At LaserTech Pain and Back Relief Center, we provide non-invasive neuropathy treatment in Scottsdale for patients experiencing numbness, tingling, burning sensations, nerve discomfort, balance issues, and weakness in the hands or feet. Led by Dr. Zimmerman, our clinic uses a combination of technologies and physiotherapy modalities designed to support healthier nerve function, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help patients regain mobility and daily function when traditional approaches have provided limited results. We offer individualized treatments for peripheral neuropathy, idiopathic neuropathy, and diabetic neuropathy at our Scottsdale clinic.
It is estimated that more than 20 million Americans suffer from pain caused by neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that arises when peripheral nerves in your body become damaged or dysfunctional, resulting in numb, weak and painful sensations most commonly in the hands and feet, but occasionally in other parts of the body as well.
Your nerves can become damaged in a number of ways, such as trauma, disease or infections, which causes your nerves to misfire and trigger the mild to severe, painful sensations that are commonly felt in your extremities. Most of our patients describe their pain as a burning, stabbing or tingling sensation, which can be triggered by something as minor as touching a blanket or sheets with your feet.
If you believe you may be suffering from peripheral neuropathy, rest assured you’re not alone. Fortunately for you, LaserTech Pain and Back Relief Center offers safe, non-invasive treatment options that provide effective neuropathy pain relief treatment even when all other treatments have failed you up to this point.
Idiopathic neuropathy is one of the most common forms of peripheral neuropathy we see at LaserTech, and one of the most frustrating for patients to navigate. The word “idiopathic” simply means that no clear underlying cause has been identified. You’ve had the tests. You’ve seen the specialists. And the answer you’ve been given is that they don’t know why your nerves are misfiring.
That doesn’t mean the condition isn’t real. It absolutely is. And it doesn’t mean it can’t be treated effectively.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes. It is one of the most common complications of diabetes and one of the most common types of neuropathy we treat at LaserTech.
Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms may include but are not limited to:
– Pain, numbness, and tingling in hands, fingers, toes, and feet
– Sharp, jabbing, burning, or throbbing pain in hands or feet
– Sensitivity to touch
– Loss of balance
– Muscle Weakness
– A sensation that you have an elastic band on your hands/feet
– Pain, numbness that spreads from hands/feet up extremities toward the body
While a number of Neuropathy treatment options exist in the area, many of them are either ineffective at reducing pain or carry a high potential for side effects. But thanks to LaserTech, you no longer have to settle for any of those treatments, because we have the solution you have been seeking. Our highly trained and qualified professionals take a multi-faceted approach when it comes to safely and effectively treating your neuropathy symptoms.
Since there are many different types of neuropathy, it makes sense that each type may require different types of treatment to succeed. Therefore, we know that good treatment for neuropathy requires different types of lasers and different secondary treatments. With our years of experience, we know the best way to get the results you desire. With our proprietary treatment protocols, we strive to improve your peripheral nerve function, thereby reducing pain and promoting nerve and tissue healing and regeneration. If you are ready to finally get relief of your neuropathy pain, tingling, or numbness, LaserTech has just the non-invasive solution you need.
Depending on your symptoms and underlying causes, care may include technologies such as cold laser therapy, BEMER therapy, the Electronic Nerve Biomodulator (ENB), and other supportive therapies aimed at promoting healthier nerve and tissue function.
Some patients may also benefit from Additive Care such as neurological and pain-focused approaches, functional rehabilitation, movement evaluation, or nutritional and inflammation-based support to help improve overall function and quality of life.

With more than 30 years of experience treating chronic and complex pain conditions, Dr. Zimmerman has dedicated his career to helping patients find relief when other treatments have failed. His expertise includes conditions such as sciatica, neuropathy, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, arthritis, and chronic nerve-related pain. Dr. Z combines advanced, non-invasive therapies with a whole-body approach focused on reducing inflammation, improving nervous system function, restoring movement, and addressing the underlying causes of pain, not just masking symptoms. He is also the author of Unlocking the Chronic Pain Code, where he shares his approach to long-term pain relief and functional recovery. [Read Dr. Z’s full bio here.]
