Neuropathy Rehabilitation
Targeted Relief and Improved Function for Nerve-Related Pain and Weakness
Neuropathy can cause burning, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness that interfere with walking, balance, and daily function. Our neuropathy rehabilitation program helps you regain confidence and control by improving nerve function, strength, and mobility through advanced therapy techniques.
What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to nerve damage that disrupts communication between the brain, spinal cord, and muscles. It commonly affects the feet, legs, and hands—and can make standing, walking, or gripping objects difficult or painful.
Causes can include diabetes, autoimmune conditions, chemotherapy, infections, or injury. No matter the cause, our rehabilitation approach focuses on reducing symptoms, improving nerve response, and restoring safe function.
Our therapists use a combination of manual techniques, neuromuscular re-education, and advanced technology like Neubie electrical stimulation and Infrared Light Therapy to retrain how your nerves and muscles communicate.
How Does Neuropathy Rehabilitation Help?
We focus on restoring quality of life by reducing nerve-related symptoms and improving daily function.
1. Decrease Numbness, Tingling, and Pain
We apply targeted therapies to calm irritated nerves and reduce symptoms like burning, pins-and-needles, and hypersensitivity.
2. Improve Balance and Prevent Falls
Balance retraining, core stability exercises, and gait therapy help you walk more safely and confidently—especially if your feet are affected.
3. Restore Strength and Movement
As nerves recover, we help rebuild strength and coordination so you can return to everyday activities without fear or fatigue.
4. Retrain Nerve-Muscle Communication
Using tools like HRV therapy, Infrared Light therapy and electrical stimulation, we activate muscle groups and promote healthy nerve signaling.
Who Can Benefit from Neuropathy Rehabilitation?
Neuropathy rehabilitation can help if you’ve been diagnosed with:
- Peripheral Neuropathy: Often caused by diabetes, this affects sensation in the hands or feet
- Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy: Numbness or pain related to cancer treatments
- Idiopathic Neuropathy: Nerve damage with unknown origin
- Post-Surgical or Traumatic Nerve Injury
- Balance or Gait Impairments Caused by Nerve Dysfunction
If you’re experiencing tingling, weakness, or trouble walking due to nerve issues, our physical therapists will build a plan to help you feel steady, strong, and supported again.
