Neuropathy Treatment, St. Louis, MO

The numbness, the burning, the feeling that your feet are not your own. You have lived with it long enough. There is a path to relief that does not start and end with a pill.

Neuropathy treatment with neuropathy treatment at St. Louis Pain Center in St. Louis, MO

Neuropathy does not just hurt. It steals your sleep, your balance, and your confidence on your own two feet. You may have been told it is a normal part of diabetes or aging, handed a prescription, and sent home to cope. That answer leaves you managing a problem instead of treating it.

We see it differently. Neuropathy is the theme our clinic was built around, and our neuropathy treatment program is the flagship of St. Louis Pain Center. We focus on the damaged nerves themselves, working to improve circulation and support recovery so the burning and numbness have a reason to ease. For more than five years, we have helped South County patients who thought nothing more could be done. Your first consultation and screening are complimentary.

Understanding the cause

Understanding Neuropathy

Neuropathy is nerve damage, most often in the feet and hands, that causes burning, numbness, and tingling. It affects an estimated 20 million Americans, and diabetes is the most common cause.

When nerves are damaged or starved of blood flow, they stop relaying signals accurately. Instead of normal sensation, they fire off pain, numbness, and that unmistakable pins-and-needles feeling, sometimes all at once. Left unaddressed, the damage can progress, raising the risk of falls, foot wounds, and worsening loss of feeling. The conventional approach manages the symptoms with medication, but it does little for the nerves driving them. Our care focuses on the nerve itself, which is why patients describe results they had not gotten anywhere else.

Common causes

Common Causes of Neuropathy

  • Diabetes High blood sugar over time damages the small nerves in the feet and legs, making diabetic neuropathy the single most common cause we treat. Diabetes is widespread across South County, which keeps this front and center in our work.
  • Poor Circulation When nerves do not get enough blood flow, they are starved of oxygen and nutrients and begin to misfire.
  • Nerve Compression or Injury A pinched, compressed, or injured nerve, including pressure from the spine, can trigger neuropathic pain along its path.
  • Vitamin Deficiencies Low levels of certain B vitamins can impair nerve health and contribute to neuropathy.
  • Chemotherapy and Medications Some medications and cancer treatments are known to damage peripheral nerves as a side effect.
  • Chronic Inflammation Ongoing inflammation from autoimmune or metabolic conditions can wear on the nerves over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by high blood sugar, felt as burning, numbness, or tingling in the feet. We treat it with drug-free nerve-recovery care that supports circulation and the nerves themselves, rather than only prescribing medication.

Numb or burning feet that worsen at night are classic peripheral neuropathy. Damaged nerves misfire, and the sensations often feel stronger when you are still. Our [neuropathy treatment](/wellness-center/neuropathy-treatment/) program targets the nerves causing it.

Nerve recovery varies by patient and cause, and we are honest about that. Our care is designed to support the nerves and improve symptoms, but results depend on the severity and source. A screening gives you a realistic picture.

No referral is needed. You can call (314) 846-2100 or book online for a free screening, where we assess your neuropathy and recommend the right drug-free plan.
