Spinal Cord Stimulation for Neuropathy
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an interventional pain management procedure in which a small device — similar in concept to a cardiac pacemaker — delivers low-level electrical impulses to the spin…
Capsaicin Therapy for Neuropathy
Capsaicin — the compound that makes hot chili peppers spicy — has a counterintuitive role in neuropathic pain management: the substance that causes burning can, with sustained application, reduce b…
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Neuropathy
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative medicine approach that uses a concentrated preparation of your own platelets — injected at the site of damaged tissue — to deliver a high dose o…
Occupational Therapy for Neuropathy
Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on enabling people to engage in the meaningful activities of daily life — work, self-care, homemaking, hobbies — despite physical limitations. For neuropathy patie…
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for Neuropathy
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also called photobiomodulation (PBM), uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate tissue and stimulate cellular energy production at the mi…
TENS Therapy for Neuropathy
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive therapy that delivers low-voltage electrical impulses through electrode pads placed on the skin to help manage pain. For people …
Physical Therapy for Peripheral Neuropathy
Physical therapy is one of the most evidence-supported non-pharmacological interventions for peripheral neuropathy, addressing not just pain but the functional consequences of nerve damage that sig…
Acupuncture for Peripheral Neuropathy
Acupuncture is one of the most studied complementary therapies for peripheral neuropathy, with a growing body of clinical trial evidence suggesting it may reduce pain, improve nerve conduction, and…
Infrared Light Therapy for Neuropathy
Infrared light therapy uses near-infrared wavelengths (typically 880 to 950 nm) to penetrate deep into tissue and stimulate biological processes that may benefit peripheral nerves — including impro…
Scrambler Therapy for Neuropathic Pain
Scrambler therapy is a specialized form of electrocutaneous neurostimulation developed in Italy in the 1990s that differs fundamentally from standard TENS. Rather than simply blocking pain signals,…
