At DOC Pain in Dayton, we specialize in diagnosing and treating neuropathy to help you regain control of your health.

What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy, or nerve damage, can result from various conditions, including diabetes, chemotherapy, infections, or injury. It affects the peripheral nervous system, which connects the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Symptoms may include:
• Chronic pain
• Tingling or burning sensations
• Muscle weakness
• Loss of coordination
If left untreated, neuropathy can lead to severe complications, making early diagnosis and treatment essential.

At DOC Pain, our team of neuropathy specialists in Dayton is dedicated to offering compassionate care and effective solutions. We understand that every patient is different, so we develop personalized treatment plans to address the root cause of your symptoms.
Treatment Options We Offer
1. Spinal Cord Stimulator (SCS)
A spinal cord stimulator is a minimally invasive device that delivers low-level electrical signals to the spinal cord, disrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. This treatment is ideal for patients with chronic pain that has not responded to other therapies. Benefits include:
• Reduced pain levels
• Improved mobility
• Minimized reliance on medications
Our specialists work closely with you to determine if SCS is the right option for your condition.
2. Lumbar Sympathetic Blocks
A lumbar sympathetic block is an injection of steroid medication and local anesthetic into or around your sympathetic nerves to help relieve lower back or leg pain. These nerves are located on both sides of your spine in your lower back. This treatment is particularly effective for managing pain associated with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), peripheral neuropathy, or other chronic pain conditions.
Benefits of lumbar sympathetic blocks include:
• Targeted pain relief
• Improved blood flow to the affected area
• Enhanced mobility and functionality
Our team at DOC Pain ensures that this procedure is performed with precision and care to provide maximum relief and comfort.
3. Medications
Medications can play a vital role in managing neuropathy symptoms. We carefully select treatments based on your specific needs, which may include:
• Pain relievers
• Anti-seizure medications
• Antidepressants to target nerve pain
• Topical treatments such as creams or patches
Our goal is to provide relief while minimizing side effects and risks.
In addition to to these treatments, we believe in holistic pain management strategies, including:
• Physical therapy to improve strength and coordination
• Lifestyle modifications to manage underlying conditions
• Nutritional counseling to support nerve health
