Neuropathy Treatment in Sioux City

Numbness, tingling, burning, or that pins-and-needles feeling in your hands and feet? Walk in today.

Peripheral neuropathy is what happens when the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord — the ones running to your hands and feet — get damaged or irritated. It shows up as numbness, tingling, burning pain, weakness, or balance problems, and it can quietly make everyday things — walking, sleeping, gripping — harder than they should be.

What causes neuropathy

Neuropathy has many causes, and pinning down yours matters. Among the most common:

• Diabetes — the best-known cause. Diabetic neuropathy affects up to half of people with long-standing diabetes, as high blood sugar damages the nerves in the feet and hands over time.

• Chemotherapy and cancer treatment — roughly 30–40% of cancer patients experience some form of neuropathy during or after chemotherapy, most often in the hands and feet, and radiation-related nerve damage can appear months or even years after treatment.

• Vitamin and nutritional deficiency — vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the best-known nutritional causes, and diet, alcohol use, and certain medications can all play a role.

• Other medical causes — autoimmune disease, thyroid disorders, kidney disease, infections, and toxin exposure can all damage peripheral nerves.

Because the right approach depends on the cause, new or worsening weakness, sudden symptoms, or neuropathy that affects your walking should be evaluated by a doctor promptly. We'll help you understand what's going on and work alongside your medical care — not replace it.

How we help: acupuncture and chiropractic

We can't undo diabetes or a past round of chemo — but we can go after the symptoms that are making your days miserable. Acupuncture is well-suited to nerve pain: fine needles stimulate circulation to the affected area, calm the overactive nerve signaling behind the burning and tingling, and prompt the body's own pain-relieving response. Paired with gentle chiropractic care to take pressure off compressed or irritated nerves, the two work on the problem from both directions.

The goal is honest and clear: less pain, less tingling, better movement, and getting back to the things neuropathy has been taking from you.
