Neuropathy Care at CitiMD in Las Vegas

At CitiMD in Las Vegas, we provide specialized care for individuals affected by neuropathy, a condition where peripheral nerves (those outside of the brain and spinal cord) experience dysfunction, leading to chronic pain and discomfort. Neuropathy often results in symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, or prickling, particularly in the legs and feet, which can impact balance and mobility. Diabetic neuropathy, a common type, affects millions in the United States due to high blood sugar levels causing nerve damage in the lower extremities. Left untreated, diabetic neuropathy can lead to severe complications, such as difficult-to-heal foot ulcers that may require amputation.

Causes and Treatment of Neuropathy at CitiMD

Diabetes is a leading cause of neuropathy, but other conditions can also lead to nerve dysfunction. These include:

• Autoimmune diseases
• Shingles (causing postherpetic neuralgia)
• Epstein-Barr virus
• Lyme disease
• Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
• Bone marrow disorders
• Kidney disease
• Connective tissue disorders
• Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
• Exposure to toxins
• Vitamin B and E deficiencies

Nerve injuries or compression, often caused by thickened ligaments, bone spurs, or tumors, can also lead to neuropathy. Some cases are classified as idiopathic neuropathy, where no clear cause is identifiable.

CitiMD offers advanced, non-invasive neuropathy treatments to address pain and improve quality of life. Our cell-signaling therapy, which uses gentle sound waves to stimulate cellular healing, has proven effective in reducing pain and enhancing nerve function. Many patients report improved balance, reduced reliance on pain medications, and greater mobility after completing treatment.
