With pain, numbness, and burning
Neuropathy refers to a condition characterized by damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body. Neuropathy is caused by conditions including diabetes, infections, traumatic injuries, autoimmune diseases, and exposure to certain toxins. As a consequence of nerve damage, individuals with neuropathy often experience a range of symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the affected areas.
Neuropathy can significantly impact a person's quality of life, affecting mobility and daily activities. Neuropathy is more than painful - it's also stressful, bothersome, and all-encompassing. It causes both men and women to become reclusive, depressed, and unable to enjoy life. If you're suffering from neuropathy, you might feel like all hope is lost. But the team at Texas Nerve and Spine are here to help.
Neuropathy relief in Meadows Place, TX, is more achievable than you might think, and it doesn't need to involve harmful surgeries or addictive pain medications.
At our nerve and spine clinic in Meadows Place, TX, we have a simple philosophy: Treat every patient the same way that you would treat your parent, spouse, or child if they were patients at Texas Nerve and Spine. As a family-owned and operated institution, that's just the way we do business. While some spine and nerve pain clinics focus solely on monetary transactions and ROI, we prefer to put our patients' needs first before anything else. And that, in a nutshell, is what sets Texas Nerve and Spine apart from all the others.
We supplement our patient-first philosophy with innovative neuropathy therapies. Our therapies restore our patients' health while correcting the underlying causes of their nerve issues without relying on damaging pharmaceutical drugs or expensive, invasive surgeries.
It all starts with our unique Brain to Body system - a cutting-edge approach developed specifically for people with chronic pain and nerve diseases. This system helps treat patients suffering from a wide range of conditions, including:
If you're in search of lasting relief and world-class therapies for neuropathy, our team is here to serve you.
To reverse neuropathy, areas of the body that have become weak due to disease or injury must be restrengthened. This encompasses your brain, nerves, muscles, blood vessels, and cells. Our experts at Texas Nerve and Spine developed the most advanced chronic pain and neuropathy therapy system to do all of this and more, and we call it the Brain to Body System.
From chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy and extremity numbness to diabetic neuropathy and sciatica, our Brain to Body System helps restore your health and corrects the causes of your problems. Unlike treatments from other nerve and spine clinics, our system provides long-term relief without relying on invasive surgeries or dangerously addictive pharmaceutical medications.
To understand how our Brain to Body System solves chronic pain and similar conditions like nerve disease, you need a basic knowledge of the conditions themselves. That way, you can understand why so many who suffer from them rarely improve.
Neuropathy is nerve damage that causes pain, numbness, and burning in the extremities. This is a type of condition that does not get better on its own and it doesn't alleviate after the use of traditional medical treatments or prescription pain meds.
Pain from neuropathy causes a domino effect; it starts with inflammation, leading to decreased blood supply. This reduction in blood supply results in a lack of oxygen. When your body doesn't get enough oxygen, it loses crucial nutrients that your body needs. This progressive effect often leads to long-term problems such as:
But with our Brain to Body Strengthening System, patients suffering from neuropathy build strength through rehabilitation. This advanced system helps:
Our Brain to Body System is central to our approach to neuropathy relief in Meadows Place, TX. By following our system, we can provide several services to patients suffering from neuropathy.
Breathing in higher levels of oxygen helps to improve your health. Exercise with Oxygen Therapy is a technique that increases oxygen circulation at a more rapid pace than oxygen therapy alone.
At Texas Nerve and Spine, our doctors use the NuStep Recumbent Cross Trainer. This specialized machine trains your muscles, brain, and nerves to work together, which supports your body's whole healing processes. While using the NuStep Recumbent Cross Trainer, patients are hooked up to an oxygen generator to enjoy the benefits of EWOT and reach their neuropathy relief goals.
When you oxygenate your blood with EWOT, it can have amazing benefits that can:
Many patients who visit Texas Nerve and Spine are suffering from neuropathy, due to spinal issues. This requires specialized kind of care from highly trained doctors. If you're in search of a safe, gentle, controlled treatment for nerve and spinal pain, Flexion Distraction therapy may be for you.
Finding relief for this type of condition and pain is often easier said than done. Fortunately, relief is right around the corner at Texas Nerve and Spine. Our Flexion/Distraction Table stretches the spine safely and gently, allowing injured tissue and damaged discs the chance to heal and become hydrated, which lets the affected area recover more effectively and efficiently, while taking the pressure off the nerves that cause the neuropathy.
Patients looking for neuropathy relief in Meadows Place, TX choose Flexion/Distraction therapy because it:
With more than 20 million people in the U.S. suffering from neuropathy, it makes sense that most of them want a solution that does not require pain medication or invasive surgery. That's where laser therapy from Texas Nerve and Spine comes into play. Laser therapy has been used for therapeutic purposes in medical environments for years. In fact, it is FDA-approved and backed by more than 2,500 research studies, which have demonstrated its efficacy in neuropathy relief in Meadows Place, TX.
Though laser therapy is a common treatment option, not all lasers are the same. Our Class IV laser therapy, used in all applicable programs, is the most efficacious and powerful laser available for tissue healing and regeneration and healing. Class IV lasers use photobiomodulation, which provides excellent results for Musculoskeletal disorders. This process has also been proven to help with other various conditions that cause chronic pain, such as sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, shoulder pain, and much more.
Our chronic pain patients choose laser therapy from Texas Nerve and Spine because it:
When your motor functions are limited or non-existent from neuropathy, it can ruin your life. You lose the ability to be independent - one of the hallmarks of being human. Fortunately, with Motor Function Retraining Therapy at Texas Nerve and Spine, patients suffering from neuropathy related motor function issues have a light at the end of the tunnel. This type of specialized physical therapy helps people recover from neuropathy that leaves their motor functions lacking. The goal of Motor Function Retraining Therapy is to regain coordination and strength.
Motor Function Retraining Therapy is a crucial part of the motor function rehabilitation process because it helps patients regain the independence they lost. It helps patients return to their original level of motor function or better.
Based on our Brain to Body Strengthening System, our experts design custom exercise programs based on the patient's needs. We may also use electrical stimulation and other modalities for more effective sessions and recovery.
Motor Function Retraining Therapy provides many benefits, including:
Myofascial Release Therapy gives patients neuropathy relief in Meadows Place, TX, and boosts mobility by loosening tight muscles. There are similarities to traditional massages, however, Myofascial Release Therapy focuses on soft tissues and the muscular system in your body to relieve tension and stress on muscles.
Tight muscles have reduced blood flow and less oxygen, leading to restricted movement and intense pain. Our system uses state-of-the-art technology to apply acute, high-velocity vibration directly to the affected tissue to provide the patient with the environment necessary to increase mobility and reduce pain.
Benefits of this type of therapy include:
When the nerves are weakened, due to neuropathy, pain develops, inflammation increases, and blood flow decreases. If you're searching for a safe, effective way to deal with painful spine related nerve issues Neuro Impulse Therapy may be a great option for neuropathy relief in Meadows Place, TX. Unlike common chiropractic therapies, this advanced therapy does not involve any "cracking" or significant adjustments.
Any type of injury can cause dysfunction and weakness in your brain. To improve cognition and the neurological connection between the brain, the muscles, and the nerves, some injured patients choose to undergo Interactive Neurocognitive Therapy using our Neuro Activation Wall. This wall retains, strengthens, and restores proper function to the brain and nervous system without relying on medications or invasive therapies.
Neuro Impulse Therapy works by using very specific impulses directed at the area causing pain. These targeted impulses send a signal to your body so that it can begin healing and repairing your body naturally.
Texas Nerve and Spine patients choose Neuro Impulse Therapy because it:
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when there is a lack of blood flow to the nerves in areas like your feet and hands. When these nerves are devoid of blood, they begin to decay and degenerate because they don't have enough oxygen or nutrients. Eventually, the nerves in your body shrivel up, causing pain, numbness, balance problems, and other painful symptoms.
Our Brain to Body program works wonders for neuropathy issues like these by using state-of-the-art technology like laser therapy and personalized, strategic plans of action created around our patient's needs. If you're looking for both short and long-term pain relief from peripheral neuropathy, this could be the solution you need.
Spinal conditions that cause neuropathy range in severity from bearable to crippling. To get to the bottom of your spine conditions, our team uses X-Rays to pinpoint the location of your spine's disease. From there, we craft a custom rehabilitation program that addresses the underlying causes of your pain and neuropathy.
Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. When the spine is stretched, it changes its position. This change relieves pressure off the discs in your spine, which act as cushions in your back. By creating negative pressure, herniated and bulging discs retract, giving the nerves and structures in your back relief. This relief sends nutrient-rich fluids and oxygen to the discs so they can heal properly.
Neuropathy can be debilitating. But it doesn't have to be permanent. Your journey to a neuropathy-free life starts with a simple four-step process at Texas Nerve and Spine:
At Texas Nerve and Spine, our doctors understand that true neuropathy relief in Meadows Place, TX, won't happen until we can uncover its underlying cause(s). Our specialists will perform detailed exams and review your medical history to understand the full scope of your condition.
Once we have discovered the underlying reasons for your neuropathy, it's time to begin healing. Our team will work together to craft a personalized treatment plan to provide long-term relief for your neuropathy.
Our team has the experience and resources to provide you with your plan of care. This plan will be based on your needs and our Brain to Body Strengthening System, giving you the relief you deserve - naturally.

Chicken wings are the food of choice for sports bars all across the country and Austin is no different. A fast-growing wing chain is now setting the opening date for its farthest south Austin restaurant yet.
The Pluckers at Southpark Meadows will open on February 17. The new space marks the Austin-based restaurant's 32nd eatery and first Pluckers for the Capital City area in seven years.
The Southpark Meadows Pluckers will also bridge a gap between the company's current South Austin location on South Lamar and its furthest South San Marcos restaurant to serve Austinites and visitors entering or leaving the state's capital city near I-35.
"We’ve always had a special place in our hearts for Austin, where it all began for us, and we’re thrilled to be returning to the area," Dave Paul, Pluckers co-owner and co-founder, said in a news release. "South Austin has experienced tremendous growth, and we wanted to be part of that expansion while also staying true to our roots. This new Southpark Meadows location will give us the chance to serve our delicious wings and create lasting memories for our friends living between South Lamar and San Marcos."
Southpark Meadows is the furthest South Austin shopping center located right off the access road of I-35 South. The new Pluckers joins several other popular eateries within the massive strip including Texas Roadhouse, Chili's, Longhorn Steakhouse and more.
With Pluckers' 30th anniversary approaching in July, this store opening represents a significant milestone for the restaurant, which was originally founded in Austin.
Paul, Mark Greenberg and Sean Greenberg started Pluckers in 1995 as University of Texas at Austin students who craved late-night wings and food. They began the restaurant offering delivery services and it quickly became a hit.
Pluckers now has over 30 restaurants across the state, serving wings, burgers, specialty drinks and more. The chain is also known as a popular game day destination for sports-lovers as big-screen TV's play live streams of games and competitors can participate in weekly trivia nights.
The Southpark Meadows Pluckers will offer the same fan-favorite menu, events and lively ambiance as every other location guarantees, according to a release.

An EF1 tornado with 90-mph winds tore through an area southwest of Houston, causing structural damage to some homes, a storm survey team from the National Weather Service confirmed Friday night.
According to preliminary reporting by weather service storm survey teams, as many as five tornadoes were produced Thursday afternoon: two EF1s and three EF0s on the Enhanced Fujita wind scale. EF1 tornadoes spin at 86 to 110 mph, while the weakest tornadoes at EF0 still spin at 65 to 85 mph.
El Campo tornado: The EF1 tornado, which had an estimated peak wind speed of 95 mph, began at 2:15 p.m. Thursday, lasted five minutes, traveled about half a mile and cut a path about 50 yards wide 3 miles east-northeast of El Campo in Wharton County. Survey teams "found total destruction of a well constructed outbuilding (barn) that resulted with the EF1 rating," the weather service said.
Southwest Harris tornado: The EF1 tornado, which had estimated maximum winds of 90 mph, began at 3:30 p.m., lasted about a minute, traveled only 0.05 mile and cut a path 25 yards wide about a mile north-northwest of Meadows Place in Harris County. Survey teams "found a very brief tornado that resulted in damage to a couple of residential homes that resulted in the EF-1 rating," the weather service said.
Northern Liberty tornado: The EF0 tornado, which had a peak wind speed of 76 mph, began at 3:42 p.m., lasted about 13 minutes and traveled 6.87 miles about 9 to 10 miles northwest of Dayton Lakes in Liberty County. Survey teams "found tree damage and damage to manufactured homes correlating to EF-0 damage."
Lake Houston/Huffman tornado: The EF0 tornado, which had maximum winds of 60 mph, began at 3:51 p.m., lasted three minutes and traveled 2.11 miles about 4 to 6 miles east-southeast of Kingswood in Harris County. Survey teams "could not find any damage associated with this tornado," the weather service said. "However, information from social media imagery and spotter reports helped determine location and timing.'
Dayton tornado: The EF0 tornado had wind speeds of up to 60 mph, began at 4:04 p.m., lasted five minutes and traveled 1.11 miles about 7 miles west of Dayton in Liberty County. Survey teams here also could not find any damage associated with the tornado but pulled information from social media images and spotter reports.
Multiple sightings of tornadoes across Southeast Texas on Thursday had prompted the National Weather Service to send survey teams on Friday to study damage on the ground and pore over video footage to confirm not only the power and paths of the tornadoes but also whether they were true tornadoes at all.
The most definitive and documented tornado sighting on Thursday was a twister spotted in Wharton County, southwest of Houston, around 2:25 p.m. Thursday. The weather service had received multiple reports on the ground and social media videos of a tornado touching down near El Campo, where Doppler radar also indicated areas of rotation within a storm supercell, forecasters said.
LOOK UP, TEXAS: Clouds can tell you more about Texas weather than you think. Here’s a visual guide
Later that afternoon, the weather service also received a report at 3:57 p.m. of a funnel cloud or a possible tornado about 6 miles east-northeast of Atascocita, east of Kingswood, in Harris County.
Weather service meteorologist Brian Kyle on Friday said that the agency was looking into a total of five tornado sightings and the one reported funnel cloud, based on video and spotter reports from Thursday. Kyle suggested that the final tally of twisters may change as the weather service survey teams start verifying the reports firsthand.
According to the weather service, the five reported tornadoes were spotted:
“Storm surveys will be conducted today to find out more details on yesterday’s tornadoes,” the weather service said in a statement Friday morning. “One survey will be conducted in the southwest Houston and El Campo areas and another survey will be in the Liberty County area.”
SEVERE WEATHER: No injuries reported in lightning strike on Tomball residence Thursday, authorities say.
Survey findings will be issued when they are finished later Friday, the agency said.
The weather service survey teams routinely investigate tornado sightings by documenting any damage on the ground, comparing it to data gathered by Doppler radar and other instruments, and reviewing any video footage or photography of the event.

HOUSTON – A swath of severe weather spawned multiple tornadoes in southeastern Texas on Thursday, part of a multi-day severe weather threat sweeping across the South through the end of the week.
Five tornadoes were confirmed around the Houston region. Emergency managers in Texas' Wharton County southwest of Houston reported three tornadoes during the afternoon as a line of severe storms rolled across the Lone Star State.
"There are no reports of severe damage or injuries yet, but we’ll be assessing the situation over the next few hours," Srubar told FOX Weather soon after the twisters struck.
An EF-1 tornado touched down just outside El Campo, Texas, causing some damage to barns.
A man working on a forklift in Wharton County at the time said he got an up-close look at one of the twisters.
"It does make you feel kind of small, though," the man told FOX 26 Houston. "You know, that's kind of a big deal just to be that close to something that powerful."
HOW ARE TORNADOES RATED? THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE EXPLAINED
Closer to Houston, a spotter reported some damage near Meadows Place on the southwest side of the Houston metro due to a brief tornado, according to the National Weather Service office in Houston.
To the northeast of the city, the NWS reported a waterspout over Lake Houston moved onto land near Huffman. Minutes later the NWS took another report of a tornado sighting to the northwest of Dayton.
In all, three tornadoes were rated EF-0 and the other two rated an EF-1, according to NWS Housston.
At least three reports of tornadoes were filed in Louisiana as the storms from Texas rolled across the South. Two of the reports were near the town of Hineston and the other was near Pitkin. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
A minor severe weather threat lingers for portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida before a more significant threat develops Saturday.
Parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama are in a Level 3 out of 5 severe weather threat, according to the SPC.
While details about the budding threat are still being sorted out, the SPC warned that strong tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds are all on the table for Saturday. Residents are being asked to closely monitor the forecast.
