Struggling With Peripheral Neuropathy? Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Relief with Chiropractic, SoftWave, Spinal Decompression & Red Light Therapy in Wilmington, DE at Integrative Physical Health

If you or someone you love is living with burning, tingling, numbness, or sharp pain in the feet or hands, you're not alone. Peripheral neuropathy affects millions—and many are told their only options are medications, topical creams, or to simply “learn to live with it.”

At Integrative Physical Health in Wilmington, DE, Dr. Tim Ciolkosz and his team are changing that narrative. They’ve developed a comprehensive, drug-free, and non-surgical protocol that’s helping patients repair and regenerate damaged nerves, restore circulation, and reclaim their quality of life.

A Unique Multi-Modal Protocol That Works

At Integrative Physical Health, neuropathy patients benefit from a synergistic approach that combines:

  • Chiropractic Care

  • Spinal Decompression

  • SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology

  • Take-Home Red Light Therapy

Each therapy supports a different but essential part of the healing process—addressing the root causes of neuropathy rather than masking symptoms.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Nervous System Health

The spine protects the nervous system. When spinal misalignments compress or irritate the nerve roots, it can contribute to nerve dysfunction and poor communication between the brain and body.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment and nervous system function, creating an optimal environment for the body to heal and regenerate. Many neuropathy patients report improved nerve sensation, reduced tingling, and better balance after regular chiropractic care.

Spinal Decompression: Taking Pressure Off Nerve Roots

For those with disc degeneration, bulges, or spinal stenosis, the nerves exiting the spine can become compressed—contributing to pain, numbness, and nerve damage that radiates into the arms or legs.

Spinal decompression therapy creates gentle traction within the spine, relieving pressure on the nerve roots, improving nutrient flow to the discs, and allowing nerves to recover.

This therapy is a critical step in restoring nerve function and reducing neuropathy symptoms—especially in the lower back and legs or the neck and hands.

SoftWave Therapy: Regenerating Nerves, Tissues, and Circulation

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology uses electrohydraulic supersonic acoustic waves—traveling over 3,000 mph—to initiate powerful regenerative responses in damaged tissues and nerves.

SoftWave activates a cascade of healing responses, including:

  • VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) to stimulate blood vessel formation (neoangiogenesis)

  • eNOS (Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase) to improve circulation and oxygenation

  • PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen) for nerve and tissue regeneration

  • Activation and migration of resident stem cells to repair nerve endings

  • Modulation of inflammation via toll-like receptors to calm nerve irritation

By stimulating nerve repair, improved circulation, and reduced inflammation, SoftWave helps address the underlying dysfunction contributing to neuropathy—not just the symptoms.

Red Light Therapy: At-Home Support for Ongoing Nerve Repair

To continue progress outside the office, Dr. Ciolkosz recommends take-home red light therapy devices that support nerve and vascular regeneration.

Red light therapy:

  • Stimulates mitochondrial energy production for cellular repair

  • Enhances nitric oxide release to improve blood flow

  • Reduces oxidative stress and supports nerve recovery

  • Promotes angiogenesis and neurogenesis (growth of new nerves and blood vessels)

When used consistently at home in conjunction with in-office care, red light therapy becomes a powerful daily tool in helping neuropathy patients heal and thrive.

Life-Changing Outcomes for Neuropathy Patients

Patients at Integrative Physical Health are reporting:

  • Reduced pain, tingling, and numbness

  • Improved stability, balance, and coordination

  • Better sleep and daily function

  • Decreased dependency on medications and creams

  • Increased mobility and confidence in daily life

Most importantly, they’re experiencing a renewed hope and outlook on life—something many thought was no longer possible.
