Other Pain Conditions

Common Signs of Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy can present differently from person to person. Symptoms we commonly see include:

  • Burning or shooting pain in the hands or feet
  • Tingling or pins and needles sensations
  • Numbness or reduced sensation
  • Increased sensitivity to touch
  • Balance and coordination difficulties
  • Muscle weakness
  • Discomfort that worsens at night
  • Changes in temperature sensitivity
  • A sensation of wearing gloves or socks when none are present

Early evaluation is important, as untreated nerve issues can progress over time.

Our Neuropathy Treatment Approach in New Jersey

Many treatments focus only on temporarily reducing discomfort. At Total Health Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center, our goal is to support lasting neuropathy pain relief by addressing underlying contributors to nerve irritation and damage.

Care begins with a thorough assessment, which may include EMG testing for neuropathy when appropriate. This allows us to evaluate nerve function and better understand the extent of nerve involvement. From there, we develop a personalized nerve damage treatment plan based on your symptoms, history, and test findings.

Treatment plans may include gentle spinal and joint care, therapies to improve circulation, and techniques designed to reduce nerve compression. By improving alignment, movement, and blood flow, we aim to create an environment where nerves can function more effectively.

Understanding the Nervous System and Neuropathy

Your nervous system functions as a communication network between your brain and body. The spinal cord and peripheral nerves transmit signals that control sensation, movement, and coordination. When this system is disrupted, symptoms of peripheral neuropathy can develop.

Nerve damage can occur due to compression, poor circulation, metabolic factors, or spinal misalignment. Similar to a pinched cable affecting an electrical signal, interference anywhere along the nerve pathway can lead to pain or numbness in the extremities.

By addressing spinal alignment and movement, neuropathy treatment in New Jersey at Total Health Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center NJ aims to reduce interference and support healthier nerve communication. Improved alignment may also enhance blood flow, which is essential for nerve repair and function.

Supporting Your Recovery from Neuropathy

Managing neuropathy requires consistency and a plan that fits your daily life. At Total Health Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center NJ, we work with you to build a sustainable care approach focused on gradual improvement.

Your plan may include:

  • Exercises designed to support circulation and mobility

  • Non-invasive therapies such as red light or cold laser therapy to encourage cellular repair

Many patients report improvements in sleep, reduced nerve pain, better balance, and increased confidence in daily activities as care progresses.

How You Can Receive Neuropathy Pain Relief at Total Health Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Center in New Jersey

At Total Health in New Jersey, our New Jersey pain specialists use nerve testing to investigate chronic pain, numbness, or tingling when the source isn’t clear. We take time to listen to your concerns, review your symptoms, and explain what the test will look like before starting.

Nerve testing at Total Health includes two complementary studies:

  • Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) testing
  • Electromyography (EMG) testing

Together, these tests form an electrodiagnostic evaluation that helps identify nerve damage, compression, or dysfunction.

What Is an NCV Test?

Nerve Conduction Velocity Testing in New Jersey

During the NCV test, small surface electrodes are placed on the skin to measure how quickly electrical signals travel through specific nerves. This portion of nerve testing helps determine whether a nerve is conducting signals normally or if there may be irritation, compression, or damage.

NCV testing can help identify conditions such as:

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Sciatic nerve problems
  • Peripheral nerve injuries
  • Guillain-Barré syndrome
  • Back or neck pain related to nerve compression
  • Degenerative disc disease with nerve involvement

If you are experiencing symptoms like tingling hands, numb feet, or radiating leg pain, NCV testing can help narrow down why it is happening.

What Is an EMG Test?

Electromyography (EMG) for Nerve and Muscle Function

An EMG test evaluates muscle activity using tiny, sterile needles placed into specific muscles. During the test, you will gently contract and relax targeted muscles while electrical activity is recorded.

EMG testing helps determine whether symptoms are coming from:

  • Nerve dysfunction
  • Muscle disorders
  • Pinched nerves from the spine
  • Ongoing nerve irritation affecting muscle control

This test is extremely helpful when symptoms involve weakness, cramping, or muscle fatigue, and when the cause is not clear from imaging alone.

Ellie is absolutely amazing! I had neck and upper back pain for over 8 months having visited a number of physio and consultants, no success. Ellie identified the problem in the first session and had it fixed in the next two. Great energy, great passion. Definitely recommend. Thank you.
