Condition
Neuropathy
Nerve damage in the feet causing burning, tingling, numbness, or balance issues.
What It Is
Understanding Neuropathy
There are several types of Neuropathy that can cause foot pain and discomfort, numbness and tingling, as well as aching and burning sensations throughout the foot and ankle. Idiopathic Neuropathy, Chemo-induced Neuropathy, Diabetic Neuropathy are some of the most common types of Neuropathy that cause foot pain. Morton’s Neuroma, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, and various compression Neuropathies throughout the legs and feet can cause foot pain and discomfort and requires proper diagnosis prior to treatment. Dr Joe is not a fan of Red-light therapy for Neuropathy and instead he and his team use Softwave, an advanced healing technology that has given Neuropathy patients pain relief and a renewed quality of life. This Shockwave treatment has been game changing for Diabetic Neuropathy treatment because not only does it reduce Neuropathy symptoms and foot pain but it is famous for angiogenesis or building new blood vessels. Diabetic Neuropathy patients need to be concerned with microvascular disease so participating in a Neuropathy treatment than can increase blood flow and circulation is a big bonus.
Symptoms
What You May Be Experiencing
- Burning or electric pain in the feet, especially at night
- Numbness that makes the floor feel distant or padded
- Tingling or pins-and-needles that comes in waves
- Loss of balance, especially on uneven surfaces
- Sharp, stabbing pains with no clear trigger
The Problem
Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short
Medications like Gabapentin and Lyrica mask nerve signaling but do nothing for the underlying nerve and circulation damage. Many patients feel sedated without feeling better, and the nerves themselves continue to deteriorate over time.
Our Approach
How SoftWave® Helps Neuropathy
SoftWave® shockwave therapy improves microcirculation in the tiny blood vessels feeding peripheral nerves and stimulates a regenerative healing response that medication cannot create. Patients commonly report restored sensation, better balance, and a meaningful drop in night-time burning over a treatment course.
FAQ
Neuropathy — Common Questions
Will SoftWave completely reverse my neuropathy?
Results depend on how long the nerves have been damaged. Most patients see meaningful improvement; long-standing cases respond, but improvement comes in stages over months.
Can I keep taking my neuropathy medication?
Yes. There’s no interaction. Many patients find they need lower doses — or stop them entirely — as treatment progresses, in coordination with their prescriber.
How many sessions will I need?
Neuropathy generally responds to a longer protocol — usually 8–12 sessions over a few months — because nerve regeneration takes time.
