Does Treatment for Neuropathy Pain Have to Involve Prescription Drugs?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Treating a problem by masking the symptoms has never been a viable long term solution Previous treatment options for
medications This type of pain relief is temporary Often these treatments lead to even more health problems, or worse yet addiction So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate the pain Many patients have been frustrated by traditional care, only to find their symptoms getting worse It is time to look into a solution to your pain that does not involve medication
Peripheral Neuropathy Explained
Peripheral Neuropathy occurs when nerves in the extremities are damaged or destroyed Like static on a telephone line, this interrupts the normal communication between the brain and the skin, muscles and other parts of the body This condition predominantly affects the peripheral limbs (legs, feet, arms, and hands)
Diabetes is one potential cause of peripheral neuropathy, as uncontrolled sugar levels can damage your nerves Some other causes of neuropathy may include: reduced blood flow, hereditary disorders, inflammation, vitamin deficiencies, and certain medications
There are many symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, which is essentially damage to the peripheral nerve system Some neuropathy sufferers describe it as wearing an invisible sock, pins and needles, burning pain, or extreme electric-like sensitivity to touch Others report the sensation of walking on broken glass or thumbtacks
Neuropathy May Contribute to Emotional Stress and Depression.
M
symptoms could be due to peripheral neuropathy It is a condition that can be misdiagnosed or ignored until it is unbearable This can affect all aspects of your life and may even cause emotional stress or depression
The Solution: Non-Surgical, Lasting Neuropathy Pain Treatment
Decompression we have developed a drug-free program utilizing multiple therapies to relieve your symptoms of
HealthLight The HealthLight device consists of boot and calf pads that contain more than 250 red and infrared diodes Light energy from the diodes increases circulation, speeds up cellular energy production, and draws water, oxygen and nutrients to the damaged area Treatments are painless and gentle as the light is absorbed by the cells beneath the skin
This creates an optimal environment that helps reduce pain, inflammation, burning, tingling and numbness, and actually improves the ability to feel sensations
The Whole Program
In addition to the HealthLight, our program also incorporates several other modalities to improve nerve function, some of which include vibration therapy, balance training, and soft tissue mobilization We also utilize nutritional support, when necessary, to help address vitamin deficiencies and improve circulation With this multi faceted approach, we are able to customize the program to your individual needs and achieve the most effective results in relieving your symptoms of peripheral neuropathy
Not All Neuropathy Treatments Are Created Equal.
There are many types of neuropathy treatments available today Do not confuse this treatment with a common TENS device that is designed to temporarily block nerve signals In fact, it is just the opposite – it works to improve nerve function
Are You a Candidate for our Peripheral
Neuropathy Program?
Patients come to us with all types of peripheral neuropathy
The potential causes are many and sometimes there is no clear risk factor for neuropathy Regardless, our first step is to evaluate your specific case to determine if it is a type of peripheral neuropathy we can help If so, the prognosis is generally favorable and treatment time is predictable Your neuropathy pain may be significantly reduced or possibly e
dependency on medication in as little as six weeks
• More than 100 types of peripheral neuropathy have been identified, each with its own symptoms and prognosis
• Peripheral neuropathy may be either inherited or acquired through disease processes or trauma In many cases, however, a specific cause cannot be identified
• Peripheral nerves have the ability to regenerate axons, as long as the nerve cell itself has not died
