Conditions We Treat
Helping patients throughout Southeast Missouri find non-surgical solutions for neuropathy, nerve pain, chronic pain, and related conditions.
You Don't Need To Live With Chronic Nerve Pain
Many patients don’t realize their symptoms may be connected to an underlying condition affecting the nerves or spine.
At Southeast Neuropathy & Longevity, we perform comprehensive evaluations to identify possible contributing factors and develop personalized treatment plans based on your individual needs.
Whether your symptoms began gradually or developed after a medical condition or treatment, we’re here to help you understand your options.
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of peripheral neuropathy. High blood sugar can gradually damage nerves, leading to burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain—especially in the feet and legs.
We focus on helping patients improve function, mobility, and overall quality of life through personalized care.
Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy
Some chemotherapy medications can affect healthy nerves, causing lingering symptoms even after treatment ends.
If you’re experiencing numbness, tingling, or nerve pain following cancer treatment, our personalized approach may help improve comfort and daily function.
Sometimes neuropathy develops without a clearly identifiable cause. This is known as idiopathic neuropathy.
Even when the cause is unknown, many patients benefit from a personalized evaluation and conservative treatment plan focused on symptom management and improved quality of life.
Peripheral neuropathy affects the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, often beginning in the feet and hands.
Common symptoms include burning pain, tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, and changes in balance.
Cardiac-Related Circulation Issues
Poor circulation associated with cardiovascular conditions can sometimes contribute to numbness, cold feet, cramping, or discomfort that may resemble neuropathy.
Our evaluation helps determine whether nerve health, circulation, or another underlying issue may be contributing to your symptoms.
Spinal-Induced Neuropathy
Compression or irritation of spinal nerves can create symptoms similar to peripheral neuropathy.
Conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease may contribute to numbness, weakness, or radiating pain.
Statin-Induced Neuropathy
Although uncommon, some patients taking cholesterol-lowering statin medications report numbness, tingling, or muscle discomfort. If symptoms began after starting medication, a comprehensive evaluation may help determine appropriate treatment options.
