Condition
Peripheral Neuropathy: Symptoms, Causes & Regenerative Treatment
Burning, tingling, or numbness from damaged nerves in the feet.
What It Is
Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage that most often shows up in the feet — burning, electric tingling, numbness, or the strange feeling of walking on socks that aren’t there. It can come from diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune disease, or simply years of poor circulation.
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
- Pins-and-needles tingling that comes and goes
- Loss of balance, particularly on uneven surfaces
- Sharp, stabbing pains with no clear trigger
The Problem
Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short
Gabapentin, Lyrica, and similar medications mask nerve signaling but do nothing for the underlying nerve and circulation damage. Patients often describe feeling sedated without feeling better. The nerves themselves continue to deteriorate.
Our Approach
How SoftWave® Helps Peripheral Neuropathy
SoftWave therapy improves microcirculation in the small blood vessels feeding peripheral nerves and stimulates a regenerative healing response that medication cannot create. Many patients report restored sensation, better balance, and a meaningful drop in night-time burning over a treatment course.
FAQ
Peripheral Neuropathy — Common Questions
Will SoftWave reverse my neuropathy completely?
Most patients notice softening of morning heel pain within the first 2–3 sessions. Full tissue healing continues for 8–12 weeks after the treatment series.
Can I keep taking my neuropathy medication?
You’ll feel a strong tapping sensation, but it isn’t painful in the way an injection is. There’s no anesthesia required and no downtime afterward.
Is this safe for diabetics?
No. We ask you to avoid heavy impact for 48 hours after each session, but normal walking, work, and most daily activity continue throughout the program.
How many sessions will I need?
SoftWave is still effective and is often more durable than repeat injections. Many of our plantar fasciitis patients come to us specifically because shots stopped working.
