Treating Neuropathy at the Source—Not Just Masking Symptoms.
While most clinics offer medications to hide the pain, Multnomah Medical Clinic uses FDA-cleared Focused Shockwave and EMTT to regenerate damaged nerve fibers.
The "Triad of Repair"
Focused Shockwave + Radial + EMTT
Understanding Peripheral Neuropathy
Why your feet burn, tingle, and go numb—and why pills rarely fix it.
Neuropathy is essentially a communication breakdown. It occurs when the peripheral nerves—the wires that connect your brain to your hands and feet—become damaged.
Common Triggers
- Diabetes: High blood sugar damages the delicate coating of the nerves.
- Chemotherapy: Life-saving drugs can often leave toxic residue on nerve endings.
- Poor Circulation: Nerves need oxygen; without it, they begin to die.
The Medical Gap
Most general practitioners will prescribe Gabapentin or Lyrica. These drugs mask the pain signals but do nothing to repair the dying nerve. At Multnomah Medical, we treat the physiology of the nerve itself.

Is This You? Recognizing the Signals
Neuropathy rarely starts with numbness. It often begins with subtle signals that many patients ignore until it's too late.
Burning Sensation
Often described as a "sunburn" feeling on the feet, especially painful at night when trying to sleep.
Electric Shocks
Sudden, sharp zaps of pain that shoot through the legs or feet without warning.
Pins & Needles
Constant tingling or a "falling asleep" sensation (Paresthesia) that doesn't go away with movement.
Numbness/Cold
Inability to feel the floor when walking, or feet that feel ice-cold to the touch despite being warm.
Conditions We Treat
The underlying cause of your nerve damage determines the treatment protocol. Unlike general wellness centers, we customize our shockwave settings based on the type of neuropathy you have.
Diabetic Neuropathy
The most common form, caused by high blood sugar damaging the micro-vessels that feed the nerves. Our therapy specifically targets angiogenesis (growing new blood vessels) to restore this fuel supply.
Chemotherapy-Induced (CIPN)
Toxic drugs used to fight cancer can leave nerve endings frayed. EMTT is particularly effective here for re-polarizing cells that have been chemically damaged.
Idiopathic Neuropathy
"Idiopathic" means "unknown cause." Even when doctors can't find the source, our Triad of Repair can often jumpstart the healing process by treating the symptoms at the root level.
Why "Standard" Therapy Isn't Enough
Many wellness spas claim to treat neuropathy, but equipment matters. We are the only clinic in Portland utilizing the complete "Triad of Repair."
Focused Shockwave
Unlike cheap "acoustic wave" massage guns found in spas that only vibrate the skin, our Swiss-engineered Focused Shockwave penetrates up to 12cm deep.
It bypasses the skin to hit the damaged nerve root directly, stimulating the release of VEGF to grow new blood vessels.
EMTT
Electromagnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT) works at the cellular level. Nerves that misfire are often chemically exhausted.
This high-frequency magnetic field restores the electrical potential of the cell membrane—essentially "recharging" the nerve so it can heal.
Radial Pressure
Nerves travel through muscles and fascia. If those tissues are tight, they strangle the nerve (compression).
We use Radial waves to smooth out the surrounding tissue, creating a healthy environment for the nerve to function.
Compare Your Treatment Options
| Treatment | Mechanism | Long Term Result | Side Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gabapentin / Pills | Chemical signal blocking | None (Pain returns when stopped) | Drowsiness, brain fog, dizziness |
| Standard Chiro/Spa Shockwave | Surface vibration (Radial only) | Minimal (Doesn't reach deep nerves) | Soreness, bruising |
| Multnomah Medical Protocol | Cellular Regeneration (Focused + EMTT) | Nerve Repair & Regrowth | None (Non-invasive) |
