If you are living with burning, tingling, or numbness in your hands or feet, you do not have to accept it as your new normal. At Simply Well Chiropractic’s Cincinnati SoftWave Therapy clinic, we focus on neuropathy treatment that supports actual nerve healing instead of just masking symptoms with more medications. Whether your neuropathy is diabetic, idiopathic, or chemotherapy‑induced, our goal is to help you walk, sleep, and move with more comfort and confidence again.

Find Relief From Neuropathy

Neuropathy can affect your ability to walk, sleep, work, exercise, and enjoy everyday activities. Some people feel burning pain in their feet at night, while others notice numbness, weakness, or a “pins and needles” sensation in their hands or legs. For many people, the symptoms slowly get worse over time.


If you have been told to just “manage it,” you are not alone. Many traditional approaches focus on symptom control rather than addressing the irritated or damaged nerve tissue itself. Our goal is to offer a different approach that supports your body’s natural healing response.

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy, often called peripheral neuropathy, happens when the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord become damaged or irritated. This can affect how your nerves send signals and lead to symptoms such as:

  • Tingling or “pins and needles” in the hands or feet
  • Burning or stabbing pain
  • Numbness or reduced sensation
  • Muscle weakness
  • Loss of balance or coordination

Neuropathy can be related to diabetes, chemotherapy, injuries, surgery, infections, autoimmune conditions, or may appear without a clear cause. No matter the source, the underlying issue is nerve damage—and effective care must focus on supporting nerve health, not just masking symptoms.

SoftWave Therapy for Neuropathy

SoftWave Therapy: The Science of Nerve Regeneration

SoftWave Therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves delivered through the skin to targeted tissues. These sound waves are designed to stimulate circulation, increase cellular activity, and support the body’s natural repair processes. It is often used as a way to support healthier nerve function and reduce neuropathy-related discomfort over time.

How SoftWave Therapy Supports Nerve Healing

SoftWave Therapy is worth exploring if you have burning feet, tingling hands, numbness, nerve pain, or neuropathy symptoms that have not improved with other approaches. It may also be helpful if you want to avoid surgery or reduce reliance on pain medication.

During treatment, a handheld applicator glides over the area of concern while the device sends controlled pulses of acoustic energy into the affected region. Many patients feel brief, pinpoint sensations where nerves are most irritated; these “signaling spots” help guide treatment.

It is important to remember that results vary. Neuropathy can have multiple causes, and no single treatment works for everyone. A proper evaluation helps determine whether SoftWave is appropriate for your situation.

  • Stimulates Stem Cell Activation — The acoustic waves activate dormant stem cells and growth factors (BDNF and VEGF) in the damaged nerve tissue, triggering the body’s natural healing cascade.
  • Reduces Chronic Inflammation — SoftWave modulates inflammatory cytokines, calming the inflammatory response that perpetuates nerve pain and damage.
  • Interrupts the Pain Cycle — By restoring tissue health and nerve function, SoftWave helps break the cycle of chronic pain, allowing natural movement and comfort to return.
  • Improves Blood Circulation — Enhanced blood flow delivers oxygen and vital nutrients to nerves that have been starved of proper circulation—a major cause of diabetic and ischemic neuropathy.
  • Promotes Nerve Regeneration — Research shows that SoftWave therapy encourages axonal regeneration and remyelination—literally rebuilding the protective coating around damaged nerves.
  • The Result: Instead of just managing pain, you’re actually healing the nerve.

Types of Neuropathy We Treat in Cincinnati

Understanding Your Neuropathy: Type, Cause, and Treatment

Neuropathy is not one single condition; it is a family of nerve problems with different causes and patterns. Understanding the type of neuropathy you have helps us build a more precise, effective plan around SoftWave Therapy and lifestyle support.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

High blood sugar can damage nerves and small blood vessels over time, especially in the feet and lower legs. This often leads to burning, numbness, and reduced sensation.

Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy

Sometimes no clear cause is identified. Even when the cause is unknown, the symptoms can still significantly affect comfort and quality of life.

Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)

Some cancer treatments can irritate or injure nerves, leading to pain, tingling, or weakness in the hands and feet. These symptoms may continue even after treatment ends.

Autoimmune-Related Neuropathy

Inflammation from autoimmune conditions can affect nerve tissue and lead to progressive changes in sensation, strength, or balance.

Post-Surgical or Traumatic Neuropathy

Injuries, falls, or surgical procedures can stretch, compress, or damage nerves. This may lead to persistent pain, numbness, or altered sensation near the affected area.

What Makes Our Approach Different

Standard neuropathy care often focuses on symptom control rather than true nerve repair. Many patients who find us have already “tried everything,” including:

  • Prescription medications that dull nerve pain but carry side effects
  • Topical creams and patches with short‑lived relief
  • Physical therapy that helps mobility but may not fully address nerve health
  • Injections or surgeries that come with downtime and risk
  • “Miracle” gadgets or supplements that overpromise and underdeliver

These tools can be helpful, but by themselves they usually do not create a strong regenerative environment around damaged nerves. That is where a regenerative modality like SoftWave Therapy can give your body additional support.

Clinically Proven Results for Neuropathy

SoftWave Therapy isn’t experimental—it’s backed by peer-reviewed research and decades of clinical success:

  • 72% reduction in pain scores (Visual Analog Scale) in published randomized controlled trials
  • 91% patient satisfaction rate in clinical outcomes studies
  • 65–91% improvement in musculoskeletal and general pain complaints
  • Sustained improvements at 6-month and 12-month follow-ups
  • 67% of patients reduced or eliminated pain medication use

Studies by leading researchers (Lohse-Busch, Chen, Notarnicola, and others) demonstrate that SoftWave therapy could be effective for:

  • Diabetic peripheral neuropathy
  • Neuropathy from chemotherapy
  • Traumatic nerve injuries
  • Nerve entrapment conditions
  • Age-related neuropathy

The healing response doesn’t stop after treatment ends—clinical evidence shows stem cell activation and tissue repair can continue for up to 12 months after your final session.

  • I have been very impressed. I’ve had 4 out of 5 treatments so far, and I go weekly. My neuropathy started in the right root with two toes and progressed to the bottom of my feet. Two years later, my other foot began with the same two toes. After three years of acupuncture and many oral supplements, I was only able to make slight progress. SoftWave has brought back about 40% of the feeling. I plan to continue treatment because I’ve had such success in such a short time.

  • I feel great. This whacker machine as I call it has made a vast difference because I feel so much better after I come out from a session. Clearly, it’s the only thing you should try. You can try the rest of the protocols but this one, in my case, was most effective.” After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and chemo-induced neuropathy, Tom battled through treatments and discovered SoftWave Therapy which brought him the greatest relief in pain.

  • I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer three years ago and have undergone 14 rounds of chemotherapy. The chemo pills caused very painful neuropathy. Some days I couldn’t even hold a pencil or brush my hair. My feet hurt so badly that I almost needed a wheelchair.
    Today I was lucky enough to have SoftWave shockwave therapy on my feet and hands. Before treatment, my pain was about an 8 or 9 out of 10—really horrible pain. Right now, after my first session, I can bend my hands, I can walk, and the redness in my feet has calmed down. My pain is now around a 2 or 3.
    I am so grateful for this SoftWave treatment.

Brad’s Neuropathy Success with SoftWave Therapy

When I first came to Simply Well Chiropractic, I could barely walk without a walker. Even with the walker, I struggled with balance, and simple exercises like leg raises and squats were a challenge. I was afraid of falling and could only walk on very hard surfaces like asphalt or sidewalks—and even that scared me.


In about two months, everything changed. I recently played 18 holes of golf. My balance is back, and I can walk on all kinds of surfaces without feeling like I’m going to fall. I can get on a treadmill or elliptical, use machines at the gym, and move with confidence again.


I’m 66 years old, and I honestly didn’t expect SoftWave Therapy to work this well. Before I started, I was down and depressed, wondering if I would ever feel like a “normal guy” again. Now my confidence is back. I smile more. I laugh more. I can be there for my wife and the people I love.


SoftWave Therapy has given me my life back. My hope is restored, and I want other people who are struggling to know that there’s a way forward.

  2. Neurologic and movement assessment – We check sensation, reflexes, balance, and basic foot and gait mechanics to identify high‑risk areas and functional limitations.
  3. SoftWave test treatment – You receive an initial SoftWave session over the most symptomatic area so you can experience how it feels and see whether your nerves respond during and immediately after treatment.
  4. Personalized plan and education – We outline the recommended frequency of SoftWave sessions, home strategies to protect your feet and nerves, and how we will coordinate with your primary care physician, neurologist, or oncologist.

If SoftWave Therapy is not appropriate for your situation, we will tell you that honestly and help you understand other options or referrals in the Cincinnati area.

Neuropathy FAQ

Neuropathy, also called peripheral neuropathy, happens when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord become damaged or irritated. This can cause symptoms like burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the hands and feet.

Neuropathy can be caused by diabetes, chemotherapy, injury, surgery, autoimmune conditions, infections, or sometimes no clear cause at all. Because the cause can vary, treatment should be tailored to the person and their symptoms.

SoftWave Therapy may help support neuropathy care by improving circulation, stimulating the body’s natural healing response, and reducing pain and discomfort. Results vary depending on the cause, severity, and duration of symptoms.

Most neuropathy patients don’t feel the same sensations as other patients. Our neuropathy patients at Simply Well Chiropractic in Cincinnati do not feel anything in the beginning, and then after a set of treatments will feel a faint sensation as the treatment applicator goes over affected tissue. When patients get to this point, they are beginning to feel sensations in their hands and feet, whether it be walking on carpet or holding someone’s hand.

The number of sessions depends on your symptoms, how long you have had neuropathy, and how your body responds to treatment. Some people notice changes within a few visits, while others may need a longer care plan.

SoftWave Therapy is non-invasive and does not involve surgery or needles. During your consultation, we will review your health history to determine whether it is appropriate for you.

No. SoftWave Therapy is designed to complement, not replace, care from your medical doctor, neurologist, or other specialists. If needed, we can coordinate with your healthcare team.

We commonly see diabetic peripheral neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, idiopathic neuropathy, autoimmune-related neuropathy, and post-surgical or traumatic neuropathy. Each case is evaluated individually.
