What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a progressive disease that can cause damage to or disease affecting the nerves in various parts of the body, including the feet, legs, arms, hands, and back. Ignoring its early signs can lead to non-treatable status, so it's important to address it as soon as possible. Some of the symptoms people with Neuropathy experience include:
- Numbness

- Numb or painful feet and hands

What Causes Neuropathy?
Neuropathy can have various causes, including:
- Diabetes
- Chemotherapy
- Alcoholism
- Vitamin deficiencies, particularly B vitamins
- Trauma
- Exposure to toxins
- Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
- Infections such as Lyme disease, shingles, Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis C, and HIV
In some cases, the cause of Neuropathy may be unknown. It's important to identify the underlying cause of Neuropathy to effectively manage the symptoms and prevent further nerve damage.
Why seek treatment for my Neuropathy symptoms?
Over time, untreated Neuropathy can lead to a loss of sensation and motor function in the affected areas, which can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks and even lead to falls and injuries. It can also affect your balance and coordination, which can further increase the risk of falls.
In severe cases, Neuropathy can lead to complications such as infections, ulcers, and amputations. This is particularly true for individuals with diabetes, where high blood sugar levels can cause damage to the nerves and blood vessels, leading to poor circulation and delayed healing.
It's extremely important to seek treatment for Neuropathy as early as possible to prevent further damage and complications.
At Active Health Clinics, we offer advanced and personalized Neuropathy treatment through our Laser Therapy which can help reduce pain and inflammation, promote healing, and improve nerve function.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Does neuropathy go away on its own?
Neuropathy can sometimes go away on its own, particularly if it is caused by a reversible condition such as a vitamin deficiency or medication side effect. However, in many cases, neuropathy is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management to control symptoms and prevent further damage.
What is a "Laser Treatment"
A "Laser Treatment" is a non-invasive medical procedure that uses a focused beam of light to treat various conditions, such as neuropathy. In neuropathy treatment, a laser device is used to increase circulation, promote oxygen release from the bloodstream, and enhance the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the cells. This results in increased cell proliferation and migration, modulation of cytokines levels, growth factors, and inflammatory mediators, and increased tissue oxygenation. The mechanics of delivering laser treatments typically involve using a treatment wand that is held perpendicular to the body part being treated, and moved slowly enough for the patient to feel mild warmth, but not overheat the skin. The treatment schedule may involve multiple sessions spread out over several weeks, depending on the specific condition being treated and the patient's response to the treatment.
Why hasn’t my other doctor told me about these types of treatment options?
It's possible that your previous doctor was not aware of the specific treatment options offered at Active Health Clinics, or they may not specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation. At Active Health Clinics, our team of experts specializes in providing non-invasive and personalized treatments for Neuropathy to help reduce pain and improve function.
What vitamins are good for neuropathy?
Several vitamins and supplements have been shown to help reduce the symptoms of Neuropathy and support nerve health. These include B vitamins (particularly B12), alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin D, and magnesium. However, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
