The chemo is over. Why are your feet still burning?
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy often shows up after treatment ends, and stays. How scrambler therapy works on it, what a session feels like, and one Air Force veteran’s story.

Straight answers about back, neck and nerve pain.
Written by the doctors who treat it, in plain English. What your MRI means, how each treatment works, what to do after an accident, and what happens when you walk in our door. Start with the questions patients ask us most.
Car Accidents
After a car wreck, everyone says call a lawyer. See a doctor first.
The billboards make calling an attorney look like step one. It is step two. Why the exam comes first, what to do when your own doctor won’t see accident injuries, and what one clinic can handle under one roof.
Nerve Pain
Spine & Discs
Your MRI says “herniated disc.” Here’s what the report actually means.
Protrusion, extrusion, foraminal narrowing, “clinical correlation recommended.” A line-by-line guide to the words on your MRI report — and how we connect what’s on the screen to what you feel every day.
Spine & Discs
Why nobody offered you spinal decompression
The answer is structural, not medical. Insurance is built around pills, injections and surgery — and the step between the shot and the scalpel sits outside that system. Nobody did anything wrong. Here’s how it works.
Nerve Pain
Four specialists in three years. Why is this the first you’ve heard of scrambler therapy?
It isn’t a conspiracy — it’s plumbing. One device, one manufacturer, days of specialized training, and a treatment that sits outside the usual pain-medicine sequence. There is one in San Antonio.
Spine & Discs
Discs can heal on their own. The question is how long you can wait.
A herniated disc can shrink back over time. What that timeline looks like, what the waiting costs you — sleep, work, the strength in your leg — and why we would rather not leave it to the calendar.
Spine & Discs
Is spinal decompression just traction?
Both pull on the spine. The difference is in how the pull is controlled, where it’s aimed and how it’s measured — and why that matters for a herniated disc.

The doctor’s own ruptured disc: why Dr. Barton kept surgery off the table
One of the worst L4-L5 herniations he’d seen in his career turned out to be his own. He filmed the whole course of treatment, MRIs included — and wrote down why.
Spine & Discs
Bulging disc or herniated disc? What the difference means for you.
Two words that get used interchangeably and shouldn’t be. What each one looks like on imaging, the symptoms that tend to follow, and how the difference shapes your care plan.
Nerve Pain
Why is the scrambler therapy machine so big?
Dr. Barton asked its inventor, Dr. Giuseppe Marineo, in Rome. His answer — “it’s the smallest the technology allows” — explains why this is nothing like the TENS unit in your drawer.
Nerve Pain
When the injury healed but the pain didn’t
CRPS, shingles, chemo neuropathy: pain that keeps firing long after the damage is done. How scrambler therapy sends the nerve a “no-pain” message over the same pathway, and who is a candidate.
Chiropractic
What an adjustment actually is: a stretch for a joint
A tight joint moves wrong, gets inflamed and hurts. An adjustment stretches it the way you’d stretch a tight muscle. What the pop is, and what you’ll feel afterward.
Car Accidents
The first 72 hours after a car accident
What to do, what to watch for, and when to get checked — even if you feel fine today. Plus how your care is paid for, and why your first visit is $0.
