If you’re living with burning, tingling, numbness, or shooting pain, you already know how neuropathy can affect everything—sleep, walking, workouts, even simple daily tasks. At Progressive Medical Center, Dr. Fabian Morales, MD takes an integrative approach to neuropathy care focused on protecting nerve function, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body’s repair processes using personalized medical strategies and advanced therapies.
Our goal: help you identify what’s driving your symptoms and build a plan that supports real, measurable improvement—step by step.
What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to damage or irritation of the nerves—most often in the hands and feet (called peripheral neuropathy). Symptoms can range from mild tingling to significant pain or weakness. While neuropathy is commonly associated with diabetes, there are many possible causes, and finding your root cause is a major part of effective care.
Common Neuropathy Symptoms
You may be experiencing neuropathy if you notice:
-
Burning, tingling, “pins and needles”
-
Numbness (especially in toes/feet or fingers/hands)
-
Sharp, stabbing, or electric-like pain
-
Sensitivity to touch
-
Muscle weakness, cramping, or balance issues
-
Symptoms that worsen at night
If you’ve been told “labs are normal” but you still feel off, you’re not alone—neuropathy can be complex, and it often requires a deeper, more personalized evaluation.
What Causes Neuropathy?
Neuropathy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some of the most common drivers include:
- Blood sugar dysregulation / diabetes or prediabetes
- Vitamin and nutrient deficiencies
- Thyroid imbalance
- Chronic inflammation
- Autoimmune activity
- Toxin exposure
- Spine or nerve compression
- Poor circulation
Our Integrative Approach to Neuropathy Care
At Progressive Medical Center, neuropathy support is designed to be personalized and multi-layered, often combining:
Root-Cause Medical Evaluation
Your care begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand symptom patterns, contributing conditions, and the most likely drivers.
Circulation + Inflammation Support
Because nerves rely heavily on blood flow and a healthy inflammatory response, plans often prioritize improving the body’s internal environment for healing.
Regenerative & Advanced Therapies
Dr. Morales may incorporate innovative options such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—which uses components of your own blood and is often discussed for its potential role in supporting tissue repair processes and circulation.
Your treatment plan will depend on your history, exam findings, and clinical suitability.
Targeted Nutritional + Lifestyle Strategy
When appropriate, we may address nutrient repletion, metabolic support, movement, sleep, and habits that influence nerve health and pain signaling.
What to Expect at Your Neuropathy Appointment
During your visit, you can expect:
-
Symptom review (timing, triggers, severity, location)
-
Medical history + medication review
-
Focused physical exam and functional assessment
-
Recommendations for appropriate testing (if needed)
-
A clear plan with next steps and follow-up guidance
Frequently Asked Questions
Some cases improve significantly when the root driver is identified and addressed early, while other cases focus on symptom reduction and functional improvement. Your prognosis depends on cause, duration, and overall health.
No. Diabetes is common, but neuropathy can also be linked to nutrient deficiencies, thyroid issues, inflammation, toxin exposure, nerve compression, and more.
Not everyone needs extensive testing, but the right labs or evaluations can be helpful when symptoms are persistent or unexplained.
Plans may include metabolic support, nutrition strategies, circulation/inflammation support, and advanced options such as regenerative approaches like PRP when appropriate.
