The Many Faces of Nerve Pain
Peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord.
It may cause numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the hands, arms, feet, and legs frequently disrupting sleep and mobility. Neuropathy can be very difficult to treat and most patients either live with the pain or numbness or take high doses of nerve pills like Neurontin (Gabapentin) or Lyrica (Pregabalin) that often prove unsuccessful and may cause significant side effects.
At the Non-Surgical Spine Center, Dr. Alexander offers medically advanced neuropathy treatments in Charleston that frequently provide life changing and long lasting relief for countless patients that have no other options.

Consultation
At your first appointment, we focus on you. Dr. Alexander listens to your questions, concerns, and health history to understand the root cause of your peripheral neuropathy. If needed, he utilizes diagnostic tests such as EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies or Imaging to confirm the source of your symptoms.

Depending on your condition and severity of complaints, medically proven treatment options include Scrambler Therapy (Calmare) that effectively retrains abnormal nerve signals and Laser Therapy that reduces inflammation and provide a healing response for the damaged nerves.

Diabetes is the most common cause of neuropathy, but injuries, infections, autoimmune diseases, or even exposure to toxins can damage nerves. Some people develop neuropathy after surgery, chemotherapy, or long-term nerve pressure. In some cases it may be idiopathic, meaning we may not know the exact cause, but appropriate treatment often still relieves the symptoms.
Dr. Alexander may recommend Scrambler Therapy, injection-based pain relief, or laser therapy. These treatments can calm irritated nerves, reduce inflammation, and help retrain pain signals. We personalize each neuropathy treatment in Charleston to treat your specific symptoms and match your lifestyle.
It depends on the severity but usually requires treatment of some kind. Early medical care may quickly resolve the issue. If your nerves are damaged and you have had symptoms for a long time, we focus on treating the nerves and the nerve pathways to improve your quality of life.
Non-surgical care can be very effective. Laser therapy works by calming irritated nerves, promoting healing, and reducing inflammation. Treatments like Scrambler Therapy retrain the way the brain interprets pain and numbness signals, often significantly reducing burning and tingling sensations.
If you have numbness, burning, or tingling that lasts more than a few weeks, it’s definitely time to see a Neuropathy specialist in Charleston. Getting appropriate treatment gives you the best chance at lasting relief.
