Lower extremity neuropathy is characterized by numbness, tingling, or pain in the feet due to nerve damage. Treatment focuses on improving function, reducing pain, and enhancing quality of life.
Our program includes targeted strengthening exercises for the foot, toes and ankle. Balance training for enhanced proprioception or awareness of feet. Manual therapy for soft tissue mobilization to treat muscle tension and tightness of the muscles to alleviate muscle tension and improve blood flow. Pain and sensory management using shockwave therapy and vibration therapy. Shockwave is proving to be an effective treatment due to its ability to encourage nerve, blood vessel and tissue regeneration. Home programs, gait training and footwear and orthotic management are part of our program.
