We understand that nerve pain can be excruciating. It can also have a negative impact on your quality of life.

Causes of neuropathy
Usually, neuropathic pain is caused by nerve damage or a breakdown of the nervous system. The damage can cause you to experience pain, numbness, and weakness throughout your body, especially in your hands and feet.
While we may never know the exact causes of neuropathy, it is often associated with the following conditions:
- Nerve or spinal cord compression
- Herniated discs
- Diabetes
- HIV/AIDS
- Multiple sclerosis
- Arthritis of the spine
- Alcoholism
- Shingles
- Syphilis
- Thyroid problems
- Chemotherapy
Treating neuropathy
Before beginning any neuropathy care, we first need to rule out or treat other medical problems, such as infections or diabetes. Then we can determine the best treatment plan for your body. The goal is always to improve the current state of your neuropathic issues while preventing further nerve damage.
There are several options for treating neuropathy, but we use only the most natural methods. Our treatment plans may include acupuncture, nutrition, lifestyle improvement, occupational therapy, and physical therapy.

Nutrition
Nutrition is vital to any type of healing. Therefore, we will likely recommend the types of foods you should increase, and those you should limit. We may also encourage you to start taking quality supplements or vitamin IVs that can help with neuropathic pain.
Physical therapy
Along with nutrition, we may recommend certain exercises and stretches. These exercises can help you move easier and ease your pain.
Acupuncture
We may incorporate acupuncture in your plan because of its effectiveness. Studies indicate that acupuncture is effective in treating peripheral neuropathy. We offer this treatment because it is safe and our patients show improvement.
Custom foot orthotics
Our custom foot orthotics can help ease your pain by balancing your spine and taking pressure off your nerves.
A note about prescription medication
We prefer to try natural approaches first. However, Dr. Hassan is available to provide prescription medication as necessary.
