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 Mission Bend, 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 Mission Bend, 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 Mission Bend, 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.

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 Mission Bend, 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 Mission Bend, 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 Mission Bend, 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 Mission Bend, 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.

Mission Bend, TX (February 20, 2025) – A house fire in Mission Bend early Thursday morning resulted in one fatality and left two others injured, according to the Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office.
The fire broke out at a home on Sierra Valle, near Bellaire Boulevard, close to the Westpark Tollway and Highway 6. Firefighters with the Community Volunteer Fire Department arrived just after 3 AM to find heavy flames engulfing the back of the residence. Witnesses outside the home informed emergency responders that a person was still inside.
Fire crews entered the home and discovered the deceased victim during their search efforts. Two others sustained injuries—one suffered minor burns to their hands, while the other was treated for smoke inhalation. Both individuals were evaluated at the scene and later released.
Authorities have confirmed that the home was a county-registered boarding house for individuals with disabilities, where three to four residents were living at the time of the fire. The other occupants have since secured alternative housing. The Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office removed the deceased individual from the home Thursday morning and collected evidence from the scene.
Investigators remain on-site working to determine the cause of the fire. While no official cause has been released, fire officials are urging residents to practice safety precautions when using heating devices, particularly in colder temperatures.
Residential fires are a growing concern in Texas, especially during the winter months when people rely more heavily on space heaters, fireplaces, and electrical heating devices. Fires in multi-resident homes, such as boarding houses, present unique risks due to the number of occupants and potential challenges in evacuating quickly. In many cases, house fires result from electrical malfunctions, improperly maintained heating equipment, or unattended open flames.
Beyond the immediate dangers of smoke inhalation and burns, the impact of a fire can be devastating for victims and their families. The loss of a loved one, displacement from a home, and the financial burden of rebuilding can be overwhelming. Even those who survive may suffer long-term health complications from smoke exposure. Ensuring that homes have working smoke detectors, clear exits, and a well-practiced evacuation plan can help prevent further tragedies.
Fire investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding this Mission Bend fire. More details may emerge as officials determine what led to this tragic incident.
If you or a loved one has been affected by a house fire and need support, seeking professional guidance can help navigate the recovery process. Contact Local Accident Reports for information on available resources.

Editors Note: This article has been updated to include a project timeline.
A regional facility aimed at preparing first responders for swift water rescues is opening near Mission Bend.
What’s happening?
Harris Fort Bend Emergency Services District No. 100 has contracted Calibre Engineering to design and construct a Swift Water Training Operation and Rescue Mission Ranch aimed at providing advanced training in flood response and swift water rescue, ESD No. 100 and Calibre Engineering officials announced in a Jan. 13 news release.
The facility is expected to train up to 6,000 local and regional personnel yearly, according to the release.
ESD No. 100 provides emergency medical and fire services to 25 square miles in Harris and Fort Bend County, including parts of Cinco Ranch, according to its website.
What they’re saying
“From simulating realistic swift water scenarios to providing controlled environments for skill development, this facility will be invaluable in its ability to deliver vital hands-on training,” Dale Terry, ESD No. 100 board president, said in the release. “Regional emergency response teams will no longer depend on finding a creek or river flowing at an ideal level to create the proper conditions for this vital training. With just the push of a button, the water can be turned on and off. This will allow us to train more first responders in a more realistic environment in order to be fully ready for the next hurricane.”
A closer look
The 25,000-square-foot facility will feature an urban flood rescue simulator with a “Main Street” featuring a two-story residential building, a sunken residential building, a high ropes tower and a two-story care facility, according to the release.
Additionally, the 27-acre site will house:
Why it matters
The new facility will replace the department's flood training in the Guadalupe River, which is an uncontrolled environment and only allows training in a small number of scenarios, Samantha Smith, captain and public information officer for ESD No. 100, said in an email.
"This training facility is needed because there is no other comparable facility in the world," she said in the email. "Specifically, due to the extreme flooding Texas and the Greater Houston area faces, it was an absolute necessity to have a facility in our backyard to ensure our first responders can train and prepare adequately."
Going forward
Design for the project has been completed with construction expected to begin in August, Smith said. Completion is expected in 12 to 18 months from the start date.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston Mayor John Whitmire announced on Friday that he assembled a team to help the city get through the cold weather.
Whitmire said the city is doing everything possible to make things safe, including opening 10 warming centers across the area.
You can view a map with the warming locations available through the City of Houston Office of Emergency Management:
The locations include:
The city said the centers opened to the public on Sunday, Jan. 19, at 6 p.m. and remain open 24 hours a day until midday on Thursday, Jan. 23.
Whitmire said people who arrive with items will be allowed to keep them with them while they are at the warming centers, which are staffed with health and public safety personnel and equipped with basic necessities.
If someone needs a ride to a warming center, they can call 311 and request a Z-Trip to take them to any open warming center.

The City of Houston is not the only area with open warming centers.
In Harris County Precinct 4, Commissioner Lesley Briones opened the Bayland, Burnett Bayland, and Radack Community Centers as places of refuge for any resident in need from January 20 - 22 from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Residents are welcome to bring crated pets to any warming center.
Fort Bend County is doing the same. Those locations include:
Overnight centers: Attack Poverty | Friends of North Rosenberg, 1908 Ave. E, Rosenberg Texas 77471, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Daytime only centers: Libraries 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
YMCA 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.
One big question residents in the region have is whether the lights will stay on. It's been four years since the 2021 freeze when that wasn't the case. ABC13 asked the mayor how things are looking from that standpoint.
"Our state officials and everyone is obviously preparing," Whitmire said Friday during a press conference for the Chevron Houston Marathon. "In terms of generation, power coming into the city -- that's an ERCOT-related matter. Depends on what day of the week it is-- their reply, but today they are saying they (have) sufficient power."
ERCOT has issued a Weather Watch for Monday through Thursday.
