Peripheral Neuropathy Treatment in Langley
Living with numbness, tingling, or burning pain in your hands and feet can affect everything from walking to sleeping. At Divine Care Physiotherapy in Langley, we help patients manage peripheral neuropathy symptoms with personalized, evidence-based treatment plans designed to improve balance, reduce pain, and restore confidence in daily movement.
What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged or not functioning properly, most often affecting the hands and feet. It can result from diabetes, chemotherapy, nerve compression or injury, autoimmune conditions, vitamin deficiencies, or in some cases an unknown cause. Left unmanaged, it can lead to reduced sensation, muscle weakness, and a higher risk of falls.
Common Symptoms We Treat
- Numbness or tingling in the feet or hands
- Burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain
- Muscle weakness or loss of coordination
- Balance problems and increased fall risk
- Heightened sensitivity to touch or temperature
How Physiotherapy Helps with Peripheral Neuropathy
Physiotherapy can’t reverse underlying nerve damage, but it plays a key role in managing symptoms, protecting your safety, and helping you stay active and independent. Our treatment plans are built around your specific symptoms and the cause of your neuropathy.
Balance and fall prevention training
Targeted exercises to improve stability and reduce fall risk when sensation in the feet is reduced.
Nerve gliding and desensitization exercises
Gentle techniques to help ease nerve-related pain and improve tolerance to touch and movement.
Strength and mobility exercises
A progressive program to rebuild strength in affected muscles and maintain functional movement.
Manual therapy and pain-relief modalities
Hands-on treatment combined with tools like Class IV laser therapy to help manage discomfort.
Education on foot care and self-management
Practical guidance on protecting your feet and reducing complications, especially important for diabetic neuropathy.
