Advanced treatment options for peripheral neuropathy causing numbness, tingling, and pain in the feet. Dr. Storts offers innovative therapies beyond traditional medication management.

We offer evaluation to try to identify the root cause of your neuropathy, and management of symptoms with medications and advanced treatments.
One such treatment is Qutenza which is an 8% capsaicin prescription skin patch used to treat nerve pain from diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Many patients with neuropathy are told the only option is medication to manage symptoms. While medications like gabapentin or pregabalin can help, they don't address the underlying nerve damage and often come with side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, and weight gain—especially problematic for workers who need to stay alert on the job.
Dr. Storts takes a comprehensive approach that goes beyond symptom management to promote actual nerve healing and regeneration.
At Bends Foot and Ankle, we offer innovative treatments for neuropathy that many practices don't provide:
Our goal is to reduce pain, improve sensation, and prevent the complications that can come with neuropathy—especially for patients who work on their feet.
If you've been told nothing can be done for your neuropathy, we encourage you to get a second opinion. Dr. Storts has helped many patients find relief through advanced treatment options.
Call (740) 851-4003 to schedule your evaluation. Evening appointments available.
In some cases, especially when caught early, nerve damage can be partially or fully reversed with proper treatment. Even in cases where full reversal isn't possible, our advanced treatments can significantly reduce symptoms and slow progression.
Yes, neuropathy can be dangerous because reduced sensation means you may not notice injuries, burns, or pressure sores on your feet. This is especially concerning for diabetic patients. Regular foot exams are essential.
We offer evaluation to try to identify the root cause of your neuropathy, and management of symptoms with medications and advanced treatments. A typical visit includes reviewing your symptoms and medical history, examining both feet, and checking sensation and circulation.
