YOUR CONSULTATION
A thoughtful next step for nerve pain & neuropathy.
Numbness, tingling, burning, or sensitivity deserve a clear conversation. An evaluation helps organize the story and identify whether additional care or referral may be appropriate.
Changes in sensation can have many possible causes. An appointment is a good place to discuss your concerns, review your history, and determine the appropriate next step for your situation.

When should I discuss nerve pain or neuropathy?
Schedule a conversation when numbness, tingling, burning, or sensitivity is persistent, worsening, or affecting sleep, balance, work, or daily activity.
Can the practice diagnose every cause of neuropathy?
No. Symptoms can have different causes. The goal is to listen, evaluate, and help determine an appropriate next step, including referral when needed.
