What is nerve therapy?

Nerve therapy includes numerous treatments for damaged, inflamed, and pinched nerves. Our team at Pure Health Aurora treats nerve conditions like neuropathy and the extensive nerve network traveling through the body (peripheral nerves). By comparison, peripheral nerves might regenerate and heal with supportive nerve therapy.

When would I need nerve therapy?

At Pure Health Aurora, our team has helped patients overcome a wide range of conditions in the spinal and peripheral nerves:

Spinal nerves

Spinal nerve damage can begin after a traumatic injury, possibly during sports or after an auto injury. Many people have nerve problems, as age-related changes cause spinal arthritis, herniated discs, and other degenerative conditions.

Peripheral nerves

Many conditions and toxins can damage the peripheral nerves, including:

• Injuries
• Diabetes
• Kidney disease
• Thyroid disease
• Infections
• Vitamin B12 deficiency
• Substance use disorder (alcohol and drugs)
• Autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and celiac disease)
• Certain medications

Repetitive movements frequently cause pinched and inflamed nerves, with carpal tunnel syndrome being one of the most common.

How do I know I need nerve therapy?

The symptoms alerting you to a nerve problem vary depending on the type of nerve that’s inflamed or injured. You could experience any of the following:

• Numbness
• Pain
• Tingling and burning
• Muscle weakness
• Muscle pain and cramps
• Muscle loss
• Balance problems
• Racing heartbeat
• Sweating too much or too little
• Difficulty swallowing

Pain, tingling, and burning are usually the first symptoms. Numbness and muscle weakness develop as the condition and nerve damage get worse.

Which treatments are part of nerve therapy?

Our team includes chiropractors, our Nurse Practitioner, massage therapists, rehab technicians, and other support.

After completing a physical and neurological exam, including specialized testing if needed, our team will present you with a customized treatment plan.

Depending on your injuries and the severity of your condition, our team may recommend:

• Injection therapies
• Joint Rejuvenation
• Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment
• Infrared light therapy
• Vasopneumatic Compression
• A rehabilitation protocol
