Living with neuropathy can be exhausting and confusing. You might have been told that your only option is to “manage symptoms” with medications that dull pain but don’t address why the nerves are failing in the first place.
At Premier Health of Summit, we take a different approach.
As a leading functional neuropathy clinic in New Jersey, our care is designed to identify and address the underlying causes of neuropathy, not just suppress symptoms. By evaluating how your nervous system, metabolism, circulation, immune system, and nutritional status work together, we create a personalized plan aimed at restoring nerve health and improving quality of life. Let’s work together for a better life.
Neuropathy isn’t a single disease. It is a signal that tells your body that something deeper is wrong. Conventional care often focuses on pain control alone, but pain management does not stop nerve damage, nor does it help nerves recover.
Functional medicine asks a different question: Why are the nerves under stress in the first place?
Under the leadership of Dr. Brian D. Anderson, our clinic is recognized for treating complex neuropathy cases through an advanced cellular regenerative healing model—designed for those who qualify for this level of care. Rather than focusing solely on symptom suppression, our approach addresses the biological breakdowns that interfere with nerve repair: impaired circulation, cellular energy deficits, chronic inflammation, metabolic stress, and disrupted neurological signaling.
Neuropathy can develop for many reasons, and most patients have more than one contributing factor. Identifying these drivers is essential to creating a plan that actually works.
High blood sugar damages small blood vessels that supply nerves with oxygen and nutrients. Over time, this leads to inflammation, impaired nerve signaling, and degeneration. Even early insulin resistance—before a formal diabetes diagnosis—can contribute to neuropathy. Learn more about our diabetic neuropathy services.
Nerves depend on specific nutrients to function and repair, especially B vitamins, magnesium, alpha-lipoic acid, and essential fatty acids. Deficiencies can develop from poor diet, digestive issues, medications, or chronic stress and are often overlooked in standard testing.
Inflammation damages the protective myelin sheath around nerves and disrupts nerve transmission. Autoimmune conditions may directly attack nerve tissue, while chronic inflammatory states quietly erode nerve health over time.
Chemotherapy, certain antibiotics, statins, and environmental toxins can damage nerve tissue. In many cases, the body struggles to detoxify efficiently, allowing nerve injury to progress even after exposure ends.
Nerves rely on consistent blood flow. Poor circulation, endothelial dysfunction, or microvascular damage can starve nerves of oxygen, slowing healing and increasing pain, numbness, or weakness.
Past injuries, repetitive strain, spinal misalignment, or postural dysfunction can compress or irritate nerves. Without proper correction, this ongoing stress prevents healing and worsens symptoms.
Understanding which of these factors are affecting you allows us to move from guesswork to precision care. Of course, neuropathy might fall outside the limits of these six causes. We can still work with you! Give our clinic a call to discuss your situation.
If you haven’t found answers to your neuropathy, it could be that a past practitioner didn’t address the big picture. Neuropathy isn’t just a foot or hand issue. Instead, it can be caused by issues with multiple systems in the body, including:
When these systems fall out of balance, nerves suffer. Addressing neuropathy requires supporting the entire network, not just the painful area.
This systems-based perspective is what makes functional medicine so powerful for neuropathy care.
By addressing nutritional deficiencies, improving circulation, and enhancing nerve function, we help you regain control over your life.
Rather than relying on temporary pain suppression, our approach focuses on rebuilding the environment nerves need to heal. Care plans may include targeted nutritional support, metabolic optimization, circulation enhancement, neurological rehabilitation, and lifestyle strategies that reduce ongoing nerve stress.
As Dr. Brian Anderson explains, “Neuropathy is rarely just about pain. It’s about understanding why the nerves are struggling and giving the body what it needs to repair, adapt, and function again. When you address the root causes, real change becomes possible.”
This philosophy guides every patient relationship at Premier Health of Summit.
At Premier Health of Summit, you are not passed between providers or rushed through appointments. You work directly with Dr. Brian Anderson, who takes the time to understand your history, symptoms, and goals.
Dr. Anderson’s clinical focus is shaped by extensive postgraduate training in functional medicine, functional neurology, and integrative care. He is particularly drawn to patients with chronic, complex conditions—those who have not found relief elsewhere and deserve deeper answers.
Every care plan is individualized. Progress is monitored. Adjustments are made based on how your body responds. Most importantly, you are treated as a whole person, not a diagnosis code.
Patients often tell us this is the first time they feel truly heard.
Managing pain may help you cope—but it should never be the final goal.
Patients often come to us after years of searching—having tried medications, supplements, or therapies that offered little more than temporary relief. What they discover here is a clear, structured pathway forward: one that respects the complexity of their condition while focusing on meaningful, measurable improvements in function and quality of life.
This is not maintenance care.
This is not symptom masking.
This is a strategic, science-driven, cellular-level approach to nerve restoration—for individuals who are ready to pursue a higher standard of care.
