Neuropathy: The Silent Nerve Damage You Shouldn’t Ignore
Most people notice it gradually — a little tingling in the toes, a burning sensation in the feet, or a “pins and needles” feeling that just won’t go away. They brush it off as poor circulation or aging. But what many don’t realize is that these are early signs of peripheral neuropathy — a condition where the nerves begin to break down and lose their ability to communicate with the brain.
If ignored, neuropathy can progress from mild discomfort to permanent nerve damage that affects walking, balance, and independence.
John’s Story: From Frustration to Freedom
John came to my office after years of frustration. His feet constantly burned, his legs felt heavy, and he struggled to sleep through the night. Walking any distance was painful, and his balance was getting worse. Like so many others, John had been told his only options were medications to “manage the damage”.
But deep down, he didn’t want to mask the pain — he wanted to fix the problem.
When John came to Hartley Chiropractic Center, we started with our 16-Point Sensory Exam, a simple but powerful test that measures how well the nerves in his feet and legs were functioning. This exam helped us pinpoint exactly which nerves were damaged and how severe the problem was.
It was the first time someone had shown him why he was feeling what he was feeling.
After reviewing his results, we developed a personalized plan to help restore his nerve function and improve his balance. Within weeks, John noticed major changes — the burning lessened, his sleep improved, and he began walking with more confidence.
Today, he’s doing things he never thought he’d do again — living life with energy and independence.
Why Early Detection is Critical
The biggest mistake people make with neuropathy is waiting. Once nerves have been damaged too long, they can be difficult — or even impossible — to restore. The earlier we identify the problem, the better the chance of recovery.
That’s why our 16-Point Sensory Exam is such an important tool. It allows us to measure nerve function before permanent damage occurs — and to create a plan that helps stop or even reverse the process.
If you’ve been told “there’s nothing that can be done,” I encourage you not to give up hope. There are answers — you just need the right testing and guidance.
Our New Patient Special
