NEUROPATHIES CHIROPRACTOR IN OVERLAND PARK, KS
Neuropathies Treatment
Numbness, tingling, burning or pins and needles. We find where the nerve is being irritated and treat it — and tell you straight if it's outside our scope.
What Are Neuropathies?
Neuropathy describes irritation, damage, or dysfunction of the nerves, most often the peripheral nerves that travel into the arms, hands, legs, and feet. Symptoms can include numbness, tingling, burning pain, sensitivity, or weakness, and they may affect one specific area or follow the path of a single nerve.
The underlying cause can vary from person to person and may involve nerve compression in the spine, entrapment where a nerve passes through tight muscles or joints, previous injuries, or underlying health conditions such as diabetes. Because the cause determines the treatment, effective care begins with identifying where and why the nerve is affected instead of simply masking the symptoms. A comprehensive evaluation helps determine what is contributing to your symptoms and guides the most appropriate course of care, including referral when necessary.
At Rebuild Chiropractic, we focus on restoring healthy movement, reducing pressure on irritated nerves, and helping your nervous system function at its best. Our goal is not only to relieve your current symptoms but also to improve function and reduce the likelihood of future flare-ups.

What Causes Neuropathies?
Nerve symptoms have mechanical causes we can treat and medical causes that need a different route. Figuring out which is which is the first job.
Nerve root irritation
An irritated nerve where it exits the spine, referring symptoms down the arm or leg.
Compression along the limb
Nerves can be compressed at the elbow, wrist, hip or ankle by tissue and posture.
Sustained positions
Long hours in one position keep a nerve compressed and sensitized day after day.
Systemic causes
Some neuropathies are metabolic or medical — those need work-up, and we'll point you there.
Don't guess which one is yours — booking takes a few seconds.
How We Treat Neuropathies
Instead of masking symptoms, we focus on restoring healthy movement and rebuilding tolerance for load — one-on-one with Dr. Luke Bergner, DC, at our Overland Park office.
Free consultation
A short call about what hurts, how long it's been going on, and what you've already tried. Free, no obligation. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
What you leave with: an honest answer on whether we can help.
Comprehensive evaluation
Full history plus movement, orthopedic and strength testing — because where it hurts is rarely where the problem started. You get the findings and your first treatment on the same visit.
What you leave with: a diagnosis, a plan, and treatment the same day.
A plan you can actually follow
Hands-on care to get you moving now, progressive loading so it holds. Built around your sport, your job and the hours you actually have — not a generic protocol.
What you leave with: exercises that fit your week, not someone else's.
Coaching between visits
Recovery doesn't only happen in the office. Every exercise comes with video in a private coaching app, and we adjust it as your symptoms and schedule change. Message us when you're stuck.
What you leave with: no guessing between appointments.
Build strength so it stays fixed
Most care stops when the pain does. We keep going until the area is stronger than it was before, so the same flare-up doesn't show up again next season.
What you leave with: a body that holds up without us.

Dr. Luke Bergner is a fantastic coach and guide. I can’t say enough good things about his approach. He truly listens, educates, and tailors his input and exercises to meet me where I am, while encouraging me to challenge myself. He builds confidence and strength! He’s thoughtful, flexible, encouraging, and thorough. I have autoimmune symptoms that were causing pain and limiting my lifestyle. Dr. Luke asked questions, learned, and provided me with options so that I could adapt to my symptoms day by day and still move forward. I’m grateful and glad that I went to see Dr. Luke!

I am very pleased with the results I got from my experience working with Dr. Luke on some back/hip issues. I was leery with his different approach to address my discomfort but his treatment really does seek to rebuild you and give you a long-term fix. He is extremely flexible and worked around some crazy travel plans I had during our time together to make sure I still got the results I wanted. I cannot recommend enough at least taking a phone call with him to discuss any long-term, lingering pain issues you might have to see if you'd be a good fit for one of his programs.

I went to see Dr. Luke at the recommendation of my sister to see about some SI Joint pain that was limiting my strength and mobility. This was about two weeks from a CrossFit competition, and I didn’t know if I was going to be able to compete as well as I knew I could. Within those two weeks, Dr. Luke worked with me to regain my strength and mobility so that I was able to compete and compete well. I would recommend him to anyone not only because of his expertise, but also his determination to keep people moving and to keep them doing what it is they enjoying doing.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the cause, which is why the evaluation matters. Nerve symptoms from spinal compression or entrapment often respond well to conservative care, while neuropathy from conditions like diabetes needs medical management first, with us supporting strength, mobility, and balance alongside.
A pinched nerve is compression at a specific point, often the spine, causing symptoms along that nerve's path. Neuropathy is the broader term for nerve dysfunction from any cause, including compression, injury, or systemic conditions.
Tingling means a nerve is irritated somewhere along its path, from the spine to the small tunnels it travels through in the limbs. Mapping the pattern of your symptoms tells us where to look.
Not always. Many nerve problems can be diagnosed from a careful history and physical exam. When the picture is unclear or severity needs measuring, we refer you for testing.
Yes, nerve compression at the spine is one of the most common causes of numbness and tingling that travels into a limb. Treating the spine problem is how those distant symptoms resolve.
Yes, it is the most common entrapment neuropathy, where the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Conservative care works well for mild to moderate cases, especially when started early.
Usually not if the cause is treated early. The longer and more severely a nerve is compressed, the slower and less complete recovery becomes, which is a good reason not to wait on persistent symptoms.
Yes, and in most cases you should, since strength and balance work protects against the falls and deconditioning that nerve symptoms invite. If you have diabetic neuropathy, well-fitting shoes and regular foot checks matter alongside training.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who claims to. Blood sugar control with your medical team is the primary treatment, while we help protect what matters day to day: strength, balance, mobility, and fall prevention.
Seek immediate care for sudden weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin or inner thighs, or symptoms spreading rapidly. Those signs need urgent medical attention.
