So, what is peripheral neuropathy exactly and more importantly, can the negative effects of the nerve damage be reversed? Let me first answer the latter… yes, absolutely, regardless of what many medical professionals may have told you in the past.
Due to groundbreaking advancements in technology, the utilization of low-level light therapy, specialized electric stimulation (all FDA Approved) and a basic nutritional component, has shown to reverse the damage of peripheral neuropathy by 93% with a 60 to 100% improvement in symptoms.
Peripheral neuropathy quite simply is nerve damage, and is most commonly seen in the feet and even hands. At least those are the early stages before it can potentially migrate and begin to affect the nerves in other parts of the body.
In the case of true peripheral neuropathy, the blood vessels that surround those nerves are also damaged and deteriorate over time. That’s why it is important to address both the nerve and blood vessel component when reversing the condition.
There are many illnesses or risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing this debilitating disorder. Diabetes, long-term use of alcohol, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, or trauma to the spine or major nerves, to name a few. Autoimmune diseases, infections, and in some cases chronic kidney and liver disorders will also contribute.
Regardless of the cause, the condition is the same and therefore is typically treated in a very similar fashion successfully. Burning or tingling in the feet or hands, numb sensation balance issues, pain or the feeling like youre walking on broken glass are just a few of the typical symptoms that may indicate somebody has peripheral neuropathy.
With just a few basic sensory tests, an accurate diagnosis can be made and treatment prescribed. But what makes our technique so special? It is not only 100% Doctor monitored, but most of our patients can do this in the privacy of their own home without the inconvenience of traveling and waiting in a doctor’s office multiple times a week. This also allows it to become a much more affordable form of care as well as far more effective.
One of the most troubling things I hear on a daily basis is the fact that sufferers have been told that there’s nothing that can be done to help and that medications are the only alternative to some relief. And again, that is just simply not true. With our decades of experience in assisting patients with spinal trauma and diabetes we have had our fair share of exposure to this condition and have been treating it very successfully. My hopes are that people that are suffering from peripheral neuropathy don’t give up and seek the correct help.
If this sounded like you, feel free to give our office a call at 440-230-1113. We currently only accept 20 new patients each month so that we can give each individual the attention they deserve. Get back to sleeping well, playing golf or playing with the kids, your daily routine or work the correct and permanent way.
