Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment
at Marsteller Family Chiropractic
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition caused by damage or irritation to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves carry signals that control sensation, movement, and automatic body functions. When nerves are not working properly, signals do not travel correctly — leading to symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, pain, or weakness, most commonly in the feet and hands. Our office focuses on identifying the cause of nerve dysfunction and helping improve nerve health, circulation, and function.
What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy
Common Symptoms
Peripheral neuropathy often begins in the feet and may progress upward. Patients commonly report:
- Burning or electric pain
- Tingling or pins and needles
- Numbness or reduced feeling
- Sharp or stabbing sensations
- Sensitivity to touch
- Muscle weakness
- Balance problems
- Feeling like socks are bunched up when they are not
Symptoms may be constant or come and go.

Our approach focuses on improving nerve health and function — not just masking symptoms. Treatment may include:
- Chiropractic care to reduce nerve pressure

- Nerve function testing and monitoring
Care plans are customized based on the severity and cause of your symptoms.
