Neuropathy Specialist in Houston and Beaumont, TX
Get Help for Nerve Pain and Peripheral Neuropathy
At Spine Associates, we offer expert care for neuropathy and nerve pain in Houston and Beaumont, Texas. If you’re experiencing symptoms like burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness in your arms, legs, hands, or feet, you may be dealing with peripheral neuropathy. This condition is often caused by damage or compression to the nerves branching out from the spine. Our team of board-certified spine specialists is trained to accurately diagnose the source of your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan focused on long-term relief and nerve function recovery.
What Is Neuropathy and What Causes It?
Neuropathy is a condition involving damage to the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for sending signals between the spinal cord and the rest of the body. When these nerves are damaged or compressed, it can lead to pain, sensory changes, and motor dysfunction. Spinal conditions such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve root compression are often the root cause. Other factors such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, infections, chemotherapy, and traumatic injury may also contribute to nerve damage. At Spine Associates, we take a comprehensive look at each patient’s symptoms and health history to determine whether the spine is contributing to their neuropathy.
Symptoms of Neuropathy You Shouldn’t Ignore
Patients with neuropathy frequently describe sensations such as tingling or pins and needles, a burning or electric-shock-like pain, and numbness in the extremities. Muscle weakness, loss of balance or coordination, and heightened sensitivity to touch are also common. In many cases, the pain worsens at night or becomes more noticeable during periods of rest. If these symptoms are interfering with your daily activities or mobility, a spine-focused evaluation can help determine the cause and prevent further nerve damage.
How We Diagnose Nerve Pain and Neuropathy
Accurate diagnosis is essential when treating neuropathy, especially when the spine may be involved. Diagnostic imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, may be used to check for disc herniation or spinal narrowing. Nerve conduction studies (EMG/NCV) help evaluate how well your nerves are functioning. In some cases, we also order lab work to screen for underlying metabolic or autoimmune conditions that could be contributing to nerve damage. This thorough process allows us to pinpoint the exact cause of your neuropathy and build a treatment plan that works.
Neuropathy Treatment Options in Houston and Beaumont
Treatment for neuropathy at Spine Associates is based on the severity and cause of your symptoms. If a spinal condition causes your neuropathy, we may recommend non-surgical treatments first, including anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, nerve-specific pain medications, and spinal injections to reduce inflammation around affected nerves. We also work with patients to manage contributing conditions like diabetes or nutritional deficiencies. For cases where nerve compression is severe or persistent, surgical options such as a minimally invasive decompression or discectomy may be recommended to relieve pressure on the nerves and restore function. Every treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s unique needs and goals.
When to See a Spine Specialist for Neuropathy
If you’ve been living with ongoing numbness, burning, or shooting back pain, and your symptoms are not improving with standard treatments, it may be time to see a neuropathy specialist. Delaying care can lead to permanent nerve damage and a decline in mobility. A spine specialist can help determine whether spinal nerve compression is the cause and offer solutions that provide long-term relief.
