Effective Non-Medication Treatment for Neuropathy and Chronic Nerve Pain

If you’re struggling with peripheral neuropathy or chronic nerve discomfort, relief is possible—without surgery or medication. At Active Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we offer innovative, non-invasive treatments designed to target the root causes of nerve damage and promote natural healing.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves are damaged, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Numbness and tingling
  • Burning pain
  • Muscle weakness
  • Deep stabbing pain
  • Balance problems
  • Loss of sensation

This damage can result from various factors, including poor blood flow, high blood sugar levels (as in diabetes), chronic infections, auto-immune diseases, toxin exposure, or genetic predispositions. Each patient’s condition is unique, so identifying the root cause is critical for effective treatment and nerve repair.

Can Peripheral Nerves Heal?

Yes! Scientific evidence shows that damaged nerves can regenerate when the underlying cause is addressed. Healing requires uncovering and stopping what’s causing the damage, while also providing optimal support for the nerves.

Key Factors for Effective Nerve Healing

To successfully treat neuropathy, four critical factors must be addressed:

  1. The Root Cause: What’s damaging your nerves?
  2. Severity: How extensive is the damage?
  3. Type of Nerve Damage: Are sensory or motor nerves affected?
  4. Required Treatment: How much care do the nerves need to heal?

Our Comprehensive Neuropathy Treatment Goals

Our program is built on a proprietary approach with four main goals:

  1. Optimize the body’s healing environment to support nerve regeneration.
  2. Improve blood flow to damaged nerves.
  3. Stimulate nerve repair for reduced pain and improved balance.
  4. Alleviate brain-based pain associated with neuropathy.

Relief from Foot and Heel Pain Caused by Plantar Fasciitis

Are you experiencing unexplained foot or heel pain when standing or walking? You might be suffering from Plantar Fasciitis, a common inflammatory condition affecting the ligament that supports your foot’s arch. At Active Family Chiropractic & Acupuncture, we specialize in diagnosing and treating this condition, helping you find lasting relief.

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—a ligament running from the heel to the toes—becomes inflamed. This condition often develops gradually, starting as tightness or a dull ache and progressing to sharp, stabbing pain.

! Scientific evidence shows that damaged nerves can regenerate when the underlying cause is addressed. Healing requires uncovering and stopping what’s causing the damage, while also providing optimal support for the nerves.

Common Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

  • Morning foot pain or stiffness when taking your first steps.
  • Pain after prolonged standing.
  • Discomfort following activity or climbing stairs.
  • Heel pain that worsens as the day progresses.
  • A deep, bruising sensation in the heel.

Pain can occur anywhere along the bottom of the foot but is most commonly felt in the heel.

How is Plantar Fasciitis Diagnosed?

As a musculoskeletal condition, Doctors of Chiropractic are experts in diagnosing and treating Plantar Fasciitis. A diagnosis is typically made through a review of your medical history and a clinical examination.

In some cases, X-rays may reveal a heel spur—a common finding associated with chronic tightness in the plantar fascia.
