Neuropathy & Nerve Pain Treatment
in Collingwood
Burning, numbness, and tingling from neuropathy can be relentless — and conventional treatments often fall short. BioFlex Low-Level Laser Therapy offers a clinically validated, drug-free approach to nerve regeneration and lasting comfort and optimal health that treats the underlying nerve damage, not just the symptoms.
Why Nerves Don’t Heal on Their Own
How BioFlex Laser Therapy Supports Nerve Regeneration
Peripheral neuropathy — damage or dysfunction of the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord — affects millions of Canadians. Whether caused by diabetes, chemotherapy, compressed spinal roots, post-herpetic inflammation, or idiopathic factors, the nerve damage itself is notoriously difficult to reverse. Conventional medical management typically focuses on symptom control (gabapentin, duloxetine, topical agents) rather than the underlying nerve pathology.
BioFlex Low-Level Laser Therapy represents a different paradigm. Specific near-infrared wavelengths (660nm and 830nm) penetrate to the level of damaged nerve fibres and trigger photobiomodulation — a cascade of cellular changes that includes increased ATP production in Schwann cells (which wrap and protect nerve fibres), reduced neuroinflammation, and direct stimulation of axonal regeneration. Peer-reviewed research has demonstrated improvements in nerve conduction velocity, reduction in neuropathic pain scores, and improved vibration and temperature sensation thresholds.
For neuropathy that originates from spinal nerve root compression — as is common in diabetic patients with concurrent sciatica or herniated disc disease — we often combine BioFlex laser with instrument-assisted adjustments to address both the nerve inflammation and the mechanical compression contributing to symptoms.
Important note: Neuropathy treatment with BioFlex laser is most effective when initiated early. Longer-standing nerve damage can still respond, but results are typically more significant when treatment begins within the first 1–2 years of symptom onset. Don’t wait — early intervention matters significantly in neuropathy outcomes.
Types of Neuropathy We Treat
Neuropathy Conditions We Address
- ✓ Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy — The most common form; affecting feet and hands with burning, numbness, and altered sensation. BioFlex targets the compromised microcirculation and nerve fibre degeneration characteristic of DPN
- ✓ Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy (CIPN) — Post-cancer treatment nerve damage; BioFlex has demonstrated efficacy in several CIPN clinical trials for reducing pain and improving tactile sensitivity
- ✓ Radiculopathy (Pinched Nerve) — Nerve root compression from disc herniation or bone spurs causing radiating pain, numbness, or weakness; treated with combined laser and chiropractic care
- ✓ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome — Median nerve compression at the wrist causing hand numbness and weakness; laser reduces perineural inflammation and supports nerve healing
- ✓ Post-Herpetic Neuralgia — Chronic nerve pain following shingles (herpes zoster) infection; BioFlex reduces ongoing neuroinflammation in the affected dermatome
- ✓ Small Fibre Neuropathy — Affecting the thin unmyelinated nerve fibres responsible for temperature and pain sensation; often idiopathic; BioFlex supports both pain reduction and possible fibre regeneration
- ✓ Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome — Tibial nerve compression at the ankle causing foot and toe numbness; responds well to a combined laser and foot biomechanics approach
Our Neuropathy Treatment Protocol
Effective neuropathy treatment with BioFlex requires precision. Our protocol begins with a detailed neurological assessment to map the distribution, severity, and likely cause of nerve dysfunction. We document baseline sensation, vibration perception, and pain levels to track objective improvement over your treatment course.
BioFlex laser is applied directly over the nerve pathway — from the proximal nerve root to the distal distribution — using wavelength and dosage parameters selected for maximum neural penetration. Treatments are scheduled based on your individual needs, with most patients following a 10–20 session protocol depending on neuropathy severity.
- → Detailed intake and baseline neurological documentation
- → BioFlex laser applied along full nerve distribution pathway
- → Spinal chiropractic care where nerve root involvement is identified
- → Periodic reassessment of sensation thresholds to track progress
- → Coordination with your managing physician or endocrinologist as appropriate
Not just pain management: Unlike medications that only mask neuropathic pain, BioFlex aims to address the nerve damage itself. Many of our patients report not only reduced pain but also improved sensation — pins-and-needles decreasing, temperature discrimination returning, and balance improving as proprioceptive nerve function is restored.
Conditions We Also Treat
Related Conditions We Help With
Sciatica & Nerve Root Pain
Sciatic nerve pain from lumbar disc compression shares mechanisms with peripheral neuropathy. Our combined BioFlex laser and instrument-assisted chiropractic approach addresses both the neural inflammation and the mechanical root cause.

Sports injuries involving burners, stingers, or compressive nerve injuries benefit from the same BioFlex nerve-regeneration protocols used for peripheral neuropathy. Faster nerve healing means faster return to sport.
