Neuropathy – A Silent Epidemic Affecting Millions

What is Neuropathy?

Peripheral neuropathy happens when nerves are damaged, causing symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, or shooting pain. It usually starts in the hands and feet and can spread, affecting movement, strength, and sensation. Diabetes is the most common cause, but chemotherapy, toxins, autoimmune diseases, pinched nerves, and trauma can also cause it.

Symptoms & Causes

Neuropathy symptoms vary but often include:
✔️ Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or legs
✔️ Burning, sharp, or electric-like pain
✔️ Muscle weakness or difficulty walking
✔️ Sensitivity to touch or temperature changes
✔️ Poor circulation and slow-healing wounds

Common Causes

1. Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can lead to nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy.

2. Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like celiac disease or Sjögren's syndrome can cause nerve inflammation.

3. Infections: Viral or bacterial infections can attack nerve tissues.

4. Physical Trauma: Injuries or repetitive stress can damage nerves.

5. Toxins: Exposure to certain chemicals or excessive alcohol consumption can harm nerves.

Why Most Treatments Fail

Traditional treatments like pain medications, cortisone shots, and even nerve surgeries only

mask the symptoms while the underlying nerve damage continues to progress.

Many patients are told that neuropathy is “permanent” and that there’s no hope for real improvement. But that’s not true - healing can occur!

Herniated Disc – The Hidden Cause of Chronic Pain

What is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc happens when the soft center of a spinal disc pushes out through its outer layer. This can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Left untreated, it may cause chronic pain or permanent nerve damage.

Symptoms & Causes

Disc herniation can cause a variety of debilitating symptoms, including:
✔️ Sharp, stabbing, or radiating pain in the lower back, neck, or legs
✔️ Sciatica – tingling, burning, or numbness that travels down the leg
✔️ Muscle weakness or difficulty standing, walking, or gripping objects
✔️ Stiffness and reduced mobility
✔️ Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or lifting

Common Causes

- Poor posture and prolonged sitting

- Heavy lifting or sudden movements

- Spinal degeneration due to aging

- Trauma or sports injuries

- Repetitive strain on the spine

Why Most Treatments Fail

Traditional approaches like pain medications, cortisone injections, and even back surgery only manage symptoms without addressing the root cause.

Many patients are told that surgery is their only option, yet studies show that spinal surgeries often fail or lead to additional complications over time.

A Letter From The Doctor

I want to share something personal that shaped The Disc Doctor’s mission.

When I was in high school, my father suffered a severe disc herniation. Surgery was his only option, but instead of relief, it left him in constant pain. I watched helplessly as his life was forever changed, and I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I dedicated my life to helping people avoid what my father has endured.

Years later, my father developed neuropathy from long-term blood sugar issues. My father now tells me he can’t feel his hands, and his feet feel like they’re stuck in wax. I watched them go from doctor to doctor, only to be offered medications that masked the symptoms while his condition worsened. I couldn’t stand by and watch it happen again.

That’s why I looked for real solutions—non-surgical, drug-free treatments that restore nerve function instead of just masking pain. At The Disc Doctor, we help people recover from neuropathy, herniated disc pain, and pinched nerves. We see patients regain feeling, balance, and freedom from pain—without drugs or surgery.


If you’re struggling with neuropathy, disc herniation, chronic pain, or nerve damage, know that there is hope.

We’re here to help,

Dr. Matthew T. Jacobs , D.C.
