Get Answers About Your Nerves in Tremonton
Many people put off checking nerve symptoms because they assume testing will be painful, expensive or complicated. Our free nerve scan removes those barriers. It's quick, comfortable and gives you useful information about what's going on, along with a clear explanation from our team.
At Rigby Chiropractic in Tremonton, we offer this screening so you can make informed decisions about your health, whether that means starting care with us, following up with your physician or simply having a baseline for the future.
Who Should Get a Nerve Scan?
A nerve scan may be a smart step if you:
- Have numbness, tingling, burning or "pins and needles" in your hands or feet
- Feel unsteady or have trouble with balance
- Have diabetes or prediabetes, even without symptoms yet
- Have had chemotherapy and noticed changes in sensation
- Experience cold, heavy or cramping feet
- Have a history of low back or neck problems with symptoms in your arms or legs
- Have been told you have neuropathy and want to understand where things stand
- Want a baseline to track changes over time
What the Nerve Scan Measures
Our screening uses non-invasive technology placed on the skin of your hands and feet. There are no needles, and nothing is painful. In general terms, the scan helps us evaluate:
— how well the small nerves in your extremities are responding
— indicators of blood flow to your hands and feet, which nerves depend on for oxygen and nutrients
— signs related to the nerves that control functions like sweating and blood vessel tone
Alongside the scan, we may perform simple, quick hands-on checks of sensation, reflexes and balance to round out the picture.
What the Scan Is and Isn't
A nerve scan is a screening tool. It provides helpful information but is not a medical diagnosis on its own, and it doesn't replace testing your physician may order. If anything in your results or history suggests a condition that needs medical attention, we'll recommend appropriate follow-up and are happy to share results with your doctor.
What to Expect at Your Free Scan
Your appointment is relaxed and straightforward:
Please wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to remove your shoes and socks. Bring a list of current medications if you can.
- Brief health history— we'll ask about your symptoms, medical conditions and medications
- The scan— you'll sit comfortably while sensors are placed on your hands and feet; most people find it easy and quick
- Review your results— Dr. Rigby or a team member will walk you through what the findings may mean in plain language
- Discuss your options— if care may help, we'll explain what a plan could look like; there's no pressure to commit
How Your Results Guide Care
If your scan and evaluation suggest nerve or circulation concerns, we can talk through our drug-free neuropathy program. Depending on your needs, care may include electric stimulation, laser therapy, red light therapy, shockwave therapy, spinal decompression when nerve compression is involved, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, and balance training.
Your scan also becomes a baseline. Periodic re-testing lets us track objective changes over time rather than relying on how things feel alone. Every case is different, and results depend on the extent of nerve damage and other health factors.
When to See a Doctor Right Away
A nerve scan is not for emergencies. Seek immediate medical care for sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body, trouble speaking, severe headache, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a foot wound that looks infected.
