Neuropathy is an umbrella term for disorders related to the nervous system.
Your nervous system transmits sensory information regarding touch, temperature, and pain from the body to the brain and back. When damage happens to this pathway, it negatively impacts how your body interprets pain.
People come to us for neuropathy treatment in North Liberty for relief from the following symptoms:
It’s hard to determine what causes neuropathy, because the causes range depending on each individual. There is no single underlying cause of neuropathy. However, researchers have found a link between neuropathy and diabetes, but that still doesn’t always result in a neuropathy diagnosis.
During your consultation, we may also test for the following related conditions:
Brain mapping is the study of the anatomy and function of your brain and spinal cord.
It’s not a neuropathy treatment in North Liberty. Instead, it’s the first step in developing a plan to help you manage symptoms of this condition. The information we collect during a brain mapping session helps us determine which parts of your brain might be over-active or under-active, since that causes disruptions in how your body interprets sensory information like touch, temperature, and pain.
We ask that you return to our office every 3 months so we can conduct the initial exams, monitor your progress, and update your treatment plan based on the results.
We also provide care outside of the office with at-home neuropathy kits and weekly or monthly progress report phone calls.
To understand neuropathy, it helps to understand the nervous system and why you might experience these sensations related to it.
Your nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS regulates how you think, feel, and move, while the PNS regulates your senses, unconscious processes (like blinking and heartbeat), and movement.
These two parts work together in a two-way pathway, which:
Transmits information from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.
Sends sensory information back to the brain via nerve signals.
Damage to this communication pathway can negatively affect how your body interprets pain and other sensations. The specific location or type of “disconnection” influences your type of neuropathy, your symptoms, and how we treat them.
That’s why our neuropathy treatments in North Liberty focus on improving nerve function. We support this communication pathway through a range of treatments that can relieve the tingling, stabbing, burning sensations of this condition, while also boosting your overall health.
We have access to a wide range of treatment to help you find relief.
From regenerative medicine to chiropractic care, here’s what you can expect at Iowa wellness Center.
