Peripheral Neuropathy and Nerve-Related Foot Pain Relief in Granite City
That burning, tingling, or numb feeling in your feet is not something to ignore. Peripheral neuropathy often starts subtly, then slowly chips away at balance, comfort, and independence. For many people, it shows up as pins and needles, sharp nerve pain, dull aches that travel up the legs, or a growing sense that the feet no longer feel “connected” to the ground. Walking feels uncertain. Driving becomes stressful. Even everyday tasks can feel risky.
Peripheral neuropathy most often affects the feet, though the hands may also be involved. In simple terms, it occurs when nerves lose healthy blood flow and begin to lose sensation. Without proper nerve communication, the body struggles to sense pressure, position, and movement. Over time, this can increase fall risk and limit mobility.
Common Signs That Neuropathy May Be Progressing
Many people assume these symptoms are just part of getting older, but they are not something you have to live with. Neuropathy symptoms often include numbness, tingling, burning, sharp pain, or aching that worsens with walking. Some people notice difficulty feeling pedals while driving or feel unsteady on uneven surfaces. Others describe a “sock bunched up” sensation or a total loss of awareness in the feet.
Who is This Condition Most Likely to Affect?
Peripheral neuropathy is more common in older adults, though it can also develop after chemotherapy, injuries, or metabolic conditions such as diabetes. In our Granite City clinic, many patients seek care after months or years of frustration, having tried medications that only dull symptoms or create unwanted side effects without improving nerve function.
How Neuropathy is Evaluated at Our Clinic
Each case of neuropathy is unique, which is why a detailed evaluation at Regenerative Health & Chiropractic, LTD is essential. A thorough 14-point nerve assessment is used to determine the severity of nerve involvement and its effects on balance, sensation, and daily movement. This approach allows care to be tailored rather than based on guesswork. The goal is to understand what the nerves are doing now, not just what symptoms feel like.
A Non-Invasive Approach Focused on Nerve Health
Care for neuropathy here does not involve injections, medications, or needles. The focus is on improving nerve signaling and circulation through gentle, non-invasive methods. Many components of your care can be done at home, making it realistic and sustainable for daily life. In-office visits are typically once per week for a structured period, followed by reassessment to determine next steps.
What Improvements Patients Often Notice
Progress depends on the extent of nerve changes, but many people notice early changes within the first few weeks. Increased sensation in the feet, better balance, and steadier walking are common early improvements. Some patients regain the ability to walk without assistive devices, return to activities they had given up, or feel secure enough to drive again. These changes can mean restored independence, not just reduced discomfort.
Take the Next Step Toward More Stability
If nerve symptoms are interfering with walking, balance, or daily confidence, it may be time to explore a different approach. If medications have not provided relief and you are seeking options that address nerve function rather than masking symptoms, our team offers a focused neuropathy program designed to help individuals regain control of their movement and lifestyle.
