What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy affects millions, causing debilitating pain, numbness, and tingling. It occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord (the peripheral nerves) are damaged. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe, life-altering pain, impacting your ability to enjoy everyday activities.
Common Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy We Assess
Burning Feet
A burning sensation in the feet can indicate nerve damage and is often a distressing symptom for many patients.Tingling in Feet or Hands
Tingling sensations, often described as 'pins and needles,' can signal nerve dysfunction and require careful evaluation.Numbness
Numbness in the extremities can lead to a lack of sensation, making it difficult to perform daily activities safely.Cold Feet
Experiencing cold feet may be a sign of poor blood circulation or nerve issues, which can affect overall comfort.Sharp or Shooting Nerve Pain
Sharp or shooting pain can be debilitating and is often a key indicator of nerve irritation or damage.
Additional Symptoms
Other symptoms we assess include poor balance, reduced sensation, and trouble sleeping due to nerve discomfort. Addressing these issues is crucial for effective treatment.

Patient Testimonials
My feet were numb for 10 years. Now my right foot is normal and the left foot is about 90% better. My hands were numb; I could not hold a book and they were very painful. I have no more pain and almost a total cure on my right hand and 80% on the left hand. I love all the staff here to help Dr. Brad, a caring doctor

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment
What symptoms may be related to peripheral neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy can cause symptoms such as burning, tingling, numbness, cold feet, sharp nerve pain, reduced sensation, balance issues, and discomfort that may feel worse at night. Symptoms most often affect the feet and legs, but they can also occur in the hands.
How do I know if neuropathy treatment is right for me?
The best first step is a neuropathy assessment. This helps determine the severity of your symptoms, how neuropathy may be affecting your nerves, and whether a personalized treatment plan may be appropriate for your condition.
Is the neuropathy assessment painful?
A neuropathy assessment is designed to evaluate your symptoms, sensation, balance, and nerve-related concerns. It is not intended to be painful, although some areas may already feel sensitive, numb, or uncomfortable because of your symptoms.
How many treatments are usually needed?
The number of treatments depends on your assessment results, symptom severity, health history, and your body's response to care. After your assessment, the clinic can explain which treatment schedule may be recommended for your situation.
Do you treat patients from outside Calgary or Saskatoon?
Yes. Neuropathy Relief Centres sees patients from Calgary, Saskatoon, and surrounding communities. Many patients are willing to travel for a focused assessment of neuropathy and a treatment plan.
Can neuropathy symptoms improve?
Some patients may experience improvement in symptoms such as discomfort, balance, sensation, or sleep quality with appropriate care. Results vary based on the cause, severity, and duration of symptoms, as well as overall health, so an assessment is important before making treatment recommendations.
