Peripheral neuropathy... New diagnostic procedure can help us treat you!

Do you or your loved one suffer from burning, numbness or tingling sensations in your feet?  This condition is often associated with diabetes, thyroid conditions or vitamin deficiencies. 

We can help! 

There is a new diagnostic procedure, called an epidermal nerve fiber density biopsy, that can help us make a diagnosis of neuropathy.  This biopsy (which is done in the office) gives us insight as to the extent of the nerve damage and can help us make clinical decisions to help alleviate your symptoms.

Call us today to schedule an appointment!
