Neuropathy & Numbness | Chiropractor San Antonio TX

Peripheral neuropathy — numbness, tingling, burning, and weakness in the hands or feet — significantly impacts quality of life. Pura Vida Chiropractic addresses the neurological and vascular components of neuropathy to help restore sensation and function.

What Is Neuropathy & Numbness | Chiropractor San Antonio TX?

Neuropathy refers to dysfunction or damage to peripheral nerves — the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms arise when these nerves are compressed, starved of blood supply, or chemically damaged. While diabetes is the most common systemic cause, neuropathy also results from spinal nerve compression, poor circulation, autoimmune conditions, or nutritional deficiencies. Chiropractic care addresses the spinal component — nerve root compression in the lumbar or cervical spine — and regenerative therapies directly stimulate nerve repair and improve microcirculation in the affected extremities.

Common Symptoms

  • Numbness or loss of sensation in the feet, toes, hands, or fingers
  • Burning or electric pain in the extremities
  • Tingling or pins-and-needles sensation
  • Weakness in the legs or difficulty with balance
  • Sensitivity to touch — even light contact feels painful
  • Symptoms that worsen at night

Common Causes & Contributing Factors

  • Diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy)
  • Lumbar or cervical nerve root compression
  • Poor peripheral circulation reducing nerve oxygenation
  • Autoimmune conditions (Guillain-Barré, CIDP)
  • Nutritional deficiencies (B12, folate)
  • Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy

The Pura Vida Protocol: Chiropractic Care for Neuropathy & Numbness | Chiropractor San Antonio TX

Dr. Foss evaluates the lumbar and cervical spine to identify any nerve root compression contributing to peripheral symptoms. SOT adjustments restore spinal canal space and reduce nerve root irritation, which can significantly reduce neuropathic symptoms originating from the spine. Concurrently, regenerative therapies are applied directly to the affected extremities to stimulate nerve regeneration and improve local blood flow. This comprehensive, multi-modal approach provides meaningful improvement for many neuropathy patients who have not responded to medication alone.

At Pura Vida Chiropractic, Dr. Foss uses Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) — a gentle, category-based system that addresses the spine, pelvis, and craniosacral rhythm as one integrated unit. SOT restores proper biomechanics, reduces nerve interference, and creates the neurological environment your body needs to heal itself.

Advanced Therapies We Combine With Chiropractic

For many patients, combining spinal correction with regenerative therapies produces faster and more lasting results. Depending on your condition, Dr. Foss may incorporate one or more of the following:

SoftWave Therapy

Patented unfocused shock waves spread over a broad treatment area to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and activate stem cells — promoting cellular regeneration and long-term pain relief.

Class IV Laser Therapy

Photobiomodulation with a 10–15W Class IV laser delivers therapeutic light energy deep into tissue, reducing inflammation, blocking pain signals, and speeding healing at the cellular level.
