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

NEUROPATHY

• 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

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

The mass for Agnes Dean at St. Margaret’s Catholic Church in Otsego, MI, on August 16, 2024 at 1pm, is canceled at this time

Probably the most misunderstood, misinterpreted and misapplied verse in the Bible is John 14:13, where Jesus said, “I will do whatever you ask in my name ”

Some people see these three words, “in Jesus’ name,” as some sort of magical incantation an abracadabra! this means we can ask god for anything we want and as long as we say those three words at the end of our prayer, god is obligated to give us what we want this is why we might pray or hear prayers like, “god, make me hit the lottery, in Jesus’ name” or “god, please humiliate my nasty coworker, in Jesus’ name” or “god, please make the best looking student on campus fall in love with me, in Jesus name

I can’t imagine Jesus himself praying any of those prayers And, yet, that’s exactly what is necessary to pray in Jesus name to pray in Jesus name is to pray for what Jesus prayed for or to pray what he would pray for if he were in our situational shoes What did Jesus pray for? If we read some of his prayers (see Matthew 6, John 17, Mark 14), it becomes obvious that he always prayed for the glory of god and the good of people He never prayed for personal revenge or for selfish gain

What situation did you wake up this morning or in the middle of the night thinking about?

What situation is consuming your focus these days, perhaps causing some anxiety? Now, imagine Jesus in your situational shoes praying through you Based on what you know about him, what do you think he’d pray about the struggle that’s heaviest on your heart? that’s what it means to pray in Jesus name the god who made you and knows you, loves you a lot!
