Frequently Asked Questions About Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment in Fort Worth

What is peripheral neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, most commonly affecting the hands and feet. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, burning pain, sensitivity to touch, muscle weakness, and balance problems. The most common cause is diabetes, but neuropathy can also result from chemotherapy, vitamin deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, infections, injuries, and other conditions. Dr. Martinez evaluates your specific situation to determine the best treatment approach.

Can peripheral neuropathy be reversed?

Whether neuropathy can be reversed depends on the underlying cause and how early treatment begins. Some causes—like vitamin deficiencies or certain medications—may be reversible if addressed early. Diabetic neuropathy typically cannot be fully reversed, but its progression can be slowed and symptoms can be effectively managed. Our focus is on reducing your pain, preventing progression, and maintaining your quality of life.

How does spinal cord stimulation help neuropathy?

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) uses mild electrical pulses to interrupt pain signals before they reach your brain. A small device is implanted near the spine and delivers these pulses to replace pain sensations with a mild tingling or no sensation at all. SCS is FDA-approved for painful diabetic neuropathy and can provide significant relief for patients who haven’t responded to medications or other treatments. You’ll undergo a trial period before deciding on permanent implantation.

What medications help neuropathy pain?

Several medication classes can help manage neuropathic pain, including anticonvulsants (gabapentin, pregabalin), certain antidepressants (duloxetine, amitriptyline), and topical treatments (lidocaine patches, capsaicin cream). Dr. Martinez works with you to find the most effective medication regimen with the fewest side effects, often combining medications with interventional treatments for better results.

When should I see a pain specialist for neuropathy?

Consider seeing a pain specialist if your neuropathy symptoms are affecting your sleep or daily activities, over-the-counter medications aren’t providing relief, you’re experiencing balance problems or falls, your symptoms are progressing, or you’ve tried standard treatments without success. Interventional pain management offers additional options beyond oral medications that may provide better relief.

Does WOW Spine accept my insurance for neuropathy treatment?

Many neuropathy treatments, including spinal cord stimulation for diabetic neuropathy, are covered by insurance when medically necessary.
