What Most People Don’t Realize
Many patients assume neuropathy is only about pain — but in reality, loss of sensation is often the biggest issue.
Symptoms often start in the toes
Symptoms progress into the bottom of the foot through the top of the foot to the ankle.
Progress gradually up the feet and legs
Can affect balance and stability
What Patients Often Experience
Pain
Achy, sharp, or stabbing pain in the feet or legs.
Burning Sensations
Burning or searing feelings, often worse at night.
Cold Sensations
Feeling of cold or ice in the feet, even when warm.
Shooting Sensations
Sudden, electrical or shooting pains.
Numbness & Tingling
Pins and needles or loss of feeling in the feet.
Balance & Coordination Issues
Unsteadiness or difficulty with walking, driving, stairs, or daily activities. This is the #1 reason people seek our care.
As nerve function improves, symptoms improve as well.
These improvements can be measured and tracked over time using objective testing, so you can see your progress.
How Symptoms Typically Progress
Neuropathy usually begins in the toes and progresses over time. The areas affected and the severity can vary from person to person.
Early Stage
Symptoms limited to toes
Mild Progression
Symptoms spread to the ball of the foot
Moderate Progression
Symptoms extend across the foot
Advanced Progression
Symptoms move into the lower part of the leg
Severe Progression
Symptoms may reach higher into the legs
In some cases, as symptoms progress, similar changes may begin to appear in the hands or fingertips.
We commonly evaluate both upper and lower extremities when needed.
Your symptoms may not follow a typical pattern—and that’s okay. With over 20 years of experience treating neuropathy, we focus on your particular presentation, so your care is tailored to you.
We help patients at every stage.
It’s never too early — and never too late — to get answers.
Early detection and consistent care can help
prevent progression and improve outcomes.
These improvements can be measured and tracked over time using objective testing, so you can see your progress.
How We Evaluate Your Symptoms
At our clinic, we don’t just ask how you feel — we measure it. Our testing is quick, safe, and completely non-invasive.
Light Touch
Assesses the ability to feel light pressure on the skin.
Vibration
Measures nerve response to vibration using a tuning fork.
Pinprick Sensation
Evaluates the body’s response to a small, controlled stimulus.
Surface Area Mapping
We map the exact areas of reduced sensation to track changes over time.
This detailed, objective approach allows us to create a personalized care plan and accurately track your improvement.
Why Early Changes Matter
Most patients will begin to notice changes within the first few visits. Our testing helps us confirm early improvements.
Increased Sensation
You may notice feeling in areas that were previously numb or tingling.
Reduced Surface Area
The areas affected by neuropathy can shrink as nerves recover.
Improved Balance
Better sensation can lead to improved stability and confidence in daily activities.
Find Out If You’re Responding — Early
After just 1–2 visits, we can determine if your body is responding to care. Don’t wait to take the first step toward relief.
