A Different Way to Treat Nerve Pain
We Find the Cause Before We Choose the Treatment
If you've been told you have peripheral neuropathy, chances are you've also been handed a treatment plan, maybe medication, maybe a device, without anyone checking what's actually causing the nerve pain, numbness, or burning in your hands and feet. Peripheral Neuropathy Specialists exists to change that order. Every new patient starts with a diagnostic workup, a Neurologic Multipoint Exam, Infrared Thermal Imaging, Transcutaneous Oxygen Measurement (tcpO2), and a Venous and Arterial Duplex Study, to check for an underlying vascular or venous cause before any nerve-specific treatment ever begins.
Peripheral Neuropathy Specialists is a division of Florida Foot and Ankle, where Dr. Mark A. Matey has practiced for years after a surgical residency at the Miami VA Medical Center and helping open the Baptist Medical Center Wound Care Institute, the first center in Northeast Florida to offer hyperbaric oxygen therapy for wound healing. That combination of podiatric, vascular, and wound care training is why this practice looks for the connection between nerve pain and circulation instead of treating neuropathy as an isolated symptom. Dr. Matey has also been named Bold City's Best Podiatrist three years running: 2018, 2019, and 2020. When a treatment protocol is the right next step, it typically relies on the Neurogenx NervePro 2.0 system, which Neurogenx reports produces meaningful symptom improvement in about 87% of patients across its partner practices.
Patients from Jacksonville and surrounding communities, including St. Augustine, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, Fernandina Beach, Palm Coast, and Lake City, are seen at either the Bartram Park or Atlantic Boulevard location. Treatment is billed through insurance, with mostly no out-of-pocket cost. If you've already spent money on expensive treatments elsewhere without real success, talk to our team about a free consultation and diagnostic evaluation to find out what's actually causing your symptoms.
