5 Early Warning Signs of Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy doesn't usually show up overnight. It creeps in slowly, with subtle symptoms most people brush off as 'getting older' or 'sleeping wrong.' By the time the symptoms become impossible to ignore, the nerve damage has often been progressing for years.

Here are the five most common early warning signs we see in our neuropathy patients — and the reason early intervention matters so much. The earlier you address nerve dysfunction, the better the outcomes tend to be.

1. Tingling or pins-and-needles in the feet or hands, especially at night. 2. A burning or electrical sensation that comes and goes for no clear reason. 3. Numbness that started in the toes and is slowly creeping up. 4. Sharp 'shooting' pains that have no clear injury behind them. 5. Loss of balance or sensation when walking on uneven ground.

If any of these sound familiar, the worst thing you can do is wait. Our protocol combines shockwave therapy, red light therapy, nerve rehabilitation, and nutritional support — and the patients who start earliest see the best results.
