Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy Fort Myers
While doctors and researchers have spent decades searching for new ways to administer cancer treatments, the current therapies that treat the disease almost always come with side effects. Chemotherapy is a treatment designed to kill cancer cells, but unfortunately, it can also affect the nerves connecting the spinal cord to muscles, skin, and internal organs. Disorders of peripheral nerves are common in chemotherapy patients, as well as other drug therapies.
What Can Cause Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy?
Until there is an advance of more effective cancer therapies, peripheral neuropathy complications of chemotherapy are increasing. Chemotherapy can cause degeneration of peripheral sensory and motor nerves, causing patients to see an increase in sensory disturbances, balance problems, or weakness.

We know how good our comprehensive neuropathy care is, but we would prefer if you heard it from our patients.
Dr. Zappille is amazing and an inspiration to me. I am a patient of hers. Being treated for Diabetic Neuropathy. Treated by using Laser Therapy. This treatment has given me significant nerve pain relief. I would recommend going and doing this treatment.
Dr. Zappile and her neuropathy center are absolutely exceptional! The care and expertise provided here are unmatched. I can’t thank them enough for the life-changing treatment and support I’ve received. Highly recommended!
Before coming to this health center, I struggled daily with the discomfort and challenges of neuropathy. Simple tasks had become daunting, and I was losing hope. From my first appointment, Dr. Danielle Zappile and the entire team showed not only their vast knowledge but also genuine care for my well-being.
Under Dr. Zappile’s guidance, I experienced noticeable improvements.. She took the time to explain the treatment plan and always listened to my concerns, adjusting as needed. It’s not just about her expertise, which is top-notch, but also about the compassionate way she treats her patients.
Today, I’m in a much better place and have regained activities I once thought were lost to me. I can’t recommend this clinic and Dr. Zappile enough to anyone battling with neuropathy. They’ve truly changed my life for the better.
Thank you, Dr. Zappile and team, for giving me back a sense of normalcy!
