Peripheral Neuropathy Support in Franklin, Tennessee
A Clearer First Step for Numbness, Tingling and Burning Nerve Symptoms
A careful consultation and examination to understand your symptoms, identify concerns that may require medical coordination and discuss supportive options that may fit your situation.
Begin with context
Neuropathy symptoms deserve a careful evaluation
Numbness, tingling, burning, unusual sensitivity and balance changes can affect sleep, walking, exercise and confidence. We begin by learning how your symptoms started, how they have changed and what evaluations or diagnoses you have already received.
Our role is to identify functional concerns, discuss supportive care within our scope and recognize when medical testing or coordination with another provider is important.
Symptoms we discuss
How nerve-related symptoms may show up

Reduced or altered sensation, often in the feet, legs, hands or fingers.

Hot, sharp, shooting or shock-like sensations that may come and go.
Sensitivity to touch
Discomfort from socks, shoes, bedding or otherwise light contact.

Neuropathy FAQs
Questions patients often ask
Can neuropathy be reversed?
It depends on the cause, duration and severity. Some causes may be treatable, while others require long-term symptom and safety management. We do not guarantee reversal, and medical evaluation is important for identifying potentially treatable causes.
Is neuropathy always caused by diabetes?
No. Diabetes is a common cause, but neuropathy may also relate to medications, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune conditions, infections, hereditary factors, nerve compression and other issues. Sometimes the cause remains unknown.
Can chiropractic care treat neuropathy?
Chiropractic care may help address associated musculoskeletal problems or movement limitations for some people, but it does not treat every cause of neuropathy and is not a substitute for appropriate medical diagnosis or care.
When should I seek urgent medical care?
Seek urgent evaluation for sudden or one-sided weakness, stroke symptoms, new bowel or bladder dysfunction, rapidly worsening walking, a serious foot wound or infection, or symptoms following major trauma. Call 911 for a medical emergency.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Bring a medication list, relevant diagnoses, recent lab or imaging results if available, a timeline of your symptoms and the questions you most want answered.
