“I thought I’d just have to live with it”
Ken came to Charleston Pain Relief Center after years of diabetic neuropathy in both feet. Burning at night. Numbness during the day. Three different doctors, two prescriptions, zero progress.
Ken documented his journey through our SoftWave TRT + Fast Acting Laser protocol. By visit 8, the burning was gone. By visit 14, he was sleeping through the night. His diabetic neuropathy didn’t have to be permanent — and yours probably doesn’t either.
Take the quiz →See the real cause of your neuropathy — before treatment
Most neuropathy treatments guess. We don’t. Every patient starts with a thermography scan that maps blood flow in your feet — showing exactly where nerves are starving for circulation.
- Accurate results — heat-pattern imaging shows nerve damage zones with zero radiation
- Identifies issues early — catch neuropathy before it becomes permanent
- Personalized care — your scan drives your custom treatment plan
First time hearing about neuropathy thermography?
Our dedicated thermography page walks through how the 60-second scan reveals nerve damage that gabapentin and other medications can't show — and why we use it before designing your neuropathy treatment.

Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. These nerves control sensation and movement in your feet, legs, hands, and arms. When they’re damaged, patients experience burning feet, sharp stabbing pain, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, loss of balance, and weakness. Neuropathy affects more than 20 million Americans and is chronically undertreated.
Common causes we see at our North Charleston clinic
- Diabetes — the #1 cause of peripheral neuropathy in the US
- Chemotherapy — chemo-induced neuropathy (CIPN) affects up to 68% of cancer patients
- Autoimmune disease — lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Nerve compression or injury — trauma, repetitive stress, herniated discs
- Vitamin deficiency — B12, B6, and folate deficiency
- Idiopathic — no identifiable cause (affects ~30% of neuropathy patients)
Our two-therapy neuropathy protocol: SoftWave TRT + Fast Acting Laser
Most conventional neuropathy treatments — gabapentin, Lyrica, B12 supplements, physical therapy — manage symptoms at best. They do not regenerate damaged nerves. Our two-therapy protocol addresses the actual structural damage causing your pain.
SoftWave TRT — Tissue Regeneration at the Cellular Level
SoftWave TRT (Tissue Regeneration Therapy) uses patented unfocused extracorporeal shockwave technology cleared by the FDA. Unlike steroid injections or pain medications that mask symptoms, SoftWave works at the source — recruiting the body’s own stem cells to the site of nerve damage, restoring blood flow, and triggering natural nerve regeneration.
Typical SoftWave results for neuropathy patients in North Charleston and surrounding areas:
- Noticeable reduction in burning and tingling within 2-3 sessions
- Improved balance and coordination as nerve signaling restores
- Long-term relief that continues improving for weeks after treatment ends
- No downtime, no injections, no surgery
Fast Acting Laser Therapy — Accelerating Nerve Repair
Our Fast Acting Laser Therapy delivers targeted photobiomodulation directly to damaged nerve tissue, accelerating the cellular energy production (ATP) that fuels repair. When combined with SoftWave TRT, our patients achieve results 40-60% faster than with either treatment alone. Patients from Goose Creek, Hanahan, Ladson, and Summerville regularly drive to our North Charleston clinic specifically for this combined protocol — it’s not available everywhere.
Why 92% of our neuropathy patients report lasting relief
- Stem cell recruitment — SoftWave signals the body to send its own repair cells to nerve damage sites
- Restored circulation — both therapies increase blood flow to oxygen-deprived nerve tissue
- Myelin regeneration — laser therapy accelerates repair of the protective sheath around nerve fibers
- No systemic side effects — unlike medications, our treatments work locally with no drug interactions
- Cumulative results — each session builds on the last; improvement continues even after treatment concludes

Common questions about neuropathy treatment
Can SoftWave TRT actually repair nerve damage?
Yes — SoftWave TRT uses FDA-cleared extracorporeal shockwave technology that recruits your body’s own stem cells to damaged nerve sites, restores blood flow to oxygen-deprived nerve tissue, and triggers natural nerve regeneration. Patients see noticeable improvement in burning and tingling within 2-3 sessions.
How many neuropathy treatment sessions will I need?
Most patients see meaningful improvement in 6-12 sessions. The exact number depends on neuropathy severity, duration, and underlying cause. We map your treatment plan during your free consultation so you know the visit count and total cost upfront.
Is neuropathy treatment covered by insurance in South Carolina?
Insurance coverage varies. SoftWave and Fast Acting Laser are typically not covered as they are considered advanced therapies, but we accept HSA/FSA cards and CareCredit. We verify your insurance during your free consultation and offer payment plans.
What types of neuropathy do you treat?
Diabetic neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy (CIPN), autoimmune neuropathies, post-surgical nerve pain, idiopathic neuropathy, and neuropathy from nerve compression or B12 deficiency.
Is the treatment painful?
No. SoftWave TRT feels like a strong pulsing sensation but is not painful. Laser therapy produces a warm, soothing sensation. Sessions last 15-30 minutes with no recovery time.
