Symptoms such as sharp, electric-like pain, numbness, tingling, burning and tingling, balance issues, and difficulty walking?
If you are like most of the 20 million Americans who suffer from neuropathy, they experience muscle weakness, sensitivity to touch, and their pain often keeps them up at night. While neuropathy can have hundreds of causes, the most common are: uncontrolled diabetes, a side effect from chemotherapy, vitamin deficiencies (B), toxin exposure, alcohol abuse, physical trauma, and infections.
Management vs. Treatment for Neuropathy
Neuropathy can have multiple causes, with one of the most common being uncontrolled diabetes. While managing blood sugar levels can slow the progression and alleviate some symptoms, it does not repair the damaged nerves. Unfortunately, conventional treatments focus on managing the symptoms rather than healing the nerves.
Medications like anticonvulsants (e.g., Lyrica) or pain relief drugs are often prescribed, but they can come with side effects and do little to address the root problem—damaged nerves.
"I had exhaustion, back, joint pain, and severe neuropathy such as a burning sensation in my feet and discoloration and numbness in my hands.
Dr. Gorla's plan, combined with the acupuncture treatment, helped me feel better almost immediately. The numbness and burning in my hands and feet went away, and my back and joint pain also improved quickly. Under Dr. Gorla's care, my quality of life is so much better. I thank Dr. Gorla for helping me feel better than I have in years. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone who wants to feel better and have a better quality of life!"

Our Goals in Neuropathy Treatment:
- Nerve regeneration, where possible.
- Nerve re-education to increase nerve firing and boost microcirculation.
- Improve blood and oxygen flow to damaged tissues.
- Optimize nutrient and antioxidant levels through evidence-based supplementation.
- Eliminate toxins that could be contributing to nerve damage.
Patient Testimonials:
- “After following Dr. Gorla's recommendations, incorporating technology and acupuncture, my symptoms have dramatically improved. I can walk and function with much less pain and burning in my feet. My leg pain is nearly gone.” – B.G., Boone
- “I can’t believe my improvement in just 3 weeks!” – Marti L.
- “With Dr. Gorla’s treatment, I’ve experienced an 85-90% reduction in pain, and I no longer have tingling in the back of my legs or at the bottom of my feet.” – Sandra B.
How We Assess and Treat Neuropathy Cases:
Neuropathy is often misunderstood, and many patients come to us without having received a thorough exam to assess the severity of their condition. It’s common for our patients to express surprise that they haven’t received this level of care from their general practitioner or neurologist.
Our approach involves performing a detailed neuropathy exam to determine the severity of symptoms and understand how it impacts our patients' daily lives. For many, neuropathy is a major quality-of-life issue—affecting sleep, mobility, driving, and overall well-being. We take pride in helping our patients regain control of their lives and enjoy the things they love once again.
Our Treatment Approach:
We use a comprehensive strategy that directly targets the nerves. Our focus is on increasing blood flow to the damaged nerves, delivering essential nutrients, and re-educating the nerves to fire correctly. The great thing about our treatment protocol is that it can reverse neuropathy for many patients. Additionally, we provide our patients with technology they can use at home, allowing them to perform treatments on their own schedule—not ours.
Treatment Options for Neuropathy:
- Nerve Rejuvenation Technology
- Advanced Laser Technology to regenerate blood flow to damaged tissues
- Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
- Whole Body Vibration Therapy to restore balance
- Targeted Supplementation for neuropathy patients
- Comprehensive Education on managing neuropathy
Steps Toward Normal, Pain-Free Living:
A key element of our protocol is a specially designed neuropathy light boot, which boosts circulation and reduces pain and spasms. Neuropathy damages both the nerves and the blood vessels around them. By helping these blood vessels regenerate through angiogenesis, we improve blood flow and deliver essential nutrients to the damaged nerves. This, combined with our targeted supplementation, aids in the healing and regeneration process.
We also use a footbath, similar to those employed by the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, to help retrain nerves to function properly. This comprehensive treatment plan has shown promising results in reversing neuropathy symptoms, and we regularly conduct follow-up exams to track progress.
If you’re suffering from neuropathy, know that you don’t have to live in pain. With our home care neuropathy protocol, you have options. Join one of our neuropathy seminars to learn more, or come in for a free consultation to see if you’re a candidate for our treatment program.
