Neuropathy Treatment

Neuropathy Treatment in Blue Springs and Kansas City

Living with burning, numbness or tingling in your hands and feet wears you down, and untreated nerve pain often gets worse. Core Medical Center provides physician-led neuropathy treatment that starts by finding the cause, then pairs pain control with nerve-focused therapy. We see patients from Blue Springs and across the Greater Kansas City metro, minutes from Saint Luke’s East Hospital.

In short: neuropathy treatment is a physician-directed plan that diagnoses why your nerves are firing wrong, then uses targeted pain management, diagnostic testing and therapy to calm symptoms and protect function, all under one roof.

What Neuropathy Treatment Is

Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage that disrupts the signals between your body and your brain, which is why it shows up as burning, numbness, tingling or weakness. Our treatment is not a single pill. It is a coordinated plan that works to:

• Identify the underlying driver of your nerve symptoms
• Reduce pain and the electric, shooting sensations that interrupt sleep and daily life
• Protect strength, balance and sensation in the hands and feet
• Keep you active and lower the risk of falls and further injury

Because our medical, pain management and therapy teams share one building in Blue Springs, your diagnosis and your treatment stay connected from the first visit.

Who Neuropathy Treatment Helps

Neuropathy has many causes, and care should match the cause. We help patients whose nerve symptoms stem from a range of sources, including:

• Diabetes and metabolic conditions
• Pinched or compressed nerves linked to a herniated disc or sciatica
• Work injuries and repetitive strain, including federal cases handled through our OWCP doctor service line
• Chemotherapy, post-surgical nerve irritation and unexplained numbness or tingling

If you are not sure what is causing your symptoms, that is exactly what the first visit is for.

How Treatment Works at Core Medical Center

We move from finding the problem to treating it, in clear steps:

1. Evaluation. A provider reviews your history and examines the affected nerves, reflexes and sensation.
2. Diagnostic testing. We use advanced diagnostic testing to pinpoint where and why the nerves are affected, so the plan targets the real source.
3. A combined plan. Depending on findings, we layer in pain management, medical care and nerve-focused therapy to reduce symptoms and rebuild function.
4. Follow-through. We track your response and adjust, coordinating across our teams so nothing falls through the gaps.

Conditions and Symptoms We Treat

We commonly evaluate and treat peripheral neuropathy presenting as numbness, tingling, burning and shooting pain in the feet, legs, hands and arms, along with the weakness and balance problems that come with it. When nerve symptoms overlap with back or leg pain, we look at the whole picture, including disc and nerve-root involvement, so the plan addresses the cause rather than chasing one symptom.

Why Core Medical Center for Neuropathy

Your care is physician-directed. Dr. Paul Doskey, MD, is a board-certified anesthesiologist focused on pain management, and he works alongside our medical and therapy providers, including Kristina Mitchell, DNP, FNP-C, on the medical and functional side of nerve-related care. Because we are an integrated medical clinic and a pain control clinic in one building, you are not bounced between offices to assemble a plan.

What that means for you:

• One coordinated team for diagnosis, pain control and therapy
• Care for complex and overlapping causes, not a one-size-fits-all script
• A focus on function, so you can stand, walk and work with less pain

What to Expect

Your first visit is an evaluation, not a rushed handoff. Bring a list of your symptoms, any imaging or test results you already have, and your insurance information so our front desk can guide you. From there, your provider will explain what is driving your symptoms and the options that fit your situation.

Same-week appointments are typically available at our Blue Springs location. If burning, numbness or tingling is getting in the way of your day, book an evaluation and let our team build the plan around you.
