Neuropathy Questions Answered

Peripheral nerves retain the ability to regenerate under the right conditions. The key factors are restoring adequate blood flow to the damaged nerves, reducing chronic inflammation, and providing targeted nerve stimulation. While results vary depending on the severity and duration of the damage, many patients experience meaningful improvement in sensation, pain reduction, and function when the root cause is properly addressed. The earlier treatment begins, the better the potential outcome.

Treatment duration depends on the severity of your nerve damage and how long you've had the condition. Most patients in our program follow a treatment plan that spans several months. During your initial evaluation, we assess the extent of your nerve damage and provide a realistic timeline for your specific case. We track progress with objective testing throughout treatment so you can see measurable changes — not just subjective improvement.

Coverage varies by insurance plan. Some components of our neuropathy protocol may be covered by your insurance, while others may not be. Our team will verify your specific benefits before treatment begins and explain exactly what is and isn't covered. We also offer payment options to make treatment accessible for patients with limited or no coverage. We believe cost should not be the reason someone gives up on their health.

This is the most common thing we hear from new patients. Most physicians are not trained in advanced neuropathy treatment protocols — their options are limited to medication management. When medication stops working, there's nothing left in their toolkit, so they tell you to accept the condition. Our approach is fundamentally different: we target the root cause of the nerve damage, not just the symptoms. Many of the patients in our program were told by previous doctors that nothing could be done.

No. Our treatment protocol works alongside your current medications — we never ask patients to stop prescribed medications without their prescribing physician's guidance. As treatment progresses and your condition improves, you can discuss medication adjustments with your prescribing doctor based on your results. Our role is to address the underlying nerve damage; medication decisions remain between you and your prescribing physician.

The initial neuropathy evaluation includes a comprehensive health history review, a detailed neurological examination, and nerve function testing to assess the severity and extent of your nerve damage. This gives us objective data about your current nerve health — not guesswork. Based on the evaluation findings, we determine whether you are a candidate for our program and present a clear treatment recommendation with expected timelines.

Our neuropathy protocol is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. Most patients describe the treatments as comfortable, and some find certain modalities relaxing. There are no injections, no surgery, and no recovery time required after visits. If you experience discomfort during any part of the treatment, our team adjusts the protocol to ensure your comfort.

Three things set us apart. First, we focus on treating the root cause of nerve damage — not just masking symptoms with medication. Second, we use objective testing to measure your nerve function before, during, and after treatment, so progress is based on data, not guesswork. Third, Dr. Logan Swaim has spent years specializing specifically in neuropathy treatment and has literally written the book on the subject. This isn't a side offering — it's a core specialty of our practice.
