If you're living with diabetes and struggling with burning, tingling, or stabbing pain in your feet or legs, you're not alone — and you're not out of options.


At Georgetown Pain Management, with locations in both Washington, DC and Greenbelt, Maryland, we specialize in advanced treatments for diabetic peripheral neuropathy that are minimally invasive, evidence-based, and designed to give you your life back.


Understanding Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy


Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common — and most frustrating — complications of diabetes. It develops when high blood sugar damages the nerves, often in the feet, legs, and hands.


Common symptoms include:

  • Burning or shooting pain in the legs and feet

  • Tingling, numbness, or sensitivity to touch

  • Pain that worsens at night

  • Balance issues or muscle weakness


If left untreated, DPN can lead to serious problems — including falls, wounds that don’t heal, and long-term disability. Many patients also find it affects their sleep, energy, and ability to enjoy daily life.


Why Traditional Treatments Often Aren’t Enough


Most people with diabetic nerve pain are started on medications like gabapentin, pregabalin, or duloxetine. While these drugs may offer some relief, they can also cause fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, and weight gain — and for many, the pain continues despite the pills.


That’s where our approach comes in.


Modern, Minimally Invasive Relief — Without Major Surgery


At Georgetown Pain Management, we offer cutting-edge therapies for diabetic neuropathy that don’t require long hospital stays or major surgery. These techniques involve small, outpatient procedures that work by interrupting the pain signals traveling from damaged nerves to the brain.


They’re:

FDA-approved

Backed by strong clinical evidence

Performed right in our office-based procedure suites

Associated with minimal downtime


Most importantly, they offer a real path to lasting relief — even for patients who’ve been told there’s nothing else to try.

We’re proud to serve patients from Washington, DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia who are seeking thoughtful, expert care for nerve-related pain.

  • Our Greenbelt, Maryland office is easily accessible from the Capital Beltway with free parking and a calm, welcoming setting.

  • Both locations feature on-site procedure centers, so you never have to navigate a hospital system or wait weeks for care.


Our Physicians: Precision Meets Compassion


Our team includes Dr. Alexander Kiefer and Dr. Netsere Tesfayohannes — both double board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, and trained at world-class institutions including Harvard, Penn, Cleveland Clinic, Georgetown, and Weill Cornell.


They’ve helped thousands of patients with diabetic nerve pain regain mobility, sleep, and quality of life — and they’ll take the time to truly understand your needs.
