Neuropathy care helps people living with numbness, tingling, burning, weakness or balance problems from nerve issues. We offer it at Transcending Health, 1445 Rio Road East in Charlottesville, VA. We blend several types of care to support blood flow, nerve health, movement and daily life.

Support for Numbness, Tingling, Burning, and Nerve Pain

Common situations we see with neuropathy in Charlottesville

Neuropathy has many medical causes, and your physician is the right person to look into those. What we see in our clinic is how numbness and tingling change daily life:

  • Balance on uneven ground. Walkers on the Rivanna Trail and in local parks tell us they feel unsure on gravel and roots.
  • Long periods of sitting. Desk work and long drives can make foot symptoms feel worse at the end of the day.
  • Less activity. When feet feel numb, people walk less, and lost strength makes balance harder.
  • Night symptoms. Burning or tingling often feels strongest when you lie down.
  • Older adults staying active. Many want to keep gardening, golfing or walking with friends safely.

Our focus is on comfort, circulation-friendly movement and balance, so you can stay active with confidence.

Self-checks before your visit

These notes help us plan safely:

  • Stand near a counter with feet together. Can you hold still for 30 seconds with eyes open? With eyes closed?
  • Check your feet daily for cuts, blisters or color changes, especially if you have diabetes.
  • Write down where you feel numbness or burning and when it is worst.
  • Bring a list of your medications and any recent test results from your physician.

If numbness or weakness came on suddenly, spreads quickly, or affects one side of your face or body, seek emergency care.

What a first visit looks like

We review your history and any information from your physician. Then we check sensation, balance, walking and leg strength so we have a clear baseline. We keep treatment gentle and pay close attention to skin and circulation.

Your first session may include hands-on work for the feet and legs and simple balance exercises you can do safely at home. A therapeutic massage with evaluation is $130 for 60 minutes. We work alongside your medical care, not in place of it. We accept HSA and CareCredit. Book online or call 434-465-2905.
