Non-invasive, drug-free peripheral neuropathy treatment
Peripheral neuropathy can cause burning pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness—often in the feet, legs, or hands. These symptoms can interfere with daily activities and significantly impact quality of life.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that helps reduce nerve-related pain and improve function by stimulating healing in the affected tissues. At Springs Chiropractic, we use ESWT to support patients dealing with chronic nerve irritation and neuropathic symptoms.
What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord become damaged or irritated. This can disrupt how signals are sent between the brain and the body.
Common symptoms include:
- Burning or sharp pain
- Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations
- Numbness or reduced sensation
- Muscle weakness
- Increased sensitivity to touch
Neuropathy can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic inflammation, poor circulation, repetitive stress, or underlying conditions such as diabetes.
How ESWT Helps With Neuropathy
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic waves delivered to targeted areas of the body to stimulate a healing response. While often used for soft tissue injuries, ESWT has shown promising results in helping reduce symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy. ESWT is also considered regenerative medicine, meaning it can help the body heal itself.
ESWT helps by:
- Improving circulation to nerves and surrounding tissues
- Stimulating nerve regeneration and repair
- Reducing inflammation that contributes to nerve irritation
- Decreasing pain sensitivity by calming overactive nerve signals
- Supporting cellular healing processes
By improving the environment around the nerve, ESWT can help reduce symptoms and improve overall function. Patients can also pair ESWT with EMTT to furth help with reducing inflammation and improving circulation.
Benefits of ESWT for Peripheral Neuropathy
Many patients choose ESWT because it offers a drug-free, non-invasive approach to managing nerve-related pain.
Key Benefits:
- Non-surgical and needle-free
- Minimal to no downtime
- Reduces burning, tingling, and pain
- Improves circulation and tissue health
- Supports long-term nerve function
- Can be used alongside other treatments such as EMTT or PRP
Patients often notice gradual improvement over a series of treatments as nerve function and tissue health improve.
What to Expect During Treatment
ESWT sessions are quick and well-tolerated.
- Treatments typically last 10–15 minutes
- A handheld device delivers acoustic waves to the affected area
- Patients may feel a tapping or pulsing sensation
- No downtime—you can return to normal activities right away
A typical treatment plan includes multiple sessions over several weeks for optimal results.
A Comprehensive Approach to Neuropathy Care
Peripheral neuropathy often requires a multi-faceted approach. ESWT can be combined with other therapies to improve outcomes.
At Springs Chiropractic, treatment plans may include:
- Chiropractic care to support nervous system function
- Circulation-focused therapies
- Soft tissue work
- Lifestyle and movement recommendations
This integrated approach helps address both symptoms and underlying causes.
