UNDERSTANDING PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

Peripheral neuropathy is a condition resulting from damage to the nerves in the feet and legs. It affects millions of Americans and can significantly impact quality of life, balance, and the ability to work safely.

Common symptoms include:

Numbness or reduced sensation in the feet
Tingling or "pins and needles" sensations
Burning or sharp shooting pain
Sensitivity to touch
Muscle weakness in the feet
Loss of balance and coordination
Difficulty feeling temperature changes

Common causes:

Diabetes (most common cause)
Chemotherapy treatments
Vitamin deficiencies
Autoimmune conditions
Chronic alcohol use
Repetitive stress and nerve compression

WHY TRADITIONAL TREATMENTS OFTEN FALL SHORT

Many patients with neuropathy are told the only option is medication to manage symptoms. While medications like gabapentin or pregabalin can help, they don't address the underlying nerve damage and often come with side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, and weight gain—especially problematic for workers who need to stay alert on the job.

Dr. Storts takes a comprehensive approach that goes beyond symptom management to promote actual nerve healing and regeneration.

ADVANCED TREATMENT OPTIONS

At Bends Foot and Ankle, we offer innovative treatments for neuropathy that many practices don't provide:

Regenerative Medicine: Advanced therapies that promote nerve regeneration and repair
PRP Therapy: Platelet-rich plasma injections to support nerve healing
Custom Orthotics: Designed to protect numb feet from pressure injuries
Comprehensive Foot Care: Regular monitoring to prevent complications from reduced sensation
Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on diet, exercise, and supplements to support nerve health

Our goal is to reduce pain, improve sensation, and prevent the complications that can come with neuropathy—especially for patients who work on their feet.

HOPE FOR NEUROPATHY PATIENTS

FAQS ABOUT NEUROPATHY TREATMENT

Q. Can neuropathy be reversed?

In some cases, especially when caught early, nerve damage can be partially or fully reversed with proper treatment. Even in cases where full reversal isn't possible, our advanced treatments can significantly reduce symptoms and slow progression.

Q. Is neuropathy dangerous?

Yes, neuropathy can be dangerous because reduced sensation means you may not notice injuries, burns, or pressure sores on your feet. This is especially concerning for diabetic patients. Regular foot exams are essential.
