Non-Medication Treatment for Neuropathy and Chronic Nerve Discomfort
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where nerves are damaged causing weakness, burning pain, numbness, tingling, and debilitating balance problems. The damage to the nerves can be caused by many different problems in the body. Poor blood flow to the nerves, toxic levels of sugar in the blood (diabetes), chronic infections, pesticide exposure and genetic variants are a few of the causes of this debilitating condition. The cause is different for every patient and the cause must be discovered to help the nerves heal!
What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Generally, symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in an effected area include:
- Numbness/Tingling
- Burning Pain
- Unusual and/or loss of sensations
- Muscle weakness
- Deep Stabbing Pain
- Balance Problems
Another common cause of nerve damage is auto-immunity.
Auto-immune diseases are diseases where the immune system mistakenly starts to attack the body. Many times, the immune system is actually killing the nerves of peripheral neuropathy sufferers. This is why thorough testing is vitally important to helping peripheral neuropathy.
Can peripheral nerves heal?
Yes! It is well established in the scientific literature that peripheral nerves can and do heal. Not only do we need to get the nerves healing, but we have to stop whatever is causing the nerve damage in the first place. When the underlying cause of neuropathy is discovered, and proper support for the nerves is provided, it optimizes the ability for the nerves to heal!
In order to effectively heal nerve damage, three factors must be determined:
- What is the underlying cause of the nerve damage?
- How severe is the nerve damage?
- What types of nerve fibers are damaged?
You have sensory nerves (both small fiber nerves and large diameter nerves) and motor nerves that control movement of your muscles.
NOTE: If there is muscle weakness from neuropathy for greater than two years, the damage to the muscles may be permanent!
How much treatment will the nerves require to heal?
This will be dependent on the degree of nerve damage and what types of fibers are damaged.
The treatment we provide has four main goals…
- Optimize the environment within the body for nerve healing.
- Increase blood flow to the nerves.
- Stimulate the nerves that are damaged (small fiber, large diameter, or motor nerves) to reduce pain and improve balance.
- Decrease brain-based pain.
Our exclusive treatment system increases blood flow to the nerves in the feet and/or hands, which helps to rejuvenate nerves naturally and has returned many patient’s feet and/or hands to normal. No surgery. No addictive medications.
Our comprehensive treatment program utilizes multiple state-of-the-art technologies and is unlike any treatment program you may have already experienced.
We provide a Safe and Effective, New Choice for Neuropathy Sufferers.
Our clinic offers a NEW, Non-Invasive and Non-Surgical therapy protocol without medications that combines the best of cutting edge medical treatments to help resolve your neuropathy suffering. We want to make sure that you have the confidence that you need, so we’ve designed an extensive diagnostic evaluation process to help us find out if you’re a candidate for our program.
This extensive evaluation will give you ALL the information that you need to know before starting treatment so you can be assured you will have success with your neuropathy program.
THERE ARE 4 VITAL COMPONENTS TO OUR NEUROPATHY PROTOCOL
VITAL COMPONENT #1: Electromagnetic Infrared Therapy
One of the treatment technologies we use to increase blood flow and repair the nerves is our new Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). The light therapy signals Vasoendothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), which signals the production of angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the creation of new blood vessels, which is needed to repair nerve damage. These blood vessels grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. This technology has 21 peer-reviewed studies with a 97% success rate with peripheral neuropathy. This therapy is done completely at home!
VITAL COMPONENT #2: Electrostimulation
We use state of the art digital electrotherapeutic stimulation to assist in the growth of the nerves called Nerve Re-Education. This is used by the Cancer Centers of America in order to help those going through Chemotherapy rebuild their nerves. Nerve Re-Education can even be done at home, so therapy can be done daily! The results can be immediate in both pain relief and restoration of normal sensation.
VITAL COMPONENT #3: Advanced Nutrition Therapy
Proper nutrition in support of our other VITAL COMPONENTS is vital for optimal tissue and nerve repair. Our Advanced Nutritional Therapies have been designed to accelerate the healing process by affecting the complex processes of inflammation, blood flow, and bioavailable nitric oxide.
VITAL COMPONENT #4: In-Clinic Visits & Online Patient Portal
In synergy with your home infrared electromagnetic & electrostimulation therapy, you will visit the office 1-2x per week for chiropractic care. In addition, you will be enrolled in an online patient portal that allows you to track your progress, keep you accountable, and gives you 24/7 access to our clinic via two-way instant messaging. Each component is equally important for patient results.
Nerve cells need two things to heal…
- Fuel
- Activation
This makes the combination of high-powered lower level light therapy and nutrition (FUEL) and Nerve Re-Education (ACTIVATION) the perfect one-two punch for nerve regeneration!
The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological evaluation.
If you or someone you know suffers from neuropathy, please give our office a call!
