What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy, commonly known as peripheral neuropathy, is a term for many conditions that involve the peripheral nervous system. In general, this is damage to the vast communication network that sends signals between the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body.
Nerve signaling in neuropathy is disrupted in three ways:
- Loss of signals normally sent (like a broken wire)
- Inappropriate signaling when there shouldn’t be any (like static on a telephone line)
- Errors that distort the messages being sent (like a wavy television picture)
Symptoms of Neuropathy
Symptoms of peripheral nerve damage can depend on the type of nerve fibers affected, and the severity of damage.
Motor Nerve Damage
Most commonly associated with:
Muscle weakness
Cramps
Fasciculations (uncontrolled muscle twitching visible under the skin) and muscle shrinking
Sensory Nerve Damage
Causes various symptoms because sensory nerves have a broad range of functions. Symptoms could include:
Inability to feel vibrations and touch
Numbness
Lost sense of your position
Inability to feel pain or temperature changes
Pain (pain receptors can fire randomly. Or the damage can interfere with the signal to the brain, causing you to feel pain from a touch that is normally painless)
Autonomic Nerve Damage
Affects the axons in small-fiber neuropathies. Common symptoms include:
Excess sweating
Heat intolerance
Inability to expand and contract the small blood vessels that regulate blood pressure
Gastrointestinal symptoms
Although rare, some people develop problems eating or swallowing if the nerves that control the esophagus are affected
“From a doctor’s perspective, the potential of Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs) for neuropathy is exceptionally promising. The prospect of offering patients a treatment modality that goes beyond symptom management to promote actual nerve regeneration is both exciting and transformative.”
– Dr. Travis Whitney, Founder, Innate Healthcare Institute
What To Expect
How it works
Regenerative & Integrative Medicine for Neuropathy
Neuropathy isn’t just “damaged nerves.” It’s a mix of drivers (metabolic, immune, mechanical, vascular, nutritional) that keep nerves irritated and energy‑starved. Our approach focuses on rebalancing the neuro‑immune environment, improving microcirculation and mitochondrial support, and retraining the system, so comfort and function can improve without jumping straight to invasive surgical options.
1) Map the drivers (don’t guess)
We start by identifying what’s fueling your symptoms: glucose control and A1c trends, B‑vitamin status (e.g., B12), thyroid and autoimmune markers as indicated, medication/toxin exposures, biomechanics/compression, and lifestyle factors (sleep, stress, alcohol). When needed, we coordinate nerve testing and imaging with your specialists.
2) Calm neuro‑inflammation (keep defenses intact)
We aim to quiet glial and cytokine “noise” rather than broadly suppress immunity. Care plans may include targeted regenerative, nutritional, stress and sleep strategies, graded movement, and other evidence‑informed tools to reduce misdirected inflammation while preserving host defense.
3) Support circulation & cellular energy
Healthy nerves depend on blood flow and mitochondria. We encourage new microvessels to form, stabilize existing blood flow, and boost nitric oxide activity to keep vessels open—delivering more oxygen and nutrients to nerve tissue.
4) Targeted regenerative options—when appropriate
When conservative measures aren’t enough, we discuss minimally invasive options (e.g., perineural techniques) as adjuncts, not stand‑alone fixes. Advanced biologics may be considered in specific contexts; we’ll review evidence, risks, and alternatives so you can decide.
Important: Some therapies may be adjunctive, off‑label, or investigational. Results vary by cause and severity. We’ll discuss options transparently before you choose.
We we love it
It’s care that works with your nervous system, not against it.
Neuropathy is complex, often involving poor circulation, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and overactive pain signaling. Traditional approaches usually focus only on masking symptoms, but regenerative and integrative medicine takes a different path. We love this approach because it’s:
Designed to calm, not just cover
Instead of relying only on medications that suppress symptoms, regenerative and integrative therapies aim to reduce inflammation, improve nerve environment, and support natural repair processes—helping patients feel relief while working toward deeper improvements.
Focused on function and quality of life
Nerve pain is disruptive, but so is the fatigue, numbness, and loss of balance that often comes with it. Our care plans emphasize restoring circulation, supporting mitochondrial energy, and retraining nerve pathways—so patients can walk, sleep, and live with more confidence
Personalized and collaborative
No two neuropathy patients are alike. We tailor care to each person’s drivers—whether metabolic, autoimmune, mechanical, or lifestyle-related—and co-manage with primary doctors and specialists. Patients stay involved in tracking progress and adjusting the plan, never stuck in a passive role.
Bottom line
Regenerative and integrative medicine gives us ways to address not only the discomfort of neuropathy, but also the underlying imbalances that make nerves more vulnerable—helping patients move toward steadier function and long-term relief.
Research
Multiple studies have shown that integrative medicine can be safe, natural, and effective for neuropathy.
