Peripheral Neuropathy
Restore sensation. Reduce pain. Rebuild nerve function.
Important: R1SE services are complementary wellness support, not medical treatment. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new programme, especially if you are under active medical care.
Peripheral neuropathy - numbness, tingling, burning pain, and loss of sensation in the hands and feet - affects an estimated 2.4 million people in the UK, yet conventional treatment is largely limited to pain management. At R1SE Sheffield, we combine HBOT, Red Light Therapy, Hot Yoga, Reformer Pilates, and Compression Therapy to address neuropathy at its source - promoting nerve regeneration, improving blood supply to damaged nerves, and maintaining the balance and mobility that neuropathy progressively steals.
Peripheral nerves can regenerate - but they need the right conditions: adequate oxygen supply, reduced inflammation, and stimulation. HBOT provides the oxygen (at 10-15x normal levels). Red Light Therapy stimulates nerve regeneration at 250% the normal rate. Exercise maintains the neural pathways and blood supply that keep remaining nerves healthy. At R1SE, we combine these evidence-backed therapies into a protocol that gives damaged nerves the best possible chance of recovery - something no single therapy can achieve alone.

The Science
Evidence-based insights supporting our approach.
HBOT significantly improves nerve conduction velocity, reduces neuropathic pain, and promotes nerve regeneration in peripheral neuropathy patients. A 2015 systematic review in Neural Regeneration Research confirmed HBOT's effectiveness for both diabetic and idiopathic neuropathy.
Red Light Therapy at 830nm accelerates peripheral nerve regeneration by 250% compared to controls, as measured by nerve fibre density and conduction velocity (Anders et al., 2004, Lasers in Surgery and Medicine).
Peripheral neuropathy affects approximately 2.4 million people in the UK, with diabetic neuropathy accounting for 50% of cases. Up to 50% of people with diabetes will develop neuropathy during their lifetime (Diabetes UK).
Balance training (such as yoga) reduces fall risk by up to 50% in peripheral neuropathy patients - the single most important intervention for preventing the fractures that neuropathy-related falls cause (Ites et al., 2011, Physical Therapy).
Nerve regeneration requires oxygen - peripheral nerves consume 20% more oxygen per gram than skeletal muscle. HBOT delivers oxygen to nerve tissue at 10-15x normal atmospheric levels, directly addressing the hypoxia that slows nerve repair.
Exercise independently improves nerve function in peripheral neuropathy by increasing nerve blood supply, reducing inflammatory markers, and stimulating neurotrophic growth factors (BDNF, NGF) that support nerve repair (Singleton et al., 2015, Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology).
