Peripheral Neuropathy refers to conditions that result when nerves carrying messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body are damaged or inflamed.

When these nerves are damaged we can experience endless Burning, Numbness and Tingling, Chronic Pain and even Loss of Balance.

There are several kinds of Peripheral Neuropathies and they can stem from a variety of causes ranging from carpal tunnel syndrome (entrapment), traumatic injury (such as motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, or sports/work related accidents), restricted blood flow, deteriorating joints, pesticide exposure, to toxic levels of sugar in the blood (causing nerve damage linked to diabetes).

At your Neuropathy appointment you will get answers to the following questions:

✅ What is the underlying cause of the nerve damage?

✅ How severe is my condition?

✅ Are other conditions contributing?

✅ What types of nerves have damage?

✅ How much treatment do nerves require to heal?

The underlying cause is different for every patient and must be understood in order to help the nerves heal and get us back to a normal life.

Thorough testing is so critically important in helping patients suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy and we here at Pittsburgh Integrated Wellness want to help as many people as we can.

Our goal is to get our patients back to doing the things they love with the people they love without drugs, needles or surgery and in as painless a way as possible.
