If you’re experiencing burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp pain in your hands or feet, you may be living with peripheral neuropathy—a nerve condition that affects millions of people and can drastically impact quality of life. Whether your symptoms come from diabetes, injury, poor circulation, or unknown causes, one thing is clear: living with neuropathy is frustrating, painful, and often life-limiting.
At Whole Body Chiropractic in Asheville, NC, Dr. Reema Arsheed offers safe, effective, and non-invasive options to treat neuropathy at its source—not just mask the symptoms. Two of the most advanced therapies available in our clinic are Class IV Laser Therapy and Shockwave Therapy—cutting-edge treatments designed to stimulate nerve healing, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord (typically in the hands and feet) are damaged or impaired. This disruption can interfere with your body’s ability to communicate properly between the brain, spinal cord, and limbs.
Common symptoms of neuropathy include:
- Burning or tingling sensations
- Sharp, stabbing pain
- Numbness or reduced sensation
- Muscle weakness
- Sensitivity to touch or temperature
- Feeling like you’re walking on pins and needles or gravel
What causes neuropathy?
There are many causes of neuropathy, including:
- Diabetes (diabetic neuropathy)
- Chemotherapy
- Alcoholism
- Autoimmune diseases
- Nutritional deficiencies (especially B vitamins)
- Chronic inflammation
- Spinal nerve compression or injury
- Idiopathic causes (unknown origin)
Traditional treatments for neuropathy—such as prescription medications, topical creams, or anti-depressants—may provide short-term symptom relief but do little to heal the damaged nerves. That’s where laser and shockwave therapy offer real, lasting hope.
Laser Therapy for Neuropathy: Stimulating Nerve Repair Naturally
Class IV Laser Therapy uses concentrated wavelengths of light to penetrate deeply into the tissue, where it stimulates cellular regeneration, reduces inflammation, and improves blood flow to the affected nerves.
This non-invasive treatment targets the underlying cellular damage that causes neuropathy, helping your body repair nerve endings and restore healthier nerve function over time.
Benefits of laser therapy for neuropathy include:
- Improved nerve conductivity and regeneration
- Reduction in burning, tingling, and numbness
- Increased circulation to oxygen-starved tissues
- Relief from inflammation and swelling
- No downtime or side effects
Most patients find the treatment to be warm, relaxing, and pain-free, with noticeable improvements after just a few sessions.
Shockwave Therapy for Neuropathy: Rebooting Your Nerve Function
Shockwave Therapy, also known as Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), uses powerful acoustic waves to stimulate deep healing in tissues and nerves. This therapy is especially effective in neuropathy cases where there is scar tissue, chronic inflammation, or poor circulation.
Shockwave therapy works by breaking up soft tissue adhesions, increasing vascularization, and reactivating dormant nerve fibers, promoting long-term healing rather than just temporary relief.
Shockwave therapy for neuropathy can help:
- Reawaken damaged or dormant nerve endings
- Break down fibrosis and scar tissue around nerves
- Stimulate new blood vessel growth
- Reduce pain signaling and hypersensitivity
- Improve strength, balance, and coordination
Dr. Arsheed customizes each session to suit your comfort level and medical needs, ensuring your treatment is both safe and effective.
