Is This What You're Experiencing?

If chemotherapy has left you with symptoms like these, you’re not alone.

Tingling or pins and needles in the hands or feet
Burning sensations
Numbness or reduced sensation
Cold sensitivity
Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
Trouble with buttons, zips or writing
Feeling disconnected from your feet
Symptoms that continue months or even years after treatment

Research suggests that many people receiving chemotherapy develop some degree of peripheral neuropathy, and for many, symptoms persist long after treatment has finished.

These symptoms are commonly associated with Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN), a condition caused by damage to the peripheral nerves from certain chemotherapy medications.

At McKenzie Sports Physical Therapy, we understand how frustrating these lingering symptoms can be. That’s why we’re proud to be Philadelphia’s only clinic offering Stimpod Therapy, an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate nerve function and help people experiencing chemotherapy-related nerve symptoms.

Why Does Chemotherapy Cause Neuropathy?

Certain chemotherapy drugs can damage the nerves responsible for sensation, movement and balance.

When nerves aren’t functioning properly, they may send incorrect signals to the brain, leading to symptoms such as:

While medications such as Gabapentin or Pregabalin may be prescribed to help manage symptoms, they don’t repair damaged nerves.

Many people are now looking for drug-free approaches that focus on improving nerve function.
