Numbness & Neuropathy Treatment in Naples, FL
Tingling fingers, burning feet, or a numb calf can turn everyday tasks into a struggle. If these sensations are part of your life, you are not alone. Many Naples residents think nerve problems are “just age” or “just diabetes,” yet early care often restores feeling. At Bergtold Chiropractic Naples Florida, we focus on gentle, drug-free solutions that calm irritated nerves and bring sensation back. Dr. James Bergtold—your trusted neuropathy chiropractor Naples patients recommend—blends precise spinal adjustments with light-based therapy and easy home habits. The goal is simple: better blood flow, less pressure on nerves, and steady improvement you can feel. Read on to learn causes, warning signs, and the step-by-step program that helps our community walk, drive, and sleep without constant tingling or burning.
Numbness & Neuropathy Nerve-Pain Symptoms
- Night-time burning: soles or palms feel on fire once you lie down.
- Glove-or-sock numbness: loss of touch that climbs past the wrist or ankle.
- Pins-and-needles surges: sudden electric buzz after sitting or driving.
- Balance wobbles: ankles roll or toes drag on flat ground.
- Temperature guesswork: you can’t tell hot pavement from cool tile.
- Weak grip or drop events: coffee cup slips or keys fall without warning.
- Restless cramps: calf or hand locks tight, forcing you to stretch or pace.
If one or more symptoms ring true, your nerves may be crying out for help.
Common Causes & Risk Factors for Neuropathy
- Spinal misalignments (subluxations) – Shifted vertebrae press on nerve roots, sending faulty signals to hands or feet.
- Disc wear or small bulges – Even a mild disc change can crowd the nerve tunnel and spark tingling down an arm or leg.
- Forward-head posture – Hours at a laptop stretch neck nerves, leading to thumb or forearm numbness.
- Pelvic imbalance after hip or knee strain – Uneven weight loads the sciatic nerve and create burning in the calf or sole.
- Old ankle, wrist, or elbow sprains – Scar tissue traps peripheral nerves, producing glove- or sock-like numbness.
- Chronic inflammation from poor movement patterns – Tight muscles choke tiny blood vessels, starving nerves of oxygen.
Why Early Care Matters
Dr. Bergtold explains that irritated nerves first tingle, then turn numb, and can eventually lose function entirely. Gentle spinal corrections, laser therapy, and SoftWave treatments used early can calm inflammation, restore circulation, and help nerves recover sensation before damage becomes permanent.
How Chiropractic and In-Office Therapies Help
- Specific Adjustments – free stiff spinal and extremity joints, reducing nerve pressure.
- MLS® Cold Laser – transcript-confirmed laser that increases blood flow and speeds tissue repair.
- SoftWave (PISA wave) – acoustic pulses that remodel soft tissue and enhance local circulation.
- Neuropathy Treatment Protocol – clinic-described program combining the above therapies into a step-by-step plan.
Patients often report warmer feet or steadier balance within several visits as swelling drops and nerve signals normalize.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can numbness really improve?
Yes—if nerve fibers are still alive, increased blood flow and decreased pressure can revive them. - How long before I notice a change?
Some patients feel a warm, buzzing sensation on the first laser session; deeper numbness may take a few weeks. - Is treatment painful?
No. Adjustments are gentle, and laser therapy produces only mild warmth. - Will insurance cover this?
Exams and chiropractic care are often covered. Laser and nerve-builder sessions may be self-pay; package discounts are available. - Do I need a referral?
Usually not. We coordinate with your medical doctor if lab work or imaging is needed.
