What Is Ischemia — and Why Is It a Major Cause of Peripheral Neuropathy in Miami?

What Is Ischemia? If you’ve been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, or are experiencing symptoms like burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness in your hands or feet, one of the most overlooked causes could be ischemia—a condition where your nerves are literally starved of oxygen and nutrients.

At the Neuropathy Relief Center of Miami, Dr. Rodolfo Alfonso treats the root causes of neuropathy—like ischemia—using a powerful, drug-free, non-surgical protocol that helps restore blood flow, repair damaged nerves, and get patients back on their feet.

What Is Ischemia?

Ischemia is a condition in which there is a reduction or blockage of blood flow to tissues—including your peripheral nerves. These nerves rely on microscopic capillaries to deliver the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive and function.

When blood flow is restricted—whether by:

  • High blood sugar (diabetes)
  • Toxin exposure (medications, alcohol, chemotherapy)
  • Mechanical compression (spinal issues, joint misalignment)

…the result is nerve cell starvation and eventual nerve cell death.

Over time, this lack of oxygen and nutrients leads to the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy:

  • Burning or tingling
  • Coldness in the feet or hands
  • Numbness or loss of sensation
  • Muscle cramping
  • Restless legs
  • Poor balance or difficulty walking

Why Diabetics Are Especially at Risk

People with diabetes often suffer from capillary damage, which worsens ischemia. High blood sugar fills the bloodstream with excess glucose, which can clog and obstruct the small vessels that nourish your nerves.

As a result, diabetic patients are among the highest-risk groups—over 70% of people with diabetes will develop peripheral neuropathy, especially in the feet and legs.

If you’re diabetic and experiencing symptoms, it’s critical to take action before permanent damage sets in.

Do Medications Solve the Problem?

Unfortunately, no.

Most conventional treatments only aim to cover up symptoms using:

  • Painkillers
  • Anti-seizure medications (Gabapentin, Lyrica)
  • Antidepressants
  • Anti-inflammatories

These drugs don’t address ischemia. They don’t improve circulation. They don’t help your nerves heal.

Even worse, many patients experience:

  • Brain fog or drowsiness
  • Digestive issues
  • Drug dependence
  • Continued nerve degeneration

Medications may mask your pain—but they can’t reverse the damage.

A Better Option: Dr. Alfonso’s Neuropathy Treatment Protocol

At Neuropathy Relief Center of Miami, Dr. Alfonso has developed a comprehensive, non-invasive protocol that targets the root cause of neuropathy: ischemia and nerve degeneration.

The protocol uses over 8 advanced therapies to:

  • Improve circulation and oxygen delivery to damaged nerves
  • Stimulate nerve regeneration at the cellular level
  • Remove mechanical nerve entrapments in the spine and limbs
  • Eliminate metabolic waste that builds up around unhealthy nerves

It’s a natural, research-backed solution that helps patients restore nerve function—without medications or surgery.
