Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment in Jacksonville FL
Specialized care to address nerve damage, reduce pain/numbness, and restore function in the extremities
Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition resulting from damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, causing chronic symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning pain, weakness, and loss of balance, typically in the hands and feet. This nerve damage severely impacts mobility, sleep, and quality of life, often leaving patients with a sense of irreversible loss.
At the Brain Optimization Institute in Jacksonville, FL, we know that neuropathy is often a result of metabolic injury (like diabetes), inflammatory stress, or autoimmune attack, leading to a failure of oxygen and nutrients to reach the nerve cells. We focus on identifying the specific cause of injury and supporting nerve regeneration.
We utilize the BrainOp Reconnection SystemTM—a comprehensive approach that combines Functional Medicine to address the metabolic and inflammatory drivers with Functional Neurology and Neurological Rehabilitation to stimulate and re-educate the affected nerves and the brain regions that map them.
Our framework for nerve recovery is built on five essential pillars to help patients reduce pain, improve sensation, and restore balance:
Reconnect your brain and nervous system
Reconnect to your purpose by releasing trauma
Reconnect to foods and environments you love
Reconnect to pain-free movement
Reconnect to the life you want
Neuropathy Challenges We Support
We most often work with Jacksonville and Florida residents struggling with:
-
Diabetic Neuropathy
Numbness and burning pain resulting from chronic blood sugar dysregulation.
-
Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy
Nerve damage following cancer treatment.
-
Idiopathic Neuropathy
Symptoms where the cause has not been identified.
-
Chronic Pain/Paresthesia
Persistent burning, tingling, or electrical sensations.
-
Balance and Gait Instability
Falling risk due to loss of sensation (proprioception) in the feet.
Our care focuses on improving local circulation and oxygenation to the damaged nerves while using targeted sensory and motor rehabilitation to reactivate nerve signaling pathways.
How We Assess Nerve Health
Every patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation focused on objectively measuring the function of the peripheral nerves and the central brain structures that process sensory input.
Our Testing Includes:
Neurological Assessments
Detailed sensory testing (vibration, two-point discrimination), deep tendon reflex evaluation, and balance testing.
Gait and Stability Analysis
Objective measurement of walking patterns and fall risk.
Limbic Brain Testing
Identifying stress patterns that amplify pain and reduce the body’s healing capacity.
Laboratory Testing
Essential evaluation of HBA1c/Insulin, autoimmune markers, inflammatory status, Vitamin B12, and other nutrient co-factors critical for nerve health.
This whole-body assessment allows us to design a tailored program to address the metabolic injury and stimulate the brain/body connection to support nerve repair.
Your Next Step
Peripheral neuropathy may be part of your story, but it doesn't have to define your future. At Brain Optimization Institute, we believe every patient can reconnect with resilience, purpose, and health.
If you’re ready to explore a new path — one that addresses the whole you, not just your symptoms — we invite you to take the first step.
