What is neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is damage or dysfunction of the nerves that carry signals between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body. It may be diabetic (related to high blood sugar), caused by injury or compression, or idiopathic (no clear cause). Common symptoms include burning, tingling, numbness, sharp or electric-like pain, and balance problems, most often in the feet and hands.
What are the common symptoms of neuropathy?
- Burning, tingling, or numbness in the feet or hands
- Sharp, shooting, or electric-like pain
- Sensitivity to touch or temperature
- Balance problems or a feeling of pins and needles
Why does neuropathy pain sometimes continue after treatment?
Nerve damage can change how nerves signal, and ongoing inflammation and poor circulation may keep symptoms going even after the underlying cause is managed. Over time, heightened nerve sensitivity can make normally non-painful stimuli feel painful.
We look at five factors that may be keeping pain going: Damage (tissue, joint, or disc), Inflammation, Nerve Signaling, Function (movement and mechanics), and Sensory & CNS Regulation.
How does LaserTech treat neuropathy without drugs, injections, or surgery?
We look at the factors that may be sustaining your nerve symptoms, then build a non-invasive plan that may include an electronic nerve biomodulator to help calm overactive nerve signaling, computerized multi-laser therapy to support tissue recovery, and BEMER therapy aimed at supporting healthy circulation.

What happens at the free consultation and first visit?
Your free consultation is a conversation. We listen to your story, review your history and any imaging you bring, and look beyond the diagnosis to understand what may be keeping your pain going. If we believe our approach may help, we explain a personalized, non-invasive plan and answer your questions. The decision to begin care is always yours.
Who may be a good candidate, and who should see another specialist?
Adults with burning, tingling, numbness, or nerve pain in the feet or hands who want a non-invasive option may be good candidates. Many come to us after medications provided limited or temporary relief.
When to seek emergency care: Seek urgent care for sudden, rapidly spreading numbness or weakness, or severe balance loss with falling. Worsening foot wounds in diabetic neuropathy should be seen by your medical provider promptly.
