What do medical doctors prescribe for peripheral neuropathy – If you’re living with burning, tingling, or numbness in your feet or hands, your doctor may have prescribed medication to help manage your peripheral neuropathy symptoms. But are these drugs truly fixing the problem or just covering it up?

At the Neuropathy Relief Center of Miami, we believe that patients deserve more than symptom-masking medications. Our mission is to offer drug-free, non-surgical, root-cause solutions that help nerves truly heal and regenerate.

The Most Common Drugs for Peripheral Neuropathy

When patients seek conventional medical care for neuropathy, they’re often prescribed one or more of the following:

1. Painkillers & Anti-inflammatories

  • Over-the-counter NSAIDs
  • Prescription opioids like tramadol (Ultram) and oxycodone (OxyContin)

2. Anti-Seizure Medications

  • Gabapentin (Neurontin)
  • Pregabalin (Lyrica)

3. Antidepressants

  • Tricyclics like amitriptyline and nortriptyline
  • SNRIs like duloxetine (Cymbalta) and venlafaxine (Effexor XR)

⚠️ These medications may reduce pain temporarily, but they do not repair the damaged nerves or restore lost function. Over time, this can allow the underlying condition to worsen.

So What Causes Peripheral Neuropathy?

The root of most neuropathy lies in poor circulation to the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that feed and nourish your peripheral nerves.

When these capillaries become damaged—due to high blood sugar, toxins, mechanical compression, or inflammation your nerves become starved of oxygen and nutrients, resulting in:

  • Nerve cell death
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Pain, cramping, and balance issues

Diabetic patients are especially vulnerable. Up to 80% of people with diabetes suffer from neuropathy, especially in their feet.

Are You Experiencing These Symptoms?

If you have any of the following signs, your nerves may already be damaged:

  • Burning, stabbing, or sharp pain
  • Pins and needles or numbness
  • Restless legs or cramps at night
  • Coldness or tightness in feet or hands
  • Balance issues or walking difficulties
  • Weakness or fatigue in arms and legs
