Neuropathy

Neuropathy is a condition that can slowly take over your life—causing burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp pain in your hands, feet, or legs.

Whether the cause is diabetes, nerve compression, chemotherapy, or unknown, the result is often the same: discomfort, limited mobility, and a feeling of helplessness.

We take a different approach. At Regenerative Health Institute, instead of masking symptoms with medications, we target the nerve dysfunction at the source.

At our pain management clinic in Fishers, Dr. Derek Smith offers Scrambler Therapy—a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment that retrains the nervous system to reduce chronic pain without the need for drugs or surgery.

What is Neuropathy?

Neuropathy is the result of damage to the peripheral nerves—most commonly in the feet, legs, or hands. These nerves are responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

When they’re damaged or inflamed, they can send faulty signals, leading to pain, numbness, or other abnormal sensations.

Common symptoms of neuropathy include:

• Burning or tingling sensations
• Numbness or reduced sensitivity
• Sharp, stabbing, or electric-like pain
• Muscle weakness or coordination issues
• Pain that worsens at night
• Hypersensitivity to touch

Neuropathy can be caused by diabetes, autoimmune conditions, injury, toxins, infections, chemotherapy, or spinal issues—but in some cases, the exact cause is unknown.

Scrambler Therapy: A Breakthrough Treatment for Neuropathic Pain & Discomfort

Scrambler Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses a unique electrical stimulation technology to “retrain” the brain to interpret pain signals correctly.

Instead of blocking nerve pain like medications do, Scrambler Therapy replaces those signals with normal, non-pain information—effectively rewiring the nervous system over time.

How it Works:

• Surface electrodes are placed near the area of nerve pain (not directly on it).
• The device sends proprietary electrical signals that mimic normal nerve communication.
• These signals override the pain messages and teach the brain to stop interpreting them as harmful.
• Over a series of sessions, the nervous system begins to respond in a more normalized, pain-free way.

The Benefits:

• Painless and non-invasive
• Drug-free with no side effects
• Performed in-office with no downtime
• Clinically proven for nerve pain relief

Dr. Derek Smith is one of only two providers in the entire state of Indiana trained and equipped to offer Scrambler Therapy.

Diabetic Neuropathy: A Common but Treatable Condition

Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes, affecting up to 50% of patients over time.

High blood sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels that supply the nerves, leading to nerve degeneration and pain—especially in the feet and legs.

Symptoms of diabetic neuropathy often include:

• Numbness or tingling in the feet
• Sharp or burning pain in the legs
• Loss of balance or coordination

• Increased risk of foot injuries or ulcers
• Pain that worsens at night

Unfortunately, traditional treatments for diabetic neuropathy often focus on masking symptoms with medications like gabapentin or antidepressants—while the condition continues to worsen.

Scrambler Therapy offers a better solution. By retraining the nervous system to process signals normally, it helps reduce symptoms and restore quality of life—without drugs or invasive procedures.
