Neuropathy is a condition where nerves—most often in the hands or feet—are damaged or deteriorating. This damage can interrupt the normal flow of signals between your brain and body, leading to:
- Tingling or “pins and needles” sensations
- Numbness or reduced sensation
- Burning, stabbing, or shooting pain
- Weakness or balance issues
- Increased sensitivity (even light touch causes pain)
Causes include diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune disorders, infections, or injury. Many conventional treatments focus on symptom management using medications, but they don’t actually heal the nerves. Without proper intervention, symptoms often worsen.
At our Northbrook clinic, we specialize in therapies that go beyond symptom masking—we target the damaged nerves and support the body in healing itself.
