Neuropathy Treatment in White Bear Lake, Minnesota
Living with neuropathy means dealing with pain, numbness, and uncertainty about whether relief is even possible.

Our comprehensive pain management approach combines advanced therapeutic techniques with patient education to help you understand what's happening in your body and why traditional methods often fall short.

Schedule your comprehensive neuropathy evaluation today to discover why so many White Bear Lake residents are finally finding lasting relief.
Understanding Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy affects over 20 million Americans, yet most people suffering from tingling, burning, and numbness in their hands and feet have been told there's nothing that can be done. This couldn't be further from the truth. Neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves that send signals between your brain, spinal cord, and the rest of your body become damaged or dysfunctional. This damage disrupts normal communication, leading to pain signals that won't stop or loss of sensation that puts you at risk for injuries you can't feel.
The underlying mechanisms vary, but common culprits include poor circulation depriving nerves of oxygen and nutrients, inflammation compressing nerve pathways, metabolic issues like uncontrolled blood sugar damaging nerve fibers, and direct trauma from injuries or repetitive stress. What makes neuropathy particularly frustrating is that conventional medicine often focuses solely on symptom management through medications rather than addressing why your nerves aren't functioning properly in the first place.
At North Star Medical, we reject the idea that you should just accept declining nerve function as inevitable. Our medication-free, non-invasive approach targets the actual causes of nerve dysfunction, working to restore proper circulation, reduce inflammation, and support nerve regeneration. Contact us today to learn how our comprehensive pain management protocols can help you reclaim the activities neuropathy has stolen from you.
Common Causes
of Neuropathy
Diabetic Complications
Elevated blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels that supply nerves with oxygen and nutrients, leading to progressive nerve dysfunction that typically starts in the feet and hands.
Physical Trauma
Accidents, falls, or repetitive stress injuries can directly damage nerve fibers or create compression that disrupts normal nerve signaling and blood flow.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Inadequate levels of B vitamins, particularly B12, prevent nerves from maintaining their protective coating and functioning properly, leading to gradual deterioration.
Autoimmune Disorders
Conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue can target the peripheral nervous system, causing inflammation and progressive nerve damage.
Medication Side Effects
Certain chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, and other medications can have toxic effects on nerve tissue, resulting in temporary or permanent neuropathy symptoms.
Common Symptoms
of Neuropathy
Symptoms can vary in type and severity. Some of the symptoms that benefit from an evaluation at North Star Medical include:
How We Effectively Treat Neuropathy in White Bear Lake
Our approach to peripheral neuropathy treatment combines multiple therapeutic modalities to address both symptoms and underlying causes. Each treatment plan is customized based on your specific type of neuropathy, severity of symptoms, and overall health goals.

Expert Care for Neuropathy in the White Bear Lake Area
White Bear Lake residents lead active lifestyles that include walking the trails around White Bear Lake itself, boating, fishing, and participating in community events throughout the year. Unfortunately, neuropathy threatens your ability to enjoy these activities. The numbness in your feet makes hiking trails dangerous, while burning pain can turn a pleasant evening stroll into an ordeal. Many locals who work at nearby 3M facilities or commute to St. Paul spend long hours sitting, which can compound circulation issues that worsen neuropathy symptoms.
We understand how Minnesota winters create additional challenges for neuropathy sufferers. Cold temperatures intensify pain and numbness, making it difficult to stay active during the months when movement matters most for maintaining nerve health. Our holistic approach doesn't just chase temporary symptom relief. We focus on durable recovery that allows you to reclaim your quality of life regardless of the season, helping you stay connected to the outdoor activities and community engagement that make White Bear Lake special.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Neuropathy
Can dead nerves be regenerated?
In many cases, yes. Peripheral nerves have the ability to heal if the underlying toxicity (high sugar/inflammation) is removed and blood flow is restored. While completely "dead" tissue is difficult to revive, most patients have "dormant" or damaged nerves that can be significantly improved.
Is walking good for Neuropathy?
Yes, but with caution. Walking improves blood flow which is vital for nerve health. However, you must wear supportive footwear and check your feet daily for blisters or injuries that you might not feel due to the numbness.
Does insurance cover Neuropathy treatment in White Bear Lake?
Most medical evaluations, blood work, and standard therapies (like decompression or exams) are covered by insurance. Specialized regenerative procedures or weight loss medications may vary by plan, and our staff will provide a clear benefits check prior to starting care.
Why does my nerve pain get worse at night?
This is a common complaint known as "nocturnal neuropathy." At night, your body temperature drops and there are fewer distractions for your brain, making the pain signals feel more intense. Treating the root cause is the only way to stop these sleep-disrupting symptoms.
How is this different from seeing a Podiatrist?
While podiatrists are excellent for foot structure, our approach is "whole-body" medical. We look at the spine, the metabolism, and the blood chemistry to treat the systemic cause of the neuropathy, rather than just treating the foot in isolation.
