Lobacz Chiropractic is a specialty chiropractic clinic in Evansville, Indiana focused on non-surgical care for knee pain, neuropathy, and chronic joint conditions using shockwave and laser therapy.”
If nerve discomfort in your feet or hands is affecting your sleep, balance, mobility, or independence — you’re not alone.
Many people live with neuropathy symptoms for years without real answers.
Our clinic offers a conservative, non-surgical approach focused on improving nerve function, mobility, and quality of life.
We offer a Specialist Evaluation & Trial Session.
Our practice operates on a selective model.
Your first visit functions as a trial of care, allowing both you and our doctor to determine whether our methods are the right fit for your condition.
Ongoing care is offered by invitation only, based on clinical findings and your response to treatment.

You may be experiencing:
Burning or tingling in your feet or hands
Numbness or “walking on cotton balls” sensation
Cramping, weakness, or loss of balance
Sharp electric-like pains
Restless legs or night-time discomfort
Cold or hypersensitive feet
Difficulty standing or walking long distances
If you’re tired of being told “there’s nothing more we can do,” there are still options to explore.
Neuropathy has many potential causes, including:
Diabetes & pre-diabetes
Poor circulation
Nerve compression or spinal irritation
Autoimmune conditions
Vitamin deficiencies

Your Neuropathy Evaluation Includes:
✔ Private consultation to understand your history

✔ Review of contributing lifestyle & mechanical stressors
✔ Time to get your questions answered
✔ A clear explanation of findings
✔ Personalized recommendations — only if appropriate
If we don’t believe we can help — we’ll tell you- and we won't be able to accept you as a patient.


We Do Things Differently
Instead of masking symptoms, our goal is to identify what may be contributing to your nerve irritation and poor circulation, and apply targeted therapies designed to support:
✔ Nerve circulation
✔ Tissue healing environment
✔ Healthy nerve signaling
✔ Mobility & joint function
✔ Reduced stress on affected areas
Typical care plans may include a combination of:
• Gentle neuropathy-focused therapies
• Laser/light therapy
• Shockwave where appropriate
• Structural & movement-based care
• Home-care guidance
• Lifestyle and supportive recommendations
We do not prescribe medications and we do not replace your neurologist or primary care physician. Our role is supportive, conservative care.
We do not claim to cure neuropathy.
Many patients report improvement in areas such as:
Comfort and mobility
Sleep quality
Stability and balance
Functional ability & confidence
Results vary depending on severity, duration, and overall health.


Many patients are told nothing can be done — or they must simply “live with it.”
That may not be the case.
While not every case of neuropathy can be reversed, there are many patients who experience meaningful improvement in comfort, mobility, and quality of life with the right plan.
Early care matters — nerves heal slowly.

Many Evansville residents dealing with chronic joint or soft tissue pain eventually face a difficult decision. After weeks or months of discomfort, the conversation often turns to injections—such as cortisone—or the possibility of surgery.
Before taking that step, it’s important to understand all available options. Two commonly discussed non-surgical approaches are shockwave therapy and injections. While both aim to reduce pain, they work in very different ways. Start your shockwave therapy at Lobacz Chiropractic.
Understanding these differences can help you make a more informed decision about your care.
Injections are often suggested because they can provide relatively fast symptom relief. Depending on the type, injections may:
Reduce inflammation
Temporarily block pain signals
Decrease swelling in irritated tissue
For some people in Evansville, injections offer short-term improvement, especially when pain is severe.
However, injections are primarily symptom-focused and do not always address the underlying tissue health or mechanical issues contributing to pain.
While injections can be helpful in certain situations, they may also have limitations, including:
Temporary relief rather than long-term improvement
Repeated injections often needed
Potential weakening of soft tissues over time
Activity restrictions following the procedure
For individuals seeking a more conservative, tissue-focused approach, injections may not always align with long-term goals.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic (sound) waves applied directly to injured or degenerated tissue. The goal is to support circulation, stimulate cellular activity, and encourage the body’s natural repair processes.
Shockwave therapy is commonly used for conditions such as:
Chronic knee pain
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Shoulder and rotator cuff-related pain
Tendon and soft tissue injuries
It is often considered when pain has persisted despite rest, physical therapy, or other conservative care.
The key difference between shockwave therapy and injections is how they address pain.
Aim to reduce inflammation or block pain
Often provide temporary symptom relief
Do not directly stimulate tissue healing
Focuses on improving tissue health
Encourages circulation and cellular repair
Designed to address chronic tissue irritation
Because of this difference, many Evansville patients explore shockwave therapy as an alternative to repeated injections.
Another important consideration is recovery time.
Injections may require rest or activity modification afterward.
Shockwave therapy typically allows patients to remain active during care, with minimal downtime.
This makes shockwave therapy appealing for individuals who want to continue working or staying active during treatment.
The right approach depends on several factors, including:
The type and duration of your pain
Previous treatments you’ve tried
Your activity level and goals
Your preference for conservative care
Some patients may benefit from injections, while others prefer to explore non-invasive options like shockwave therapy first.
A comprehensive evaluation can help determine which approach may be most appropriate for your condition. Get your evaluation started at Lobacz Chiropractic.

FAQs
Quick Answers to Your Neuropathy Questions
In some cases, yes. Neuropathy improvement depends on whether the nerves are capable of responding to increased circulation and stimulation. Our care is designed to support nerve function, not simply mask symptoms.
Nerves heal slowly and require repeated stimulation over time. One or two treatments do not provide sufficient cumulative effect for nerve adaptation or repair.
Single visits do not allow for proper laser dosing, monitoring, or clinical decision-making. Neuropathy care must be program-based to be effective and ethical.
No. Some cases are not appropriate for this type of care. We prioritize honesty over optimism.
Most neuropathy patients are treated twice per week. Less frequent care often fails to produce meaningful improvement.
Some patients notice early symptom changes within the first few weeks. Others experience more subtle changes initially. Improvement timelines vary based on severity, duration, and overall health.
If objective or subjective improvement is not observed, care is discontinued and other options are discussed. We do not continue care without evidence of benefit.
Neuropathy programs are typically not covered by insurance. Care is provided on a cash basis due to its specialized, non-surgical nature.
