Managing Neuropathy, Nerve Pain & Ataxia
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves). This condition frequently causes numbness, tingling, burning pain, and muscle weakness, most commonly in the hands and feet. It can lead to severe balance problems, coordination issues (ataxia), and an increased risk of falls due to lack of sensory feedback from the feet.
Physiotherapy for neuropathy and nerve pain is highly effective at reducing pain, improving sensory awareness, maintaining muscle strength, and enhancing balance and stability.
Our Neuropathy & Ataxia Recovery Programs
Neuromotion provides comprehensive therapy designed to alleviate nerve discomfort and retrain the body's balance systems.
- Sensory Re-education & Stimulation: Using various textures, temperatures, and sensory inputs to help desensitize hypersensitive nerves and retrain the brain to interpret sensory feedback.
- Balance and Proprioception Training: Specialized exercises on unstable surfaces to help the body use visual and vestibular (inner ear) cues to compensate for sensory loss in the feet.
- Strengthening Exercises: Targeted physical routines to prevent muscle atrophy in the extremities affected by nerve damage.
- Low-Impact Aerobic Conditioning: Improving circulation to help deliver essential oxygen and nutrients to damaged nerve endings.
- Pain Management Modalities: Utilizing safe, non-invasive therapeutic modalities to help block nerve pain signals.
