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 Missouri City, TX, is more achievable than you might think, and it doesn't need to involve harmful surgeries or addictive pain medications.

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:

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.

The pickleball boom has hit Houston—and it’s only going to keep growing, said Mookie McDevitt, senior vice president of Strategic Partnerships at ACE Pickleball Club, which is set to open in Sugar Land in early 2026.“Five years ago, if you walked into any bar or restaurant and said, ‘Hey, does anybody here play pickleball?’ They would have no idea what you were talking about,” McDevitt said.McDevitt said between the incoming Sugar Land location, along with the company’s Magnolia locatio...
The pickleball boom has hit Houston—and it’s only going to keep growing, said Mookie McDevitt, senior vice president of Strategic Partnerships at ACE Pickleball Club, which is set to open in Sugar Land in early 2026.
“Five years ago, if you walked into any bar or restaurant and said, ‘Hey, does anybody here play pickleball?’ They would have no idea what you were talking about,” McDevitt said.
McDevitt said between the incoming Sugar Land location, along with the company’s Magnolia location, he thinks there is still a “tremendous amount of growth” coming to the sport, which saw its boom during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What's happening?
A constant stream of private pickleball courts has opened or are coming to the Sugar Land and Missouri City area, including the upcoming opening of ACE, the opening of 24 Hour Pickle in February 2024 and Life Time Sugar Land’s 13-court expansion in 2023, which brings its total to 16.
Life Time sees about 6,800 individual participants playing every month, said Asia Rose, pickleball director at Life Time Sugar Land. Additional private courts are also available at the Missouri City Life Time location.
Zooming in
Both the cities of Sugar Land and Missouri City have made a point of focusing on pickleball as a way to serve diverse populations of all ages, city officials told Community Impact.
City-owned pickleball courts, include:
“The ability to use a limited space to create joyful and exciting games makes the per square foot investment of pickleball very appealing for a recreation and parks department as it allows for us to serve a diverse population,” Missouri City Communications Manager Sofia Jamal said.
Zooming out
The Greater Houston area is leading nationally in the number of pickleball businesses with 59 facilities, according to the September and October 2025 edition of Pickleball Magazine.Meanwhile, Texas is third in the nation with 854 pickleball facilities and 3,584 courts behind Florida and California, which each have 1,667 and 1,153 courts, respectively.
Pickleball has seen a 223% increase in participation from 2020 to 2024, with a 15-20% projected annual increase in 2025 and 2026, according to recent data from the Sports & Fitness Industry Association. The association also named pickleball the fastest-growing sport in America in 2022.
Going forward
The growth is expected to hit the local area, with McDevitt opening ACE in March, and Life Time planning to cover some of its outdoor courts, Rose said.
Missouri City is also in the design phase of a $15 million renovation of Sta-Mo Park, where six additional outdoor courts—including two covered courts—will be built, Jamal said.
At 24 Hour Pickle, which has eight courts, co-owner Kirandeep Singh said the business has already discussed expansion with the landlord, but is eyeing another option—padel, a racket sport similar to pickleball and tennis but played inside a glass box.
Singh said he thinks padel could be the next big thing and believes it would be easy to convert pickleball courts for the change, if necessary.
“I feel like when you play the same sport for a while, sometimes you want to explore something else as well,” he said. “If you build it, people will play it,” he said.

If a restaurant chain had legs, you could have sworn Trill Burgers had a pep in its step as it strolled into the New Year. The Houston smashburger business opened two more locations in the suburbs and introduced a new beverage to its menu. It also capped the year off with something else: a legal win.
Attorneys involved with the case confirmed to Chron that former U.S. Fifth Circuit Judge Gregg Costa ruled in favor of Trill Burgers and its leadership team on all counts during arbitration on Dec. 19. Costa affirmed his ruling on New Year's Eve, denying Patsy and Benson Vivares' claims against the restaurant chain.
In 2024, Chron first reported on the dueling litigation that had painted a messy picture of Trill Burgers' origin story. What's not in contention is that the concept was born from a partnership between the Vivares siblings, hospitality entrepreneur Andy Nguyen, Houston rapper Bun B, and PR flack Nick Scurfield in 2021. The business relationship between the siblings and the rest of the founders fractured a year later.
According to their 2023 lawsuit, the Vivares siblings said they were the original creators of the smashburger and still had an ownership stake in the business. Conversely, the Trill Burgers co-founders refuted those claims and accused the siblings of stealing $45,000 from the company.
"As I said a year and a half ago, there was no truth to the horrible things said about my client and dear friend Bernard 'Bun B' Freeman," attorney Charles Adams told Chron. "Bun, Andy Nguyen and Nick Scurfield are the owners of Trill Burgers."
The Trill case made its way through the Harris County courts and eventually landed in arbitration. (Arbitration allows two parties to resolve their differences privately outside of a court room,) According to Adams, Costa's ruling to reject the Vivares siblings' claims against Bun B and the other Trill Burgers leadership team is final.
"We beat the brakes off those lying motherf---ers. Happy New Years!" said Jourdain Poupore, Scurfield's attorney.
Saad Aziz, the attorney representing the Vivares siblings, confirmed the results of the arbitration but did not cede the win entirely. "Thats correct, we did not receive a favorable ruling in arbitration but the fight is not over," Aziz said. "Our clients have unresolved legal claims we intend to continue to pursue."
