Hope Begins Here: Conservative and Effective Neuropathy Relief at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic

A Conservative, Science-Backed Approach at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic

Peripheral neuropathy affects millions of people and can feel like a life sentence—burning, numbness, tingling, weakness, or stabbing pain in the hands, feet, legs, or arms. But at Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic in Winston-Salem, NC, there is hope.

Dr. John Stoetzel, who holds a Board Certification in Neurology in addition to his Doctor of Chiropractic degree, offers a comprehensive, drug-free approach to neuropathy relief—combining the power of:

  • Chiropractic Care

  • SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology

  • Class IV Laser Therapy

  • Stimpod Neurostimulator Therapy

Together, these therapies work to restore nerve function, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help patients regain their balance, independence, and quality of life.

Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy occurs when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or dysfunctional. Common causes include:

  • Diabetes or metabolic syndrome

  • Chemotherapy

  • Nerve compression or radiculopathy

  • Chronic inflammation

  • Injury or surgery

  • Toxic exposure

  • Circulatory disorders

  • Autoimmune disease

Symptoms often include:

  • Burning or tingling

  • Numbness or reduced sensation

  • Sharp or shooting pain

  • Loss of coordination or balance

  • Muscle weakness

  • Sensitivity to touch or temperature

Many are told that “nothing can be done” except medications or pain creams—but that’s not the full story.

Our Integrative Approach to Neuropathy Relief

At Stoetzel Chiropractic Clinic, we use a multimodal strategy that addresses the root causes of neuropathy while stimulating your body’s own healing mechanisms.

1. Chiropractic Care: Restore the Nervous System

Chiropractic adjustments—especially when guided by a neurologically trained doctor like Dr. Stoetzel—are designed to:

  • Reduce pressure on nerve roots exiting the spine

  • Improve nervous system signaling from the brain to the body

  • Increase spinal mobility and enhance proprioception and balance

  • Reduce inflammation around spinal structures that may contribute to peripheral nerve irritation

When the central nervous system functions better, the peripheral nervous system (arms, legs, feet, hands) benefits too.

2. SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology

SoftWave Therapy uses electrohydraulic acoustic waves to penetrate deep into tissues, triggering a cascade of regenerative healing effects, including:

  • VEGF and eNOS Expression – Enhances neoangiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels) for better nerve oxygenation

  • Stem Cell Activation and Migration – Stimulates repair of damaged nerve cells and tissues

  • Toll-Like Receptor Modulation – Calms systemic and local inflammatory pathways

  • PCNA Expression – Boosts cellular repair and regeneration

  • Flushing out senescent cells – Removes non-functioning cells that block recovery

SoftWave has been a game-changer for neuropathy, helping patients recover feeling, reduce pain, and walk again without fear.

3. Class IV Laser Therapy

Class IV Laser Therapy penetrates tissue to stimulate photobiomodulation—a process where light energy triggers healing at the cellular level. Benefits include:

  • Increased ATP (cellular energy) production

  • Enhanced nerve and tissue regeneration

  • Improved microcirculation and blood flow

  • Decreased inflammation and oxidative stress

  • Pain relief without drugs or injections

This therapy is particularly effective in rejuvenating damaged nerves and speeding up healing in soft tissues affected by neuropathy.

4. Stimpod Neuromodulation Therapy

Stimpod Therapy delivers non-invasive pulsed radio frequency stimulation to promote nerve healing and reduce chronic pain. It works by:

  • Resetting nerve signaling patterns and reducing hypersensitivity

  • Stimulating peripheral nerve regeneration

  • Enhancing neuroplasticity and restoring natural nerve function

  • Supporting sensory reeducation and improving balance

Stimpod is especially useful for nerve entrapment syndromes, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and long-standing diabetic neuropathy.

Patients Are Finding Relief—Without Injections, Surgeries, or Dependence on Drugs

Dr. Stoetzel’s neuropathy protocol is changing lives. His patients are:

  • Walking more confidently

  • Regaining sensation in feet and hands

  • Reducing or eliminating pain medications

  • Improving their stability, strength, and coordination

  • Experiencing hope again for a better quality of life

And all of this is done through non-invasive, natural, and scientifically supported care.
