Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects nearly 20 million Americans. It usually begins in the feet & lower legs, but over time, can advance into the hands & fingers. Until now, the only treatment for this terrible condition has been oral medications & injections. And in many cases, these simply didn’t work.

We are utilizing a completely NEW TREATMENT that may take away most, if not all, of your pain. It’s safe and highly effective for most people... even diabetics. Call now to schedule a FREE consultation with one of our doctors to see if you are a candidate for this procedure.
