Neuropathy treatment often falls short—and this episode explains why nerve pain persists even when tests appear normal and medications don’t deliver real relief. In this in-depth conversation, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Stephen Matta, a triple board-certified physician specializing in regenerative medicine, to uncover what’s often missed in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathy. In this episode, you’ll learn what neuropathy really is, why standard tools like EMGs can miss underlying nerve dysfunction, and how chronic inflammation, poor blood flow, and structural issues contribute to ongoing nerve pain. Dr. Matta breaks down why medications like Gabapentin may only mask symptoms instead of addressing root causes—and what a more comprehensive, functional approach looks like. We also explore advanced treatment strategies, including ultrasound-guided hydrodissection, peptide therapy, regenerative injections, and full-body assessments designed to restore nerve function. Through real patient cases, Dr. Matta explains how identifying the true source of nerve irritation can lead to meaningful improvements in pain, mobility, and quality of life.If you’re dealing with neuropathy, nerve pain, tingling, or unexplained symptoms—or you’re a practitioner looking for a more effective framework—this episode provides a practical, science-informed roadmap to approaching nerve health differently.📌 Dr. Stephen Matta Dr. Matta is a triple board-certified physician in Primary Care, Non-Surgical Orthopedics, and Stem Cell Therapy.
