Neuropathy
Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a condition characterized by damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. This damage can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the affected areas.
At Active Medical Services, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathy, helping patients find relief and regain control over their lives.

Understanding Neuropathy: Causes and Symptoms
Neuropathy can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Diabetes: Diabetes is one of the most common causes of neuropathy. Elevated blood sugar levels can damage the nerves over time, leading to neuropathic symptoms.
- Trauma: Injuries, such as those sustained in car accidents or falls, can damage the nerves and result in neuropathy.
- Vitamin Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins such as B12, which is essential for nerve health, can contribute to neuropathy.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus can cause the immune system to attack the nerves, leading to neuropathy.
- Toxic Exposures: Exposure to certain toxins, such as chemotherapy drugs or heavy metals, can damage the nerves and cause neuropathy.
The symptoms of neuropathy can vary depending on the type of nerves affected and the underlying cause.
Common symptoms of neuropathy can include:
- Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or other extremities
- Burning or shooting pain
- Weakness or loss of coordination
- Sensitivity to touch
- Muscle cramps or spasms
- Difficulty walking or performing fine motor tasks
Treating Neuropathic Pain and Discomfort with Chiropractic Care
At Active Medical Services, we offer a range of chiropractic treatments to address neuropathic pain and discomfort and other associated symptoms.
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper alignment to the spine and extremities, which can help alleviate pressure on nerves and improve nerve function. By realigning the spine, chiropractic adjustments can reduce nerve irritation and promote better communication between the brain and body, leading to reduced pain and improved mobility.
Additionally, acupuncture — a component of traditional Chinese medicine—has been shown to be effective in relieving neuropathic pain by stimulating specific points on the body to balance energy flow and promote healing. Acupuncture sessions can help reduce pain, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being for individuals with neuropathy.
Massage therapy is another beneficial treatment option for neuropathy. By targeting areas of tension and tightness in the muscles and soft tissues, massage therapy can help alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. Regular massage sessions can also promote relaxation and stress reduction, which can further enhance the body’s ability to heal.
Advanced Treatments for Neuropathic Nerve Damage
In addition to traditional therapies, we offer innovative regenerative medicine treatments to address neuropathic nerve damage at the cellular level:
Human Cellular Tissue injections involve the use of mesenchymal stem cells derived from ethically sourced human tissue. These potent stem cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, including nerve cells, and promote tissue repair and regeneration. When injected into the damaged nerves, these stem cells can help repair damaged tissue and restore nerve function, leading to reduced pain and improved sensation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy harnesses the healing power of platelets found in the patient’s blood. Platelets contain growth factors and other bioactive proteins that promote tissue repair and regeneration. During PRP therapy, a small sample of the patient’s blood is collected and processed to isolate the platelets. The concentrated PRP solution is then injected into the affected nerves, where it stimulates healing and reduces inflammation, leading to improved nerve function and reduced pain.
