Neuropathy in Austin

Neuropathy can cause burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp nerve pain in your feet, hands, or legs—making it difficult to walk, sleep, or enjoy daily life. If your symptoms seem to be getting worse, or you’ve been told there are limited options beyond medication, you’re not alone.

At Gonstead Chiropractic & Wellness ATX, we focus on helping patients in Austin reduce neuropathy symptoms without surgery, steroid injections, or long-term reliance on medication.

Using advanced shockwave therapy, laser therapy, and regenerative treatments, our approach is designed to improve nerve function, increase circulation, and support the body’s natural healing response—addressing the condition at a deeper level rather than just masking symptoms.

What is Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged or dysfunctional. This damage disrupts the nerves’ ability to send proper signals, leading to a wide range of symptoms including:

• Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or legs
• Burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain
• Sensitivity to touch or temperature
• Muscle weakness or cramping
• Loss of balance or coordination
• Difficulty walking or standing for long periods

Neuropathy can be caused by various factors including diabetes, autoimmune disorders, injuries, infections, or even medications. If left untreated, neuropathy can worsen over time—leading to mobility issues, chronic pain, and diminished quality of life.

Advanced Therapies for Neuropathic Relief

At our pain management clinic we use two powerful, non-invasive therapies that help stimulate the healing of damaged nerves and improve circulation: shockwave therapy and laser therapy.

Shockwave therapy uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow in affected areas.

For neuropathy patients, this increased circulation helps “wake up” damaged nerves and restore their function over time.

Shockwave therapy is especially helpful for:

• Foot neuropathy and burning pain
• Nerve compression syndromes
• Peripheral neuropathy in legs or arms
• Improving tissue health in poorly healing extremities

Treatments are quick, painless, and require no downtime.

Class IV Laser therapy delivers concentrated light energy deep into the tissues to activate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. It works by stimulating mitochondria—the energy producers of cells—which helps damaged nerves recover more effectively.

Laser therapy is ideal for:

• Tingling, numbness, or burning in the feet or hands
• Post-injury nerve damage
• Chronic nerve inflammation
• Promoting oxygenation and healing in nerve tissues

Both shockwave and laser therapy are drug-free, FDA-cleared solutions that help reduce pain and numbness while improving long-term nerve health.

Treating Neuropathy With Regenerative Medicine

For more advanced or long-standing neuropathy cases, we offer cutting-edge regenerative medicine treatments that aim to repair damaged nerve tissue at the cellular level. These therapies stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms and improve nerve function, without surgery or medication.

Human Cellular Tissue Therapy

This treatment uses ethically sourced tissue from Wharton’s jelly (umbilical cord tissue) that contains powerful growth factors, proteins, and cytokines.

These components help:

• Decrease inflammation around nerves
• Promote nerve regeneration
• Improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation
• Reduce pain and restore function

Human cellular tissue therapy is particularly effective for neuropathy caused by degeneration, injury, or inflammation.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

PRP and PRF are created from your own blood and are rich in healing platelets and growth factors. These therapies are injected into the affected area to help:

• Reduce chronic inflammation
• Stimulate nerve healing
• Improve microcirculation
• Support tissue recovery

By targeting the root cause of neuropathy regenerative medicine offers a natural and effective alternative to medications that simply mask the symptoms.

Diabetic Neuropathy: A Common but Treatable Condition

Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common forms of peripheral neuropathy. It develops when high blood sugar levels damage the nerves, most often in the legs and feet. Over time, this can lead to numbness, burning pain, tingling, and increased risk of infection or injury due to loss of sensation.

Many diabetic patients are told their nerve damage is permanent, but we take a different view.
Dr. Richard’s approach to diabetic neuropathy focuses on improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and regenerating nerve tissue to restore feeling and function, without surgery or prescription medications.

Our treatments can help diabetic neuropathy patients:

• Restore nerve function in feet and hands
• Reduce pain, numbness, and tingling
• Improve circulation and tissue healing
• Prevent worsening of nerve damage
• Avoid unnecessary medications or invasive procedures
