Neuropathy Doctor in North Liberty

Patients experiencing neuropathy may experience the following symptoms:

• Tingling sensation in the extremities, felt as pins and needles, prickling, or numbness
• Burning pain in the lower limbs, which may spread to the arms and hands as the condition progresses
• Sharp, stabbing pains that worsen in the evening, with “electric-like pains” extending into the hands and arms

The causes of neuropathy are diverse and sometimes difficult, if not impossible, to determine. There is no single underlying cause for neuropathy, and in a reported 40% of cases, providers don’t find one.

35% of those suffering from neuropathy also have diabetes. Conditions that cause neuropathy are referred to as acquired neuropathy. But even so, having one of these conditions does not equal a neuropathy diagnosis. Your neuropathy doctor in North Liberty will work with you to help locate the cause of your pain or discomfort and determine whether our neuropathy treatments are right for you.

A member of our team will perform a thorough screening during your examination to help determine the severity and type of neuropathy you have. To start, your provider will consider your complete medical history, perform a physical examination, and ask you about your symptoms. During your neurological exam, we will assess movement, sensation, coordination, and balance.

We perform brain mapping, which allows us to image the brain in real time. Treatment protocols are then created, and you do your treatment while you listen to music, watch a movie, or perform another task. This gives us the opportunity to evaluate your brainwaves and identify opportunities to improve communication between various regions of the brain. Once we’ve captured your brain in action, we can analyze the data and create a visual representation of each lobe of the brain and each specific brainwave.

Designed specifically to treat peripheral neuropathy and chronic nerve pain, our nerve stimulation device stimulates and repairs damaged nerves with the healing power of electric pulses sent directly into your treatment area. This wearable, in-office device stimulates nerves and muscles, relieving pain and increasing blood flow.

Our noninvasive neurofeedback therapy realigns brainwaves while you watch a movie or listen to music.
