Non-Surgical Neuropathy Treatment in Moorestown NJ
If you have been told surgery or lifelong medication is your only option for neuropathy, there is a third path. Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ treats neuropathy without either.
Most neuropathy patients are offered two options: surgery (rarely successful for peripheral nerve damage) or medication like gabapentin, Lyrica, or duloxetine (masks symptoms, does not repair nerves). Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown, NJ offers a third option: a non-surgical, drug-free protocol using three FDA-cleared therapies. Dr. Tom Oliver, DC, BCN (Board Certified in Neuropathy), has helped patients across South New Jersey, including Moorestown, Mount Laurel, Cherry Hill, and Marlton, restore nerve function without surgery and without adding another prescription.
Why most neuropathy surgery does not work
Surgical decompression can help when neuropathy is caused by a single trapped nerve (like carpal tunnel or tarsal tunnel). But the most common forms of peripheral neuropathy, including diabetic neuropathy, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, and idiopathic neuropathy, are not single-nerve compression problems. They are nerve cell damage spread across many nerves.
Surgery cannot repair distributed nerve damage. That is why most neurologists do not recommend surgery for these forms of peripheral neuropathy. The realistic options are medication (which masks pain but does not heal nerves) or regenerative therapies (which work on the actual nerve damage).
Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ uses the regenerative-therapy path. No surgery, no needles into nerves, no opioids, no anti-seizure drugs prescribed off-label for pain.
The three non-surgical therapies we use
Infrared light therapy uses NASA-derived prescription-grade infrared diodes to penetrate tissue and stimulate nerve regeneration. No incision, no recovery period. SoftWave shockwave uses acoustic waves at FDA-cleared therapeutic intensity to activate stem cells and reduce inflammation. No needles, no anesthesia. DETS (Direct Electrical Therapy Stimulation) retrains damaged nerve signaling pathways with mild electrical pulses applied to the skin.
All three are FDA-cleared. All three are non-invasive. None of them require taking any medication. Patients drive themselves home from Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ after every appointment.
What non-surgical treatment looks like week to week
Week 1: Free 5-point screening at our Moorestown NJ clinic to determine nerve viability. If you are a candidate, we go through the protocol and pricing.
Weeks 2 through 8: In-office sessions 1 to 2 times per week. Take-home device used at home daily. Most patients begin noticing reduced burning or tingling between weeks 4 and 6.
Weeks 8 through 16: Continued at-home sessions. In-office visits taper down. Final progress review at week 16, with re-screening to measure nerve function gains.

Common questions about non-surgical treatment in Moorestown NJ
Q.Is there really a non-surgical treatment for neuropathy?
Yes. Most peripheral neuropathy is not caused by a single trapped nerve, so surgery is not the right tool. Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ uses three FDA-cleared non-surgical therapies (infrared light, SoftWave shockwave, DETS nerve re-education) to repair nerve damage and restore signal flow without any surgery or medication.
Q.Do I have to take any medication during this treatment?
No medication is prescribed as part of our protocol. If you are currently taking gabapentin, Lyrica, duloxetine, or another nerve pain medication prescribed by another doctor, continue taking it as directed until that doctor reduces or stops it. Many patients are able to taper off nerve pain medication after completing treatment at Oliver Wellness Center in Moorestown NJ, but never stop a medication without consulting the prescribing doctor.
Q.Is the treatment painful?
No. Infrared light therapy feels like gentle warmth. SoftWave shockwave feels like a tapping sensation. DETS nerve re-education feels like a mild tingle. None of the therapies require injections, incisions, or anesthesia. Most patients find the sessions relaxing.
Q.How is non-surgical treatment different from acupuncture or chiropractic adjustment?
Acupuncture and chiropractic adjustment can help with pain management, but they do not regenerate damaged nerve tissue. Our protocol at Oliver Wellness Center uses FDA-cleared regenerative therapies specifically designed to repair peripheral nerve damage. Dr. Tom Oliver, DC, BCN, is board certified in neuropathy treatment, which is a separate credential from general chiropractic.
Q.Who is not a candidate for non-surgical neuropathy treatment?
Patients with severe long-standing nerve death whose nerves are no longer viable for repair are not candidates. The free 5-point screening at our Moorestown NJ clinic determines this. Patients with active foot ulcers, recent foot surgery, or certain implanted devices may also need to defer treatment. We will tell you straight at the screening.
Q.How long does non-surgical neuropathy treatment take?
Most patients at Oliver Wellness Center complete 8 to 16 weeks of treatment. Diabetic neuropathy patients typically need the longer end of that range. About 95 percent of sessions are done at home with our take-home device. In-office visits at our Moorestown NJ clinic are 1 to 2 per week.
