Overview

What is neuropathy?

Neuropathy is a condition that results from nerve damage, which often affects the hands and feet. When nerves are injured or not working properly, they can send faulty signals, leading to pain, numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness that can make everyday tasks harder and affect your comfort.

Neuropathy has many possible causes, and the right care starts with understanding yours. At Life Balance Pain Care, our Atlanta team takes time to evaluate your symptoms and history so we can build a plan around your goals, beginning with conservative, non-surgical options whenever appropriate.

Non-surgical first

We start with conservative, non-surgical approaches aimed at easing nerve pain and supporting function before considering anything more invasive.

Personalized plan

Because neuropathy has many causes, your care is tailored to your symptoms, history, and goals through shared decision-making.

Physician-led care

Your evaluation and plan are guided by the Life Balance Pain Care team, led by Dr. Brad S. Bootstaylor, M.D.

How we treat neuropathy at Life Balance Pain Care

01

Comprehensive evaluation

We start by listening. Your visit includes a careful review of your symptoms, medical history, and the conditions that may be contributing to nerve damage, so we can work to understand what is driving your neuropathy rather than only addressing the pain.

02

Personalized, non-surgical-first plan

Together, through shared decision-making, we build a plan tailored to you. We prioritize conservative and supportive, non-surgical options first, and address contributing factors such as diabetes, arthritis, or other chronic conditions where they apply.

03

Targeted treatment for relief

Life Balance Pain Care offers a range of treatments aimed at easing pain, calming irritated nerves, and helping you move and function more comfortably. Where appropriate, we coordinate with your other providers on the conditions contributing to your symptoms.

04

Ongoing support and follow-up

Neuropathy care is rarely one and done. We monitor your progress, adjust your plan as your symptoms change, and reinforce the daily habits that help support nerve health over time.

Signs and symptoms of neuropathy

Neuropathy often shows up first in the hands and feet, and the sensations can range from mild to disruptive. Common signs include pain, numbness, and tingling, along with temperature sensitivity, burning, prickling, and throbbing or shooting pain. Some people notice heightened touch sensitivity, muscle weakness, or a lack of coordination. A symptom many describe is a feeling like they are wearing socks or gloves when they are not. Symptoms can come and go or gradually worsen, which is why it helps to have them evaluated rather than waiting them out. If you experience sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or rapidly worsening symptoms, seek prompt medical care.

What causes neuropathy and how to lower your risk

Many conditions can increase the risk of neuropathy, including diabetes and thyroid, liver, or kidney problems. Vitamin deficiencies, heavy alcohol use, infections, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, toxin exposure, repetitive motions, and a family history of neuropathy can all play a role. While not every cause is preventable, there are meaningful ways to help reduce your risk: managing diabetes, arthritis, and other chronic conditions, eating a balanced diet, limiting or avoiding alcohol, not smoking, and avoiding toxin exposure. Regular exercise and reducing repetitive motions may also help. At the first sign of ongoing or worsening nerve pain, an evaluation with the Life Balance Pain Care team can help identify the cause.
