What Is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction of the peripheral nerves—the communication network that sends signals between your brain, spinal cord, and body. When these nerves are injured or deprived of oxygen, they stop sending proper signals. The result is pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that often begins in the hands and feet and may worsen over time.
At Premier Health Institute Los Angeles, our focus is on identifying the root cause of neuropathy and treating it non-surgically. Using advanced oxygen, circulation, and red-light therapies, we help restore nerve health naturally and reduce pain without medication or invasive procedures.
Common Causes of Neuropathy
While diabetes is one of the most well-known causes, neuropathy can develop from many other conditions that limit oxygen or blood flow to nerve tissue.
Common contributors include:
- Diabetes and blood sugar imbalance
- Circulatory insufficiency or vascular disease
- Nutrient deficiencies (especially B vitamins)
- Chronic inflammation or autoimmune disorders
- Nerve compression from posture or injury
- Exposure to toxins or chemotherapy
- Prolonged stress and hormonal imbalance
Regardless of the source, most neuropathy begins with reduced oxygen delivery and impaired circulation to the nerves. Without enough oxygen, nerve cells can’t repair or transmit signals effectively.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Neuropathy
Early detection is key to successful recovery. Neuropathy symptoms may start mildly and progress gradually if left untreated.
Common signs include:
- Burning, tingling, or numbness in the hands or feet
- Sharp, shooting pain or electrical sensations
- Loss of balance or coordination
- Muscle weakness or heavy legs
- Cold or discolored feet and toes
- Restless legs or cramping at night
- Decreased sensitivity to temperature or touch
If you’re experiencing one or more of these symptoms, early intervention can make a significant difference in preventing further nerve damage.
How Premier Health Institute Approaches Neuropathy
Our Los Angeles neuropathy program focuses on improving blood flow, oxygenation, and cellular repair. Instead of masking pain with medication, we address the underlying cause: reduced circulation and oxygen deprivation in nerve tissue.
Our treatment protocols combine:
- Oxygen Therapy to restore oxygen flow to damaged nerves.
- Circulation & Balance Therapy to improve microvascular function and nutrient delivery.
- Red-Light Therapy to stimulate mitochondrial energy and nerve repair.
- Vagus Nerve Activation Therapy to calm the nervous system and reduce inflammation.
- Nutritional and Lifestyle Support to optimize nerve healing at home.
How Oxygen Therapy Repairs Damaged Nerves
Oxygen is the most essential nutrient for nerve health. Oxygen therapy increases the concentration of oxygen in the bloodstream, improving cellular metabolism and supporting the regeneration of nerve fibers.
By enhancing oxygen delivery to the extremities, patients experience improved sensation, reduced pain, and stronger coordination. Over time, this helps nerves repair naturally without invasive surgery.
The Role of Circulation Therapy in Neuropathy Recovery
Poor circulation starves nerves of the oxygen and nutrients they need to function. Our Circulation & Balance Therapy gently stimulates blood flow through specialized devices and targeted exercise protocols.
When circulation improves, damaged nerves receive the nourishment they need to heal. This therapy also helps reduce swelling and restore warmth to cold, numb feet—a sign of improved vascular health.
Red-Light Therapy and Nerve Regeneration
Red-Light Therapy is one of the most powerful tools for neuropathy recovery. It uses specific wavelengths of light to activate mitochondrial energy in cells. This process increases ATP production—the energy your nerves need to repair and communicate effectively.
Patients often report reduced pain, stronger muscle control, and restored feeling in the feet and legs after several sessions. Red-light therapy also reduces inflammation and improves microcirculation, accelerating overall healing.
Vagus Nerve Activation and Nervous System Reset
The Vagus Nerve plays a major role in nerve repair and inflammation control. When this nerve is activated, it signals the body to shift from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-repair.”
Our Vagus Nerve Activation Therapy helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress-related inflammation, and enhance oxygen delivery to peripheral nerves. Over time, this supports balanced nerve communication and faster recovery.
Patient Story: From Numbness to Normalcy
A 68-year-old Los Angeles patient came to our clinic experiencing constant tingling and numbness in her feet, making walking painful. After 10 weeks of oxygen, circulation, and red-light therapy, her sensation improved significantly.
She said, “For the first time in years, I can feel my feet again. I didn’t realize how much I had adapted to pain until it started to fade.”
The Importance of Early Intervention
Nerve damage doesn’t have to be permanent—but timing matters. Early neuropathy can often be reversed with consistent therapy, but chronic damage can take longer to recover. The key is improving oxygen and circulation before the nerves lose full function.
That’s why our program focuses on comprehensive diagnostics, continuous progress tracking, and individualized care for each patient.
Lifestyle Support for Neuropathy Recovery
- Maintain stable blood sugar levels to reduce nerve stress.
- Stay active with low-impact movement to boost circulation.
- Eat nutrient-rich foods with antioxidants and B vitamins.
- Avoid alcohol and smoking, which restrict oxygen flow.
- Practice deep breathing to improve oxygen intake daily.
Why Los Angeles Patients Choose Premier Health Institute
Our neuropathy program stands out because it focuses on natural recovery, not symptom suppression. Patients across Los Angeles come to us seeking a long-term solution that addresses root causes—oxygen deprivation, poor circulation, and inflammation.
By combining cutting-edge therapies with a personalized approach, we help restore function, reduce pain, and bring patients back to a more active, comfortable life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can neuropathy really be reversed?
Yes, in many cases. When blood flow and oxygen delivery are restored early, nerve cells can regenerate and regain proper function.
How long does treatment take?
Most patients begin noticing improvement within 4–8 weeks, depending on the severity of nerve damage and consistency of care.
Is treatment safe for older adults?
Absolutely. All therapies are non-invasive, gentle, and well-tolerated by patients of all ages.
The Takeaway
Neuropathy doesn’t have to define your life. When oxygen and circulation are restored, nerves can heal naturally, pain fades, and mobility returns. At Premier Health Institute Los Angeles, we specialize in helping patients recover from neuropathy safely, effectively, and without surgery.
