Tired of Tingling, Burning Feet, or Numbness? There May Be More Options Than You Think!

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night because your feet are burning. Or feeling unsure of your footing when walking across the room. Maybe you’ve stopped taking evening walks or enjoying activities you once loved because of numbness, tingling, or discomfort.

For many people living with peripheral neuropathy, these symptoms become part of everyday life.

But at Nelson Chiropractic in Bettendorf, Iowa, we believe patients deserve more than simply being told to live with their symptoms.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or stop functioning properly.

Common symptoms include:

• Burning, tingling, or pins-and-needles sensations in the feet
• Numbness or reduced sensation
• Sharp, shooting, or electric-like pain
• Difficulty with balance
• Increased discomfort at night
• Weakness or difficulty walking

Neuropathy can have many causes, including diabetes, nutritional deficiencies, medication effects, and other medical conditions.

Identifying possible contributing factors is an important first step.

A Different Approach at Nelson Chiropractic

Our neuropathy program focuses on evaluating nerve function and helping patients understand the factors that may be contributing to their symptoms.

Depending on individual findings, our program may incorporate nutritional support, circulation-focused strategies, therapeutic technologies, and an individualized home-care plan.

We begin with a comprehensive neuropathy evaluation, including sensory testing to identify areas of reduced sensation.

Patients then return for a detailed explanation of their results and a discussion of appropriate care options.
