Symptoms and Causes of Peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is primarily caused by damage to the peripheral nerves, which can result from various factors, including nerve root compression in the spine, diabetes, infections, injuries, toxins, and certain medical conditions. It often leads to symptoms like tingling, numbness, pain, and muscle weakness, significantly affecting daily activities and quality of life. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and addressing underlying causes.
Treatments of Neuropathy
At Back Pain Relief Ohio & Columbus NeuroDoc, we see first-hand how peripheral neuropathy can significantly impact people's lives by causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the limbs, which can hinder mobility and balance. This may lead to difficulties in performing daily activities such as walking, driving, or even using hands for tasks. Additionally, the emotional toll can be substantial, as chronic pain and limitations may contribute to feelings of frustration, anxiety, or depression. Social interactions and work life can also be affected due to these physical and emotional challenges.

Electro Analgesia Therapy
One of our successful therapies, Electro Analgesia Therapy by NeuroMed Matrix is designed to help individuals with peripheral neuropathy by addressing the underlying nerve dysfunction and promoting healing through various modalities. It often involves the use of electrical stimulation, thermal therapies, and rehabilitation techniques that aim to reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance nerve function. Many patients report relief from symptoms such as pain and tingling after undergoing NeuroMed Matrix Therapy, leading to improved daily functioning and quality of life.
Low-level Laser Therapy
Microlight 830 laser therapy is used for peripheral neuropathy, as it utilizes low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to stimulate healing and reduce pain. The laser penetrates the skin and promotes cellular repair, increases circulation, and reduces inflammation in the affected areas. Many patients experience relief from symptoms such as burning, tingling, and numbness after receiving Microlight 830 laser therapy, potentially improving their overall quality of life.
