Numbness, tingling, burning, sharp pain, weakness, or balance problems can make everyday life feel frustrating. For many people, neuropathy symptoms show up first in the feet, toes, legs, hands, or fingers. Over time, these symptoms can begin to affect walking, sleep, exercise, work, and overall quality of life.
At Connection Chiropractic in Minnetonka, we help patients with neuropathy symptoms by taking a whole-body, nerve-focused approach. Our goal is to identify what may be contributing to your nerve irritation, support better nerve function, improve mobility, and help you feel more confident in your daily life.
We now offer StimPod therapy, an advanced non-invasive treatment that uses transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency, also known as tPRF, to support patients dealing with nerve-related pain and neuropathy symptoms
Neuropathy symptoms can vary from person to person. Some patients describe mild tingling, while others experience constant burning, pain, or difficulty feeling the ground beneath their feet.
Common symptoms may include:
If these symptoms are interfering with your sleep, balance, walking, or daily activities, it may be time to have a more thorough evaluation.
What Causes Neuropathy?
Neuropathy can happen when nerves become damaged, irritated, compressed, or are not functioning properly. Because the nervous system is complex, there is often more than one contributing factor.
Common causes and contributors may include:
Diabetes or blood sugar imbalance
Peripheral neuropathy
Pinched nerves
Sciatica or radiculopathy
Disc injuries
Spinal degeneration
Poor circulation
Chronic inflammation
Nutritional deficiencies
Auto injuries or trauma
Repetitive stress
Medication side effects
Nerve compression in the spine, hips, legs, arms, or feet
Because neuropathy symptoms can come from different sources, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. The first step is understanding your symptoms, health history, and potential contributing factors.
A New Option for Neuropathy: StimPod Therapy
Connection Chiropractic now offers StimPod therapy as part of our neuropathy treatment options.
StimPod is a non-invasive, drug-free technology that uses a specialized form of nerve stimulation called transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency, or tPRF. During treatment, a handheld probe is applied to the skin over targeted nerve pathways. Patients typically feel a mild tapping, tingling, or pulsing sensation during the session.
The goal of StimPod therapy is to help calm irritated nerves, support healthier nerve signaling, and provide relief for nerve-related discomfort. For many patients, this can be a valuable addition to a broader neuropathy care plan.
How StimPod Is Different From Traditional TENS
Many people are familiar with TENS units, which are commonly used to temporarily block pain signals. StimPod is different because it combines nerve stimulation with pulsed radiofrequency technology designed to target irritated nerves more directly.
Instead of simply covering up symptoms, StimPod therapy is designed to influence nerve behavior and support improved nerve function over time.
StimPod may be used to support patients dealing with:
Peripheral neuropathy symptoms
Diabetic neuropathy-related nerve pain
Burning or tingling in the feet
Nerve pain in the hands or legs
Sciatica-like symptoms
Radiculopathy
Post-injury nerve irritation
Carpal tunnel-type symptoms
Tarsal tunnel-type symptoms
Chronic nerve-related pain
Not every patient is a candidate, which is why a proper evaluation is important.
What to Expect During a StimPod Session
StimPod treatments are comfortable, non-invasive, and performed in-office.
During a session, we use a handheld probe with conductive gel over specific nerve pathways. You may feel a light tapping, tingling, pulsing, or muscle twitching sensation as the device helps locate and stimulate the targeted nerve.
There are no needles, no surgery, and no downtime. Most patients can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.
Our Neuropathy Treatment Approach
At Connection Chiropractic, we look at neuropathy from multiple angles. Depending on your case, your care plan may include:
StimPod tPRF therapy
Chiropractic care
Spinal and extremity evaluation
Nerve pathway assessment
Mobility and balance support
Soft tissue work

Lifestyle and nutrition recommendations
Functional health considerations when relevant

Is StimPod therapy painful?
Most patients tolerate StimPod therapy very well. You may feel a tapping, tingling, pulsing, or mild twitching sensation during treatment, but it should not feel painful.
Is StimPod the same as a TENS unit?
No. While both involve electrical stimulation, StimPod uses transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency technology designed to target irritated nerve pathways in a more advanced way than traditional TENS.
Can StimPod help neuropathy?
StimPod may be a helpful option for certain patients with nerve-related pain or neuropathy symptoms. The best way to know if you are a candidate is to schedule an evaluation.
How many treatments will I need?
That depends on your symptoms, health history, severity, and how your body responds. After your evaluation, we will recommend a care plan based on your specific situation.
Do you only treat diabetic neuropathy?
No. Neuropathy symptoms can come from diabetes, nerve compression, spinal problems, injuries, inflammation, poor circulation, nutritional issues, or other causes. We evaluate each case individually.
Do I need a referral?
In most cases, you do not need a referral to schedule an appointment at Connection Chiropractic.
