🧠 Neuropathy: A Growing and Dangerous Problem in Sarasota

Why Ignoring the Tingling, Burning, or Numbness in Your Feet Could Cost You More Than You Think

If you’re one of the thousands of Sarasota residents experiencing tingling, numbness, burning, or pain in your hands or feet, you may be in the early stages of peripheral neuropathy — a condition that’s quietly becoming a major health concern across Florida.

What makes neuropathy so dangerous is not just the symptoms themselves…
It’s the fact that it’s progressive, degenerative, and often ignored until it’s too late.


❗ What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction in the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, especially those in your hands, feet, and legs. These nerves control sensation, movement, digestion, and even circulation — meaning damage can have widespread, life-altering consequences.

Most people associate neuropathy with diabetes — and for good reason. About 60-70% of diabetics develop some form of neuropathy. But you don’t have to be diabetic to be at risk.

Other causes include:

  • Chemotherapy or medication side effects
  • Nutrient deficiencies (especially B12)
  • Alcohol use
  • Back injuries or spinal degeneration
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Poor circulation or vascular problems

🚨 Why Neuropathy Is So Concerning in 2025

Neuropathy isn’t just increasing in frequency — it’s accelerating in how quickly it gets worse.
If left untreated, it can lead to:

  • Permanent nerve damage
  • Loss of balance and coordination
  • Unhealed foot ulcers and amputations
  • Chronic pain that limits mobility or independence

And here’s what’s scary: most conventional treatments rely on pain management, not nerve repair. That’s why many people feel like they’re “managing” their condition when, in reality, it’s getting worse under the surface.


🧬 Neuropathy Is Degenerative — But That Doesn’t Mean It’s Hopeless

At Spine and Wellness Lakewood Ranch, we believe in targeting the root causes of neuropathy, not just the symptoms.

Our advanced neuropathy treatment programs are designed to stimulate nerve regeneration, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation at the cellular level. This often includes:

Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) – to improve cellular energy production
Spinal Decompression (if nerve root involvement is present)
Nutritional Support and Supplementation – including B-complex and mitochondrial boosters
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation – to encourage nerve repair
Custom At-Home Protocols – to continue healing between visits

We’ve seen patients regain sensation, balance, and freedom from pain — even after years of suffering.


📍 Why This Matters for Sarasota Residents

Sarasota has a high population of aging adults, retirees, and active individuals — all of whom are at elevated risk for developing neuropathy.

Whether you’re noticing the first signs of numbness or have been struggling for years, the earlier you take action, the better your results will be.

If you wait, you may lose the opportunity to reverse damage before it becomes permanent.


👣 Common Early Warning Signs of Neuropathy

  • Tingling in the feet or hands (especially at night)
  • Burning or stabbing pain
  • Numbness or reduced sensation
  • Loss of coordination or balance
  • Sensitivity to touch
  • Cold feet or poor circulation

If any of these sound familiar, don’t ignore them.
