Our peripheral neuropathy care program is non-drug and non-surgical. It starts with a thorough evaluation and a plain explanation of what we find.
Peripheral neuropathy means the nerves that carry signals between your spinal cord and your feet, legs, hands or arms are not working as they should. People describe it as numbness, pins and needles, burning, or the feeling of walking on something that is not there. Some notice their balance is less steady, especially in the dark.
It has many possible causes. Diabetes is the most common. Others include chemotherapy, certain medications, vitamin deficiencies, alcohol use, thyroid and kidney conditions, and pressure on nerves in the spine. In some people no cause is found.
Because the causes differ, the program does too. After your evaluation, Dr. Tilson explains which parts are appropriate for you. A program may include in-office therapies, a home care routine, nutrition guidance, and chiropractic care where spinal nerve pressure is part of the picture. We list exactly what is included, and the cost, before you agree to anything.
We re-test at set points, including a 90-day re-examination, so you and the doctor can see what has and has not changed.
Sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or numbness that climbs rapidly needs emergency care, not an appointment with us.
Evaluations are offered at both offices. Wheaton patients come from Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream, Winfield and Lombard; Naperville patients from Aurora, Bolingbrook and Plainfield.

There is no known cure, and we do not promise one. The aim of our program is to address nerve-related pain and discomfort in the feet and hands and to support daily function. How much change a person notices varies, which is why we begin with an evaluation and tell you honestly whether we think the program is worth trying.
No. Never change a prescription without talking to the provider who prescribed it. Our program does not involve prescription medication, and it can run alongside your medical care.
The neuropathy program is not covered by Medicare or most insurance plans. Medicare covers only spinal adjustments from a chiropractor. We give you the full cost in writing before you decide, and payment plans are available.
Then we will say so, explain why, and suggest who to see next. Not everyone is a fit for this program.
A list of your medications, any recent lab results, and reports from nerve studies, MRIs or X-rays if you have them. A family member is welcome to come with you.
