Neuropathy
Tingling, Burning, or Numbness? Don’t Ignore It.
If you’re feeling burning, tingling, or numbness in your feet, legs or arms, it’s not something to ignore. These symptoms could be signs of peripheral neuropathy—a condition caused by nerve damage or irritation that often worsens over time without the right intervention.
Whether it’s linked to diabetes, spinal issues, or poor circulation, neuropathy affects more than just your comfort. It affects your balance, independence, and quality of life.
At Rise Chiropractic in San Diego, we approach neuropathy from the ground up. By combining advanced therapies like spinal decompression, laser therapy, and corrective care, we help restore nerve function, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing—without medications or invasive procedures.
Fun Fact: Over 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy—but many go undiagnosed or undertreated.
What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord—most commonly in the feet, legs, and hands. The symptoms may start subtly but tend to worsen over time if left untreated.
Common signs include:
-
Tingling, burning, or pins-and-needles sensations
-
Numbness or reduced ability to feel temperature or pain
-
Sharp, stabbing, or electric-like pain
-
Muscle weakness or difficulty with balance
-
Sensations that worsen at night
Fun Fact: Nerves can regenerate—but only about 1 millimeter per day. That’s why early and consistent care matters.

What Causes Neuropathy?
Neuropathy has many potential causes, and at Rise Chiropractic, we focus on uncovering the root—not just treating surface symptoms.
Spinal Disc Issues
Herniated or degenerating discs in the spine can compress nerve roots, especially the sciatic nerve, leading to pain or numbness in the legs and feet.
Postural & Mechanical Stress
Chronic spinal misalignment, poor posture, or joint dysfunction can irritate nerves and disrupt communication between the brain and limbs.
Diabetes & Blood Sugar Imbalance
High blood sugar damages small blood vessels that supply nerves, reducing circulation and oxygen to the tissues.
Inflammation & Autoimmune Conditions
Ongoing inflammation—whether from diet, injury, or immune dysfunction—can trigger nerve hypersensitivity or degeneration.
Toxic Exposure or Medication Side Effects
Certain medications, chemotherapy, or environmental toxins can interfere with nerve function.
Post-Surgical Nerve Damage
Surgical procedures can result in unintended nerve damage that limit nerve function or result in uncomfortable sensations.
Fun Fact: Diabetic neuropathy affects up to 50% of people with diabetes during their lifetime.
Common Neuropathy Symptoms We Treat
Nerve damage doesn't always show up in the same way. You might be dealing with:
-
Burning or tingling in your feet or legs
-
Numbness or a “dead” feeling in your toes
-
Electric or stabbing pains that come and go
-
Difficulty walking, balance problems, or foot weakness
-
Discomfort worsening at night
-
Hypersensitivity to touch or temperature
Fun Fact: A loss of foot sensation from neuropathy is one of the leading causes of falls in adults over 60.

Why Medications Alone Fall Short
Most conventional treatments for neuropathy rely on medications like gabapentin, antidepressants, or pain relievers. While these can dull the symptoms, they don’t address the actual cause of nerve dysfunction.
Over time, masking the problem with drugs can lead to dependency, reduced effectiveness, or progression of nerve damage. And in many cases, surgery isn’t an option—or doesn’t provide the relief hoped for.
At Rise Chiropractic, we take a proactive, whole-body approach to help nerves recover—not just cope.
