. We use GAINSWave® for recovery selectively when increased blood flow and soft-tissue response will support your rehab plan.
Instrument-assisted and movement-based methods, such as soft tissue mobilization, reduce fascial restrictions, restore glide, and free structures that compress nerves.
Brief sessions of high-velocity sound waves are used selectively to support local comfort and make follow-up manual care more effective when training loads are high.
A clear home program targets the weak link, improves balance, and stabilizes key joints so walking and training feel easier and safer.
Performance labs analyze gait and balance to find inefficient patterns that increase nerve stress and fall risk. Using high-speed video and targeted drills, we improve stride, reduce overload, and protect vulnerable nerves in the feet and lower legs.
Neuropathy Treatment FAQs
What is neuropathy?
Neuropathy is damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves that transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and body. It can cause tingling, numbness, burning pain, weakness, or balance problems. Identifying which nerves are affected is key to effective treatment.
What causes neuropathy?
Neuropathy can result from blood sugar imbalances, poor circulation, nerve compression, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, infections, or unknown causes. Determining the underlying factors helps guide a personalized treatment plan.
Can neuropathy be reversed?
Some types of neuropathy can improve when the root cause is addressed and nerves receive proper support. Recovery depends on the cause and duration of damage, but treatments that improve circulation, nerve mechanics, and metabolic balance offer the best results.
Do compression socks help neuropathy?
Compression socks can help neuropathy symptoms when swelling or poor circulation are involved. They work best as part of a comprehensive plan that also includes proper footwear, activity adjustments, and nerve-focused therapies.
