Take Control of Neuropathy

Personalized treatment that restores sensation, alleviates pain, and improves quality of life.

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition affecting the peripheral nervous system—the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord—resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, and even muscle weakness. With more than 100 identified causes ranging from diabetes (affecting 30–50% of patients) and chemotherapy to trauma and heavy metal toxicity, neuropathy can compromise balance, mobility, and overall quality of life. Our approach is rooted in the latest research and innovative therapies, including the Summus Laser treatment that targets the legs and feet directly—addressing nerve dysfunction at its source rather than solely working on the brain.

Symptoms & Causes

Common Symptoms:

  • Numbness, tingling, and a “glove and sock” sensation

  • Sharp, jabbing, burning, or throbbing pain

  • Loss of sensation that can lead to falls or difficulty driving

  • Muscle weakness and loss of balance, sometimes progressing to paralysis if motor nerves are affected

Underlying Causes:

  • Diabetes, chemotherapy, idiopathic origins

  • Alcoholism, thyroid imbalances, and certain medications (statins, some antibiotics, blood pressure meds)

  • Heavy metal toxicity, trauma, and other less common conditions

Early diagnosis and intervention are key to preventing complications such as falls and even limb loss.

Treatment Options

We offer personalized treatment plans that integrate conventional approaches with innovative therapies. The Summus Laser treatment is designed to work directly on the affected areas—providing relief where it’s needed most. While medications target the brain to manage pain, laser therapy promotes local healing in the legs and feet by improving vascular health and nerve function. This dual strategy helps restore sensation, reduce pain, and ultimately improve mobility and quality of life.
