Dr. Ron Martin has spent his career on nerve pain that other offices send away. If your feet burn at night, go numb during the day, or feel like you are walking on gravel, there is a path that does not start with another prescription.
Neuropathy is nerve damage. It shows up as burning, numbness, tingling, stabbing pain, or the strange sensation that your socks are bunched when they are not. It is most often driven by diabetes, chemotherapy, a spinal problem, a circulation problem, or a cause that never gets identified at all.
Most patients arrive having been told two things. That it is permanent, and that medication is the only option. Dr. Martin starts somewhere else. The first visit is an examination to work out which nerves are affected, how far it has progressed, and whether this is a case that responds to conservative care. Some are. Some are not, and you will be told plainly which one yours looks like.
No single device fixes a nerve. These are combined into a plan built around your examination findings.
An FDA cleared device that delivers focused acoustic pressure waves into tissue. It is used to stimulate local circulation and the body's own repair response in the treated area.
It is not a stem cell injection. Nothing is introduced into your body and no needles are involved.
A high powered therapeutic laser, FDA cleared for the temporary relief of pain and a temporary increase in local blood circulation.
Sessions are short, there is no downtime, and most people describe the sensation as a gentle warmth.
Where a spinal or joint problem is contributing to nerve irritation, that is addressed directly with chiropractic care and soft tissue work.
This is the part that gets skipped when neuropathy is treated purely as a medication problem.
Conservative neuropathy care is not appropriate for everyone, and saying so is part of doing this honestly.
If your examination points to an urgent vascular problem, an undiagnosed systemic illness, a non healing wound or infection, or a condition that needs a surgeon, you will be told and referred. Dr. Martin would rather send you to the right place than keep you on a plan that cannot work.
No. Nothing offered here is a drug and nothing here is a surgery. If medication is the right answer for part of your picture, that is a conversation for the clinician who prescribes for you.
That depends on what is causing the nerve damage and how long it has been there. Nerve tissue responds slowly, and some damage does not reverse. The examination exists to tell you which category you are likely in before you commit to anything.
Nerve recovery is measured in weeks and months, not days. A plan length is set after the examination, based on findings rather than a package sold in advance.
