Neuropathy Treatment in Macomb County

Neuropathy is the burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp nerve pain that happens when peripheral nerves are damaged or compressed. It can affect your hands, feet, legs, or arms, and it often gets worse at night or after long periods of sitting. At Total Health Systems, we treat neuropathy by looking past the symptom to find what's actually irritating the nerve—whether that's a spinal misalignment pressing on the nerve root, blood sugar dysregulation, vitamin deficiencies, or chronic inflammation. Our multi-disciplinary team coordinates chiropractic care, acupuncture, physical therapy, and functional medicine to relieve the pain and address the root cause so you can sleep, walk, and live without the constant pins-and-needles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Neuropathy

Yes. Many patients see meaningful relief through a combination of chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, physical therapy, and targeted nutrition—without relying on long-term medication.

Our goal is to address what's irritating the nerve in the first place.
Some nerve damage from diabetes can be slowed, stabilized, or partially reversed—especially when caught early and paired with blood sugar control, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and treatments that improve circulation. Our functional medicine and nutrition team work alongside your care plan.
Acupuncture has been shown to improve circulation to affected nerves, reduce inflammation, and modulate the pain signals your nervous system is sending. For many patients with peripheral or diabetic neuropathy, it's one of the most effective drug-free options.
Most patients notice some improvement within 4–8 weeks of consistent care, though chronic or diabetic neuropathy may need longer. We re-evaluate your plan as you progress and adjust based on how your body responds.
Sciatica is a specific type of nerve pain caused by compression of the sciatic nerve in the lower back. Neuropathy is broader—it can affect any peripheral nerve and stems from a wider range of causes including diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune conditions.

Our team identifies which is driving your symptoms before we build a plan.
