Living with Neuropathy: Why Choose an NRF-Affiliated Provider?
Neuropathy is defined as damage or disease to the nerves. Specifically, peripheral neuropathy refers to damage to the nerves in the arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes. These nerves send messages back and forth throughout your body, allowing you to feel things like temperature, texture, and pressure. They also control your body's ability to move its muscles. When these nerves get damaged, they can send the wrong signals or no signals at all. This can lead to numbness, tingling, burning, loss of sensation, heaviness, or even a dead feeling in the extremities. It can also cause issues with balance and mobility. Neuropathy is a chronic, progressive condition. It often starts in one limb and, as it progresses, affects more nerves and eventually spreads to both or additional limbs.

Have you been told by your primary care provider or specialist that they’ve done everything they know to do, and you’ll just have to live with it? If so, you're not alone. Your provider likely has done everything they know to help you feel better. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other evidence-based treatments and technologies that can help patients with neuropathy—treatments your provider may not be familiar with. That’s where the Neuropathy Rehabilitation Foundation (NRF) comes in. Each of our affiliated providers is well-versed in the latest and most advanced technologies available to treat neuropathy.
