Neuropathy & Nerve Pain Treatment in Tampa, FL

Burning feet. Tingling hands. Numbness that creeps in at night. Nerve pain is miserable — and often treated with nothing but medication that dulls it. Mapping where the nerve is actually irritated opens up options.

Nerve pain has an anatomy

Superficial nerve irritation Nerves near the skin become irritated along their pathway — treatable at the specific site.
Compression points Nerves get squeezed at predictable places — ankle, knee, elbow, wrist — creating symptoms downstream.
Trigger point mimics Muscle knots refer numbness and tingling in patterns that convincingly imitate neuropathy.
Old injuries and scars Scar tissue can tether and irritate nerves years after the original injury.
Metabolic contribution Diabetic and systemic neuropathy benefit from support alongside targeted local treatment.

These need different treatment — which is why your first visit is a hands-on Pain Mapping Visit: palpation, movement testing, and targeted examination designed to reproduce your familiar pain and find the tissue that matches your actual complaint.

Questions, answered

Neuropathy & Nerve Pain, explained

Can anything actually be done for neuropathy besides medication?

Often, yes. Medication dulls the signal; targeted treatment addresses where the nerve is irritated. Perineural injections along the nerve pathway, electroacupuncture, and treatment of the compression sites and trigger points feeding the pattern all change the input — not just the volume.

Is my numbness and tingling really neuropathy?

Not always. Trigger points refer numbness and tingling in patterns that imitate nerve damage convincingly. The exam distinguishes true nerve involvement from muscular mimics — and the treatment differs completely.

I have diabetic neuropathy. Can you help?

Diabetic neuropathy has a metabolic driver that needs to stay managed with your physician — and a local, tissue-level component that often responds to targeted care. The two approaches work alongside each other, not in competition.

How long does nerve pain take to improve?

Nerves change more slowly than muscles. Relief can begin early, but sensitive nerves usually need a series of treatments for improvement to hold. Your response over the first visits sets the realistic timeline.

Meet your doctor

Dr. Josh Hanson, DACM

I’m the doctor people come to when pain has become something they thought they had to live with forever.

My approach is simple: map the painful tissues with a thorough hands-on exam, identify the exact muscle, tendon, joint, fascia, or nerve creating the pain signal, and treat that target directly using the best tool for the job. Many patients tell me I’m the first doctor who actually took the time to put his hands on the painful areas instead of just looking at images.

Over a decade in practice and more than 35,000 procedures later, I’ve treated patients other clinics gave up on.
