Alternative Neuropathy Treatment in Moorestown NJ
If gabapentin, Lyrica, or surgery are not the path you want, Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ offers FDA-cleared regenerative therapies that work on the underlying nerve damage.
Most patients reach Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown, NJ after years of being told their only options are nerve pain medication (gabapentin, Lyrica, duloxetine) or surgery. Those are not the only options. Our practice offers an alternative path: three FDA-cleared regenerative therapies that target the underlying nerve damage instead of masking symptoms. Dr. Tom Oliver, DC, BCN (Board Certified in Neuropathy), has helped patients across South New Jersey, including Moorestown, Mount Laurel, Cherry Hill, and Marlton, find relief without adding another prescription or going under the knife.
Why patients look for an alternative
Most peripheral neuropathy patients we see at Oliver Wellness Center have tried the standard medications: gabapentin, Lyrica (pregabalin), duloxetine (Cymbalta), or amitriptyline. These drugs mask nerve signal but do not repair nerve damage. Common side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, swelling, and brain fog. Many patients reach a point where the side effects feel worse than the original nerve pain.
Surgery is offered for some forms of nerve compression (carpal tunnel, tarsal tunnel), but it is rarely recommended for distributed peripheral neuropathy because the nerve damage is spread across many nerves rather than localized to one trapped one. Most neurologists tell patients surgery is not the right tool for diabetic, chemotherapy-induced, or idiopathic peripheral neuropathy.
That leaves a gap: patients who do not want lifelong medication and who do not have a surgical option. Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ exists to fill that gap with FDA-cleared regenerative therapies.
The alternative protocol
Our three-part protocol uses FDA-cleared therapies that target nerve regeneration directly. No medication is prescribed. No surgery is performed. No needles into nerves.
Infrared light therapy uses NASA-derived prescription-grade infrared diodes to grow new blood vessels around damaged nerves and stimulate cellular repair. SoftWave shockwave uses acoustic waves to activate stem cells and reduce chronic inflammation. DETS (Direct Electrical Therapy Stimulation) retrains the damaged nerve signaling pathways with mild electrical pulses applied to the skin.
Up to 95 percent of sessions are completed at home with our take-home device. In-office visits at our Moorestown NJ clinic are typically 1 to 2 per week for 8 to 16 weeks.
What 'alternative' does and does not mean here
Alternative in this context means alternative to medication and surgery. It does not mean alternative medicine in the unregulated sense. Every therapy used at Oliver Wellness Center is FDA-cleared for therapeutic use. The devices are prescription-grade. Dr. Tom Oliver is a Doctor of Chiropractic with Board Certification in Neuropathy, a credential held by fewer than 500 doctors nationwide.
We do not use unproven supplements, herbal protocols, energy healing, or other unregulated treatments. The protocol is evidence-based, regulated, and measurable.

Common questions about alternative treatment in Moorestown NJ
Q.What is an alternative to gabapentin for neuropathy?
Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ offers an FDA-cleared alternative protocol: infrared light therapy, SoftWave shockwave, and DETS nerve re-education. These therapies target the underlying nerve damage instead of masking the pain signal. Most patients reduce or eliminate nerve pain medication after completing the protocol (with their prescribing doctor's approval).
Q.Is there an alternative to nerve surgery?
For most peripheral neuropathy (diabetic, chemotherapy-induced, idiopathic), surgery is not the right tool to begin with. Our protocol at Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ uses regenerative therapies that address distributed nerve damage. For specific nerve-compression conditions like carpal tunnel, surgery may still be appropriate. The 5-point screening clarifies which case applies to you.
Q.Is this alternative medicine?
No. Every therapy we use at Oliver Wellness Center is FDA-cleared and prescription-grade. Dr. Tom Oliver is a Doctor of Chiropractic with Board Certification in Neuropathy. We do not use unproven supplements, herbal protocols, or unregulated treatments. The protocol is evidence-based and measurable.
Q.Can I keep taking my current nerve pain medication during treatment?
Yes. Continue your current medication exactly as your prescribing doctor directed until that doctor decides otherwise. Many patients are able to taper down or stop nerve pain medication after completing the alternative protocol at Oliver Wellness Center, but you should never stop medication without your prescribing doctor's involvement.
Q.How long does the alternative treatment take?
Most patients at our Moorestown NJ clinic complete 8 to 16 weeks of treatment. Most notice reduced burning, tingling, or numbness between weeks 4 and 6. About 95 percent of sessions are done at home with the take-home device. In-office visits are typically 1 to 2 per week.
Q.Who is not a candidate for this alternative protocol?
Patients with severe long-standing nerve death whose nerves are no longer viable for repair are not candidates. Patients with active foot ulcers, certain implanted devices, or recent foot surgery may need to defer. The free 5-point screening at Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ determines candidacy in about 20 minutes.
