Neuropathy pain relief in Brooklyn NY
Neuropathy symptoms like burning, tingling, numbness, and loss of balance can make everyday life harder. Brooklyn Spine Center uses non-drug therapies to help ease symptoms and support healthier nerve function.
Neuropathy is a nerve problem, and nerve problems have causes
The nerves behind burning, tingling, and numbness are usually affected by something specific, like circulation problems, diabetes, or pressure on nerves in the spine. Finding that cause is the first step. See what to expect at your first visit, or learn more about our approach.
Symptoms we commonly treat in this category:
Burning or tingling in the feet
Heat, pins and needles, or electric-like feelings in the soles and toes, often worse at night.
Numbness in the hands or feet
Loss of feeling that can affect your grip, balance, and ability to sense temperature or pressure.
Loss of balance and coordination
Unsteadiness when walking or standing, often because the nerves in your feet aren’t sending clear signals.
Nerve pain in the arms or legs
Shooting, stabbing, or aching pain that travels through the limbs, sometimes with weakness or sensitivity to touch.
Diabetic neuropathy symptoms
Nerve symptoms in the feet and lower legs linked to high blood sugar, which call for care coordinated with your physician.

Looking beyond symptom management
Medication can help many people manage neuropathy symptoms. Our care focuses on factors that may contribute to the problem, like poor circulation, inflammation, and pressure on nerves in the spine. Dr. Melinda Keller and our team work alongside your physician, so keep taking any medications as prescribed.
Supporting the right environment for nerves
Better circulation and less inflammation help create healthier conditions for nerve tissue.
Circulation matters
Poor blood flow to the nerves can contribute to neuropathy, so improving circulation is a key part of our care.
The spine can play a role
Pressure on nerve roots in the neck or low back can cause symptoms in the hands and feet, so we check the spine too.
Earlier care is better
Nerve symptoms can become harder to improve over time, so it’s worth getting evaluated sooner rather than later.
