Welcome to the Orlando Neuropathy Project!

Welcome to the home of the Orlando Neuropathy Project. We have just redesigned and rebuilt this website, so we invite you to look around and let us know what you think.
If you are one of the many thousands of sufferers of Neuropathy, you know all to well that numbness and tingling is still a pain to deal with. Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition that is characterized by altered sensation or a change in motor control of a body part. The nerve becomes irritated or damaged and it no longer conducts the messages it should.
When the nerve is damaged, it shows up as burning sensations, numbness, pins and needles, a crawling sensation on the skin, and it may also manifest itself as weakness in a muscle and a lack of ones ability to voluntarily control that area. This lack of innervation can also cause wasting of muscle and poor healing of the tissues affected.
Generally, the early warning signs of neuropathy are shooting pains, burning and numbness. If your neuropathy is left untreated, it will begin to affect your quality of life. For example, if your neuropathy causes you to lose feeling in your feet, it would be very difficult to operate the pedals of a car or vehicle, or if you have a burning sensation in your legs and feet it may affect your sleep patterns, or if you lose sensitivity in the tips of your fingers, it is more difficult to carry out normal daily tasks.
Typically, those that let the neuropathy go for this long become sedentary as movement causes pain or induces fear as they tend to fall often as they cannot feel the ground.
But, there is hope. The Orlando Neuropathy Project has helped to reverse this process and get our patients lives back. Most patients start to see relief in as little as 2 - 4 weeks. While every case and patient are different, when the patient follows the recommended treatment plan given by our doctors, about 90% of patients see about 90% improvement by the fourth month of treatments. At that point, many have reversed the symptoms completely.
The program is generally 5-8 weeks in office treatments followed by a home care regimen.
