How Dr. Lazarus Treats Peripheral Neuropathy
Dr. Lazarus focuses on identifying the root cause and matching treatment to the condition, not forcing every patient into the same routine.

Non-drug nerve support for selected neuropathy patients

Regenerative injection therapy may be recommended for selected patients when appropriate, after an evaluation. Not every patient needs it.

Numb Feet, Tingling, or Burning at Night?
Most people don't say "peripheral neuropathy." They say their feet feel numb, tingly, or like they are on fire, or that burning feet keep them up at night. If that sounds like you, you are in the right place.
These symptoms can have many causes, so it helps to have them looked at. Dr. Lazarus listens first, then explains what he finds in plain language. You can read more in our guide to the warning signs of peripheral neuropathy, or book a visit when you are ready.
What Happens at Your First Visit
Your first visit is a conversation, not a commitment. Here is what to expect:
- Your story. Dr. Lazarus asks when the symptoms started, where you feel them, what makes them better or worse, and what other health conditions and medicines are part of the picture.
- A foot exam. He looks at your feet and how you stand and walk, and checks how your feet respond to touch.
- A plain-language explanation. He tells you what he is finding and what it may mean.
- Drug-free options. You talk through non-surgical, drug-free options and decide together what, if anything, makes sense for you.
Podiatrist or Neurologist?
Both can play a part, and you do not have to choose one. A podiatrist focuses on what is happening in your feet and offers drug-free options in the office, such as Class IV laser and neoGEN electric cell signaling.
You can see Dr. Lazarus alongside your primary care doctor or neurologist. Bring along anything they have shared with you, and keep them in the loop about how you are doing. If your numbness is linked to diabetes, see our page on diabetic neuropathy.

Bring a photo ID, a list of your medicines and supplements, any recent notes or test results from your primary care doctor or neurologist, and a few questions you want answered. Wear the shoes you walk in most days.
Yes. Many people see a podiatrist alongside their primary care doctor or neurologist. Dr. Lazarus focuses on symptoms in the feet and drug-free in-office options, and he is glad to work alongside the rest of your care team.
Diabetic neuropathy is a type of peripheral neuropathy linked to diabetes. The symptoms are similar. Dr. Lazarus focuses on nerve symptoms in the feet and can coordinate with your diabetes care team.
It is a good idea to get checked if numbness, tingling, or burning is new, is getting worse, or affects your balance or sleep. Sudden numbness, weakness, or loss of function needs urgent medical care: call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
