Peripheral Neuropathy Care in Virginia

There are a wealth of peripheral neuropathy solutions in use today, so there isn’t just one answer to this problem. In many cases, we use a combination of treatments to reduce symptoms and improve mobility for peripheral neuropathy care.

MLS laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment option for peripheral neuropathy. Poor blood circulation is one of the most common reasons people develop this condition. Laser therapy may help to stimulate better blood flow so that the peripheral nerves are getting the oxygen and nutrients that they need to be healthy. Improving circulation stimulates functional nerve cell components and reduces inflammation.

Other treatment modalities we offer for peripheral neuropathy care are:

  • Intravenous immunoglobulin and plasma exchange to reduce inflammation by suppressing the immune system.
  • Physical medicine can be beneficial for those who have muscle weakness as a result of peripheral neuropathy.
