Peripheral Neuropathy

Burning, tingling, or numb feet and hands — often from diabetes or chemotherapy.

Understanding it

Painful neuropathy — diabetic and otherwise — was long treated with medication alone. That has changed: spinal cord stimulation is now FDA-approved for painful diabetic neuropathy, with strong trial data showing durable relief. Medication management remains a foundation, with interventional options for those who need more.

When to seek care

If neuropathy pain disrupts sleep or walking despite medication, ask about newer interventional options — meaningful relief is possible.
