Numbness that will not go away, a persistent pins and needles tingling, burning that flares at night, or a strange weakness and unsteadiness in your hands or feet. Neuropathy has a way of unsettling everything, because it touches the very nerves that let you feel and move with confidence. For many Tampa patients, it also comes with the frustration of being told there is little to be done.
At Mast Health, neuropathy is treated by someone who specializes in the nervous system. Dr. Nenos is a board certified chiropractic neurologist, which means he brings a deep understanding of nerve function to a condition that is all about the nerves. Our first job is to understand what type of neuropathy you have and why, then to build a plan that either addresses the mechanical cause or supports your body alongside your medical care. Our approach is drug free, noninvasive, and grounded in how your nervous system actually works.
When your neuropathy stems from a nerve being compressed or entrapped along its path, relieving that pressure can make a real difference. Dr. Nenos works to free the irritated nerve and restore proper motion to the joints crowding it, easing the numbness, tingling, and pain it produces.
Neuropathy has many causes, and the right approach depends entirely on which one is behind your symptoms, from a compressed nerve to a systemic condition. We start with a careful evaluation of your nerve function to understand exactly what we are dealing with and where the problem originates.
When neuropathy is driven by a systemic condition, our role becomes supportive rather than curative, and we coordinate around your physician’s care. We focus on supporting nerve function and easing the physical symptoms so you feel steadier and more comfortable day to day.
Neuropathy is not one condition but many, and being honest about that is the starting point for good care. Some neuropathy comes from a nerve being physically compressed or entrapped somewhere along its path, in the spine, the wrist, the elbow, or elsewhere. That kind of mechanical problem is exactly what chiropractic care is designed to address, by relieving the pressure and restoring healthy motion around the nerve.
Other neuropathy is driven by systemic conditions such as diabetes, and those causes are managed by your physician. In those cases, chiropractic does not cure the neuropathy, and any clinic promising otherwise should be approached with caution. What we can offer is supportive care that helps your nervous system function as well as possible and eases some of the physical toll. Book a visit at our N Dale Mabry clinic so Dr. Nenos can determine which situation applies to you and what care can realistically achieve.

Your peripheral nerves are the wiring that carries signals between your brain and the rest of your body. When those nerves are damaged or irritated, the messages get scrambled, which is why neuropathy so often shows up as numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness, most commonly in the hands and feet. Understanding where along that wiring the problem sits is the key to knowing how to help.
When a nerve is being compressed, the signal is essentially being pinched off, and relieving that pressure can allow it to travel more normally again. This is where chiropractic care is most directly useful, restoring space and motion around an entrapped nerve so it stops being crowded and irritated. For neuropathy tied to a systemic condition, the picture is different, and the goal shifts toward supporting the health and function of the nervous system while your physician manages the underlying disease.
At Mast Health, Dr. Nenos brings a chiropractic neurologist’s perspective to every neuropathy evaluation, carefully testing nerve function to map what is happening and why. That depth of assessment is uncommon in a community clinic, and it is what allows him to tell you honestly whether your neuropathy has a mechanical cause he can address directly or calls for a supportive approach alongside your medical team.
Neuropathy can arise from a pinched nerve, a systemic illness, an injury, or a combination of factors, and identifying the cause shapes everything about care. The contributors we see most often in Tampa include:
A nerve pinched in the spine, wrist, elbow, or elsewhere along its path can produce numbness, tingling, and burning in the area it serves, and this mechanical cause often responds well to care.
Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common forms, typically affecting the feet, and is managed primarily by your physician with supportive care as a complement.
A past fracture, dislocation, or accident can damage or crowd a nerve and lead to lingering neuropathic symptoms.
Repeated motions and sustained pressure can irritate a nerve over time, contributing to entrapment based neuropathy.
Deficiencies such as low B12, thyroid issues, and other systemic conditions can affect the nerves and should be evaluated by a physician.
Sometimes no single cause is found, and a careful, whole picture evaluation becomes especially important.
Dr. Nenos approaches neuropathy the way a nervous system specialist would, beginning with a thorough assessment and then matching the plan to the cause. Care is always honest about what it can and cannot do for your particular situation. A neuropathy plan typically includes:
.01
A careful assessment of your nerve function, reflexes, sensation, and movement to determine what type of neuropathy you have and where it originates, which guides every decision that follows.
.02
When a compressed or entrapped nerve is contributing, gentle, precise adjustments and mobilization work to relieve the pressure and restore healthy motion around the affected nerve.
.03
Gentle, nervous system focused care along with practical guidance on movement and daily habits that support nerve health, coordinated with your physician when a systemic cause is involved.
When you are looking for a chiropractor in Tampa, the difference is in the expertise. Dr. Nenos is not just a practicing chiropractor. He teaches chiropractic technique at the National University of Health Sciences and is one of the Tampa Bay area’s only board certified chiropractic neurologists. That means every patient receives academic level precision and a depth of diagnostic skill you will not find at a typical clinic, all from one doctor who personally treats you at every visit.
As one of the Tampa Bay area's only board certified chiropractic neurologists, Dr. Nenos brings exactly the kind of nervous system expertise that a condition like neuropathy calls for.

It depends on the cause, which is why the evaluation comes first. When neuropathy stems from a compressed or entrapped nerve, chiropractic care can relieve that pressure and help ease the symptoms. When it stems from a systemic condition like diabetes, our care is supportive and works alongside your physician rather than replacing medical treatment.
No honest provider promises a cure for neuropathy. For compression based causes, relieving the pressure can meaningfully improve symptoms. For systemic causes, care is supportive. Dr. Nenos will give you a straightforward assessment of what is realistic for your specific type of neuropathy.
Dr. Nenos is a board certified chiropractic neurologist, a credential held by fewer than 1,000 practitioners in the country. That means neuropathy is evaluated by someone with advanced training in the nervous system, which is uncommon at a community chiropractic clinic.
Yes. If a systemic condition is involved, please continue all medical care and keep your physician informed. Our supportive approach is designed to complement your treatment, and any new or rapidly worsening symptoms always warrant medical evaluation.
You do not have to accept numbness, tingling, and burning as something you simply live with, and you deserve an evaluation from someone who truly understands the nervous system. If neuropathy is affecting your hands, feet, or confidence in your own movement, a neurology led assessment is a smart first step. Our care is a natural, noninvasive way to address a mechanical cause directly or to support your nerves alongside your physician.
