Neuropathy Treatment in Chicago
Neuropathy treatment in Chicago for burning, tingling or numb feet and hands that make walking, sleeping or simple tasks harder. At True Precision Rehab in River North, Dr. Parth Sharma, DC looks at where the nerves are irritated or under pressure and builds a plan that includes the Stimpod, hands-on care and exercise.
When neuropathy treatment can help
Peripheral neuropathy means the nerves in the hands, feet or legs are not working the way they should. It can come from diabetes, chemotherapy, vitamin shortfalls, past injuries or nerves pinched along the way. People most often come to us with:
-
Burning, tingling or pins and needles in the feet or toes
-
Numb feet that make it hard to feel the floor or the pedals
-
Tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers
-
Sharp or electric pains that come and go, often worse at night
-
Feeling unsteady on your feet, especially in the dark or on ice
-
Cold, heavy or weak-feeling legs after walking a few blocks
Get urgent care first if numbness or weakness comes on suddenly, spreads quickly, affects one side of the face or body, or comes with trouble speaking. If you have diabetes, a foot sore that is not healing needs your doctor right away.
How neuropathy treatment works
Nerves carry messages between your spine and your hands and feet. When a nerve is irritated, squeezed or not getting what it needs, those messages get noisy. That shows up as burning, tingling or numbness. Some causes need medical care from your physician, and some come from pressure on a nerve at the spine, wrist, elbow or ankle. We check both, so your plan fits the cause.
Our neuropathy treatment process
-
Assessment first. We test feeling, reflexes, strength and balance, and look for pressure points along the nerve.
-
Calm the nerves. The Stimpod, a non-invasive device we use for nerve pain and neuropathy, when your exam shows it fits.
-
Take the pressure off. Adjustments and soft tissue work where a joint or muscle is pressing on a nerve.
-
Build steadier feet. Balance and foot exercises you can do at home, so walking feels safer.
We track your symptoms at every visit and keep your physician in the loop when needed.
Cost of neuropathy treatment in Chicago
We don't post one flat price, because the cost depends on a few things:
-

-
How many areas we are treating, such as both feet or feet and hands
-
Whether you book single visits or one of our 8- or 12-week programs
-
What your insurance plan covers for the visit

Neuropathy questions
Can neuropathy be reversed?
It depends on the cause and how long the nerves have been affected. We can't promise a result, but many people want less burning, better sleep and steadier walking, and those are the goals we track at each visit.
What does the Stimpod feel like?
Most people feel a light tapping or tingling where the probe touches the skin. It is non-invasive, with no needles and no medication.
Do I still need my doctor if I have diabetic neuropathy?
Yes. Your doctor manages your blood sugar and overall health. Our care works alongside that, and we will tell you if anything we find needs their attention.
