Peripheral neuropathy can feel like a relentless struggle—tingling, numbness, burning pain, and discomfort in the hands or feet that disrupts your daily life. At Healthy One Weight Loss, we know how frustrating neuropathy can be—and more importantly, we know there are effective, non-invasive ways to treat it.
This in-depth guide walks you through neuropathy care options that don’t rely on harsh drugs or surgery. Whether your symptoms stem from diabetes, chemotherapy, injury, or unknown causes, there is hope for healing.
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves—those outside the brain and spinal cord—become damaged or disrupted. These nerves are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. When they’re impaired, it interferes with normal nerve signaling and leads to a range of uncomfortable and sometimes debilitating symptoms.
Tingling or prickling sensations are often the first signs of neuropathy. Many patients describe these as a “pins and needles” feeling, especially in the hands or feet. This sensation may start mildly and become more persistent over time.
Burning or stabbing pain is another hallmark of nerve damage. Unlike muscle or joint pain, this discomfort often feels like fire or electric shocks running through the affected areas, and it can flare up without warning—especially at night.
Numbness or a ‘pins and needles’ feeling can make it hard to feel textures, temperatures, or even pain. This can lead to injuries going unnoticed, especially in the feet, increasing the risk for infection or further damage.
Muscle weakness may occur when motor nerves are affected. This can lead to difficulty with tasks that require coordination, like holding objects, walking, or climbing stairs. Over time, this weakness can cause reduced mobility and independence.
Poor balance and coordination result from the nervous system’s inability to properly communicate with the muscles and joints. People with peripheral neuropathy often feel unsteady on their feet and may be more prone to falls.
It can affect sensory nerves (pain and temperature), motor nerves (movement), or autonomic nerves (involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion). The most common form is diabetic neuropathy, but other causes include:
Diabetes (Diabetic Neuropathy)
The most common form of peripheral neuropathy is caused by prolonged elevated blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Over time, excess glucose damages the delicate nerve fibers, especially in the hands and feet. This type of neuropathy can lead to severe complications like infections, ulcers, and even amputations if not managed properly. At Healthy One, we offer holistic wellness and weight loss programs that also support blood sugar regulation to reduce neuropathy risk.
Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy
Certain cancer treatments can be neurotoxic, leading to numbness, tingling, and pain in the extremities—sometimes long after treatment ends. Known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), this condition can make daily activities difficult. Our non-invasive, restorative therapies can help reduce symptoms and improve function.
Chronic Alcohol Use
Excessive alcohol consumption leads to nutritional deficiencies—particularly of B vitamins—and has a direct toxic effect on the nerves. Over time, alcohol-related neuropathy can cause burning, numbness, and weakness, especially in the legs. Our personalized wellness plans include nutritional counseling to address these deficiencies and promote nerve repair.
Vitamin Deficiencies (Especially B12)
Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining healthy nerve function. A deficiency can lead to serious neurological problems, including memory loss, numbness, and muscle weakness. At Healthy One, we assess nutritional imbalances through lab testing and can provide B12 injections or supplements as part of your neuropathy recovery plan.
Autoimmune Diseases
Conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Guillain-Barré syndrome can trigger the immune system to attack nerve tissue. This autoimmune reaction causes inflammation and damage to peripheral nerves, leading to symptoms like pain, fatigue, and numbness. Our integrative approach includes lifestyle and nutritional interventions to reduce systemic inflammation and support immune balance.
Chronic Inflammation
Persistent inflammation—whether from untreated infections, obesity, or autoimmune conditions—can damage nerve tissue over time. It disrupts nerve signaling and can increase pain sensitivity. Through anti-inflammatory diet plans, guided exercise, and chiropractic care, we help lower inflammation levels naturally.
Nerve Compression or Physical Injury
Sometimes neuropathy results from physical compression, as in carpal tunnel syndrome or sciatica. Injuries from accidents, repetitive motion, or prolonged poor posture can pinch nerves and lead to neuropathic symptoms. At Healthy One, we combine chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, and posture correction to relieve pressure and restore healthy nerve function.
Doctors often prescribe medications like gabapentin, pregabalin, or antidepressants to dull the pain. While these may offer temporary relief, they often come with side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, or dependency. Worse, they don’t address the root cause—they only mask the symptoms.
That’s why more patients are turning to non-invasive and holistic neuropathy care.
At Healthy One Weight Loss, we don’t just mask symptoms—we work to restore nerve health from the inside out. Our non-invasive neuropathy treatments are safe, drug-free, and customized for each patient. By combining modern technology with holistic wellness, we address the root causes of nerve pain and help you reclaim a pain-free, active lifestyle.
Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into damaged tissue and stimulate cellular regeneration. It increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and speeds up healing.
Boosts oxygen delivery to nerves
Encourages tissue repair
Reduces swelling and pain
Improves nerve function over time
Most patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, with consistent progress over a 6–12 week program.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) delivers mild electrical pulses through the skin to block pain signals. This method also increases endorphin production (your body’s natural painkiller) and improves blood flow.
We may also use Interferential Current Therapy (IFC) or Scrambler Therapy, which provide deeper stimulation and longer-lasting relief.
Immediate pain relief for many patients
Can be used at home with proper guidance
Non-invasive, safe, and well-tolerated
Infrared therapy involves the use of near-infrared light, which penetrates the skin and helps stimulate the production of nitric oxide, a natural vasodilator.
This opens up blood vessels and improves oxygen and nutrient delivery to nerves, making it one of the most effective non-invasive tools for neuropathy recovery.
Many neuropathy cases—especially those from diabetes, alcohol use, or poor diet—are linked to vitamin deficiencies or oxidative stress.
We focus on restoring nerve health from the inside out using nutrients proven to support nerve repair, including:
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is one of the most critical nutrients for nerve health. It plays a key role in regenerating the myelin sheath—the protective covering around nerves that ensures proper signal transmission. A deficiency in B12 can lead to nerve degeneration and symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and weakness. At Healthy One, we assess your B12 levels and provide supplementation when needed to support optimal nerve function and repair.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that fights oxidative stress, one of the main contributors to nerve damage. ALA also improves blood flow and glucose metabolism, making it especially effective for those with diabetic neuropathy. By reducing inflammation and protecting nerves from further injury, ALA enhances the body’s natural healing processes.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Acetyl-L-Carnitine supports energy production within the mitochondria of nerve cells, helping restore their vitality and function. It also has neuroprotective effects, improving nerve regeneration and reducing pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. At Healthy One, we often include this supplement in our comprehensive care plans for its ability to support long-term nerve health.
Magnesium
Magnesium plays a vital role in muscle relaxation, nerve transmission, and cellular health. Deficiency in magnesium can contribute to heightened nerve sensitivity, cramping, and restless limbs. Through targeted nutritional strategies, we ensure your magnesium levels are optimized to promote balanced nerve signaling and overall comfort.
