Peripheral Neuropathy Care in Madison
Do you experience numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in your hands and feet? If yes, you’re not alone. These are some of the most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, a condition that affects the peripheral nerves, which are the long and thin nerve fibers that connect the brain and spinal cord to muscles and sensory organs throughout the body.
This progressive condition usually affects the lower legs and feet and then can advance to the hands and fingers. It’s estimated that over 20 million people in the United States experience some form of peripheral neuropathy, Dr. Hoover is one of them.
We are delighted to offer neuropathy care as an additional specialty, making our practice a leader in the use of integrative medicine to achieve the best possible results for our patients.
Developing a Program That Gets Results
At Back Care Plus, Dr. Hoover can now help patients with peripheral neuropathy using the same detailed protocols he’s following himself. It starts with a special examination to determine whether the person is a candidate for our neuropathy program. We have strict acceptance guidelines, but our program has a very high success rate for those who are approved.
While every patient has the same complaints, they’re all unique, and their goals will be different. There are about 150 types of neuropathy, so it’s important to tailor each plan to the individual depending on their symptoms, how long they’ve had it, the severity of the nerve damage, and other factors. Some people may come in with different issues requiring chiropractic adjustments to complement their care.
Common Symptoms and Causes
Those with this condition often experience the following:
- Numbness/tingling
- Burning pain
- Unusual and/or loss of sensations
- Muscle weakness
- Deep stabbing pain
- Balance problems
While there may be several causes of peripheral neuropathy, diabetes remains one of the most common. It occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the nerves, leading to numbness, tingling, and other unusual sensations in the extremities. Another potential cause could be using certain medications, such as chemotherapy drugs to treat cancer. Physical trauma and metabolic disorders may also contribute to this painful nerve condition.

The Vital Components Of Our Neuropathy Program
At Back Care Plus, Dr. Hoover can now help patients with peripheral neuropathy with detailed protocols he’s following himself. The comprehensive treatment program we use is safe and effective.
There are four vital elements of our neuropathy protocol:
One of the treatment technologies we utilize to increase blood flow and repair the nerve is our Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). The light therapy signals vascular endothelial growth (VEGF), which signals the production of angiogenesis, which is the creation of new blood vessels, which is required to repair nerve damage.
State-of-the-art digital electrotherapeutic stimulation is used to assist in the growth of the nerves, which is called nerve re-education. Cancer Treatment Centers of America® use this modality to help those going through chemotherapy rebuild their nerves.
Proper nutrition to support our other vital components is crucial for optimal tissue and nerve repair. Our advanced nutritional therapies have been designed to accelerate the healing process by affecting the complex processes of inflammation, blood flow, and bioavailable nitric oxide.
In conjunction with your home infrared electromagnetic and electrostimulation therapy, we will have you visit the office once a week for our in-clinic protocol. Each vital component is equally important for optimal results.
A High Success Rate
Our comprehensive approach gets to the root cause. Our protocols allow nerves to regenerate, and damage can be repaired. When used as prescribed, there’s a very high success rate!
