Causes of Nerve Damage
If you’ve been experiencing numbness, tingling, burning, or sharp pains in your hands or feet, you may be suffering from peripheral neuropathy. While many people associate neuropathy with aging or injury, few realize the major role that blood sugar levels—especially spikes and crashes—can play in fueling nerve damage and making symptoms worse.
At Elevation Health Center, we help patients get to the root cause of their neuropathy symptoms through a holistic, drug-free approach. One of the key factors we address is blood sugar regulation, which is often overlooked in traditional treatment methods.
The Blood Sugar-Neuropathy Link: What’s Really Going On?
Your nerves are highly sensitive and require a steady flow of nutrients and oxygen-rich blood to function properly. When blood sugar levels spike, it leads to inflammation and oxidative stress—both of which damage small blood vessels that nourish your nerves.
Over time, this damage compromises nerve function, leading to the painful and often debilitating symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. This is especially common in people with diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome. However, you don’t have to be diabetic to suffer from blood sugar-induced nerve issues.
Many people experience “subclinical” blood sugar imbalances that are enough to create nerve irritation without triggering a formal diagnosis. That’s why even people who have never been told they are diabetic can still suffer from burning, tingling, or numbness in their extremities.
Common Symptoms of Blood Sugar-Related Nerve Damage
-
Tingling or numbness in the hands, feet, legs, or arms
-
Burning or stabbing pain, especially at night
-
Muscle weakness or coordination problems
-
Heightened sensitivity to touch
-
Balance issues or trouble walking
If any of these sound familiar, addressing your blood sugar could be the key to relief.
How Elevation Health Center Treats Neuropathy Holistically
At Elevation Health Center, we offer an integrated approach to neuropathy that goes far beyond temporary symptom relief. Our team uses advanced diagnostics and personalized care plans to help patients restore nerve function naturally. Here’s how:
1. Advanced Neuropathy Treatment Protocol
We use a combination of electrostimulation therapy, low-level light therapy (LLLT), and vibration therapy to stimulate nerve regeneration, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, reducing nerve damage.
These therapies are non-invasive and pain-free—and they get results. Most patients begin noticing improvement within a few weeks of consistent treatment.
2. Functional Nutrition and Blood Sugar Support
You can’t heal nerve damage without addressing the root cause—often poor blood sugar control. Our functional nutrition program includes:
-
Blood sugar assessments
-
Customized meal plans
-
Natural supplements to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation
-
Coaching for sustainable lifestyle changes
This program supports stable energy, fewer cravings, and improved metabolic health—which in turn reduces the strain on your nerves.
3. Doctor-Supervised Weight Loss Program
Excess weight can worsen blood sugar control and compress nerves, making neuropathy symptoms worse. Our doctor-supervised weight loss program is designed to help you lose fat quickly and safely while improving blood sugar levels and reducing pressure on nerve pathways and in turn, reducing nerve damage.
This program includes:
-
Comprehensive metabolic evaluation
-
Fat-burning protocols
-
Weekly accountability and support
-
Long-term weight maintenance strategies
Many patients report a significant reduction in neuropathy symptoms as they lose weight and stabilize their glucose levels.
4. Complimentary Chiropractic Adjustments and Cranial Facial Release
Improper spinal alignment and restricted nerve pathways can worsen neuropathy symptoms. At Elevation Health Center, we include gentle chiropractic adjustments and cranial facial release (CFR) to relieve pressure on the nervous system and enhance overall nerve communication.
These techniques are safe, effective, and tailored to your comfort level.
