About Neighborhood Neuropathy Midwest

Welcome to my clinic

With over three and a half decades of dedicated experience as a physical therapist, I have devoted my career to helping patients overcome the challenges of peripheral neuropathy. Throughout my years of practice, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of patients regain their mobility, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life through innovative therapeutic approaches and evidence-based treatments.

During my 35-year journey in physical therapy, I have developed a comprehensive treatment methodology that specifically addresses the unique challenges faced by individuals with peripheral neuropathy. My approach combines traditional physical therapy techniques with cutting-edge treatments, focusing on improving nerve function, enhancing balance, and strengthening affected areas. I look beyond just managing symptoms to identify and treat underlying causes, which allows me to provide more effective, long-lasting relief for my patients.

I believe in creating individualized treatment plans that are carefully tailored to each person's specific symptoms and lifestyle needs. Understanding that peripheral neuropathy affects each patient differently, I take the time to thoroughly evaluate and listen to each individual who walks through my door, ensuring they receive the most appropriate and effective care possible. My extensive experience, combined with my commitment to personalized care, has allowed me to build lasting relationships with my patients and help them achieve their optimal health goals.

We Specialize in Peripheral Neuropathy Relief

Peripheral Neuropathy is not an easy condition to take care of, but we are up to the challenge with years of experience.

Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by high blood sugar, causing numbness, pain, and tingling in extremities, particularly feet and hands.

Idiopathic Neuropathy

Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy is unexplained nerve damage causing numbness, tingling, and pain in extremities, with no identifiable underlying medical cause.

Chemotherapy Neuropathy

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by cancer treatments, resulting in pain, numbness, and tingling in hands and feet.

Spinal Stenosis Neuropathy

Spinal stenosis neuropathy occurs when narrowed spinal channels compress nerves, causing radiating pain, numbness, and weakness in limbs and extremities.

Balance Issues and Falls

Neuropathy disrupts nerve signals between feet and brain, causing unsteadiness, difficulty sensing foot position, increased fall risk, and impaired coordination while walking.

Weakness

Neuropathy damages motor nerves controlling muscles, leading to muscle weakness, reduced grip strength, difficulty with fine movements, and decreased overall limb power.

Our Unique and Specialized Approach

Our approach is simple. We have a treatment protocol which is highly effective for some types of neuropathies. Our goal is to find the people suffering with the types of neuropathy that we have the best chance of helping. It's that simple

Infra Red Light

Light therapy stimulates blood flow in feet through infrared wavelengths, reducing pain and numbness while promoting healing and better circulation.

Micro Current

Microcurrent therapy sends tiny electrical impulses through affected nerves, disrupting pain signals and promoting natural healing to decrease neuropathy discomfort.

Manual Therapy

Gentle manipulation and targeted massage techniques help mobilize stiff foot joints, increase flexibility, and reduce tension caused by neuropathic conditions.
