How does neuropathy usually start?
It starts small. Checking the floor before you put a foot down at night. Holding the rail going into the pool. Wearing shoes indoors because you cannot feel what you have stepped on.
Around The Villages it is a common reason people quietly give things up. Almost nobody says the word neuropathy out loud until a doctor does.
What worries people more than the pain?
Even when it hurts, the bigger problem is not trusting your own feet. The pedals feel vague. Pickleball becomes optional. The trip does not get booked.
The first thing you get at our Lady Lake office is a straight answer about what care can and cannot change.
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves carrying sensation between your feet, hands and spinal cord. The commonest driver here is diabetes, then age-related change, spinal nerve compression, chemotherapy and B12 deficiency. Established nerve damage is not undone by any treatment. Non-surgical care targets pain, numbness, balance, sleep and the pace of progression. First visit is $47.
Symptoms
What The Villages patients describe when they call this office.
- Burning or stinging in the feet, worse at night
- Numbness that makes the floor feel padded or distant
- Pins and needles that come and go without warning
- Sharp, electric jolts up through the foot or calf
- Unsteadiness in the dark or on uneven ground
- Not feeling a pebble, a seam or a hot surface underfoot
- Cramping in the calves and feet at rest
- Skin that is painfully sensitive to bedsheets
- Weakness lifting the front of the foot when walking
- A cut, blister or sore on the foot that is slow to heal
Common causes
Diabetes and prediabetes
The leading cause, and the one you can still do something about. High blood sugar damages the small vessels feeding your nerves, the longest nerves first. How well you control your blood sugar decides how fast it progresses.
Age-related nerve and circulation change
Nerve conduction slows and small-vessel circulation declines with age, which is why this presents so heavily here.
Spinal nerve compression
Stenosis and disc narrowing in your lower back cause leg numbness, burning and weakness that looks just like peripheral neuropathy. Telling the two apart changes the treatment completely.
Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy
Several chemotherapy agents damage peripheral nerves, sometimes long after treatment ends. Care here runs alongside your oncology team, never in place of it.
B12 deficiency, medication and idiopathic cases
Low B12 is a real and treatable cause, and long-term metformin use is one way people end up short of it. Alcohol damages nerve tissue directly. A good number of cases have no cause anyone can find.
What the treatment looks like
How we treat it at our Lady Lake office
Care here is non-surgical and drug-free. It works on circulation, symptom control, balance and what you can do, rather than on the nerve damage itself. Dr. Justin Bergin, DC tests your sensation, reflexes, strength and balance first. Then he builds a plan from Neuromed electroanalgesia, cold laser and nerve-rehabilitation work.
Neuromed electroanalgesia
Neuromed sends a specific electrical waveform through the affected limb, aimed at the burning, stabbing and night pain that keep people awake. It does not repair damaged nerve tissue.
Cold laser therapy
Low-level laser applied along the affected nerve paths and into the feet, intended to support local circulation and tissue metabolism. Painless beyond mild warmth, and combined with the other work rather than used alone.

What we are near
Where is the Lady Lake office, and what is parking like?
The office is at 929 US-441 #404, Lady Lake, FL 32159, just north of the CR 466 junction. The suite number is 404.
Parking is at ground level right outside, with no garage and no stairs, which matters when your feet are unreliable. Plenty of patients come by golf cart, so call ahead for the current routes.
Which towns does this office draw from?
Patients come from throughout The Villages, and from Lady Lake, Summerfield, Wildwood, Oxford, Fruitland Park and Leesburg, across Sumter, Lake and Marion counties.
The Lake-Sumter State College campus in Leesburg is a short drive away, and UF Health The Villages Hospital is close by. We are not affiliated with either one.
How far are the three squares from the door?
Spanish Springs Town Square is the closest of the three squares to us, Lake Sumter Landing is a straightforward drive and Brownwood Paddock Square is the longest run.
Which days does this office treat?
This office treats Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Tuesday and Friday are by appointment, so plan the drive around those three days.
Our Lady Lake office is a short drive from the Lake-Sumter State College campus in Leesburg, and we serve the same tri-county community. We are not affiliated with the college.
ChiroMed is an independent practice. Naming nearby hospitals, colleges or landmarks describes where we are, not who we are affiliated with. There is no affiliation, partnership or endorsement of any kind.

The Villages questions
Tap a message for the honest answer. Call The Villages (352) 915-7150
Can neuropathy be fixed permanently?
Usually not, and be wary of anyone in Florida who tells you otherwise. Peripheral neuropathy is generally a long-term condition, and nerve damage that is already done stays done. What can change is a great deal of what makes it hard to live with. Pain levels. Burning at night. Sleep. Steadiness on your feet. How quickly it gets worse, especially once blood sugar is better controlled. That is what we offer here.
Can nerve damage in the legs be undone?
No treatment undoes nerve damage that is already done, and the major diabetes and neurology bodies say so plainly. Once the damage is found, the work is keeping your feet and legs healthy and managing your symptoms. That matters more than it sounds. Protecting the feeling you still have. Slowing things down. Staying steady on your feet. Those are what decide whether you keep driving and keep living on your own.
Does Medicare cover neuropathy treatment?
Coverage varies by plan and by service. Chiropractic care at ChiroMed bills insurance. Our front desk verifies your benefits before your first visit, including what a Medicare or Medicare Advantage plan says. The device-based neuropathy protocols are generally self-pay. We tell you exactly what applies to you before you commit to anything. Payment plans are available for self-pay care.
Can diabetic neuropathy be treated without medication?
The non-drug side of neuropathy care is real, and it is what this office does. Neuromed electroanalgesia, cold laser, balance and nerve-rehabilitation work, plus attention to circulation and foot protection. None of that replaces managing your blood sugar. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that nerve damage can be prevented or delayed by closely managing blood sugar. Keep working with whoever manages your diabetes. Our care runs alongside theirs.
Do I need a referral, or should I be seeing a neurologist?
No referral is needed to be examined here. Whether you also need a neurologist depends on what the examination finds. See a neurologist if your symptoms came on suddenly, are getting worse fast, involve spreading weakness, or affect one side only. If that is what your findings look like, we tell you at the first visit and send you on. Plenty of patients see both, and we are glad to handle the non-surgical side.
What does Vicks Vaporub do for neuropathy?
A lot of people try it. The menthol and camphor in it feel cool on the skin, which can take your mind off the burning for a while. Some people find it soothing at bedtime. It does nothing to the nerve itself and it does not change the condition. On unbroken skin it does no harm. One caution: if you have lost feeling in your feet, do not trust how something feels to judge whether it is safe. Any broken skin on a neuropathic foot needs looking at, not covering up.
