What is Peripheral Neuropathy?

This particular nerve damage is commonly detected outside of the spinal cord and brain.
This specific numbness and pain can usually be found in the hands and feet.

Peripheral Neuropathy can affect one nerve (Mononeuropathy), or many nerves (Polyneuropathy).
The resulting pain can generally be described as stabbing, burning, or tingling. Whether you have neuropathy in your feet or are seeking treatment for neuropathy, we can help.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example of mononeuropathy.
Our Treatments can assist in reducing the pain of Peripheral Neuropathy!

Signs and Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy

Every nerve in your peripheral system has a specific function. There are sensory nerves, motor nerves, and autonomic nerves. Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy might include:

Some Causes of Neuropathies May Include:

  • Diabetes, Alcoholism, Auto-immune Disease, Medications, Nerve Injury/Pressure, Vitamin Deficiencies.

The Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy

The cause is different for every patient and it must be discovered to help the nerves heal!

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, and genetic variants are a few causes of this condition.

Symptomatic or Idiopathic?

  • Acquired neuropathies are either Symptomatic, which means they result from another disorder condition, or there Idiopathic (meaning it has no known cause).

Peripheral Neuropathy Classifications

There are varying classifications for peripheral neuropathy. Symptoms vary depending on the kind of nerves that are damaged.

  • Motor Nerves – These nerves control the movement of all muscles under conscious control, such as those used for walking, grasping things, talking, and general movement.
  • Sensory Nerves – These nerves transmit information such as the feeling of a light touch, temperature, pain, sharpness, dullness, and other sensations.
  • Autonomic Nerves – These nerves control organs to regulate activities that people do not control consciously, such as breathing, digesting food, and heart and gland functions.

4 Ways We Approach Neuropathy Treatment

The three main components we will assess for proper treatment:
Your Metabolic Health, Your Spine, Your Nervous System

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 and vascular evaluation.

Infrared Therapy

One of the treatment technologies we use to increase blood flow and repair the nerve is our FDA-approved infrared device. The light therapy signals Vasoendothelial Growth (VEGF), which signals the production of angiogenesis.

Angiogenesis is the creation of the 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.

Our device is propriety and is not something you can buy online. It was exclusively designed for our protocol.

This technology has 21 peer-reviewed studies with a 97% success rate with peripheral neuropathy.

Electrostimulation

We use state-of-the-art digital electro-therapeutic stimulation to assist in the growth of the nerves called Nerve Re-Education. Our device has a built-in microprocessor making it very different from a traditional TENS unit. 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.

Advanced Nutrition Therapy

Proper nutrition in support of our other Neuropathy Treatments is important for optimal tissue and nerve repair. Our Advanced Therapies have been to designed to accelerate the healing process by affecting blood flow, bioavailable nitric oxide, and inflammation.

In-Clinic Visits &
Online Education

In synergy with your home infrared electromagnetic & electrostimulation therapy you will visit the office 1x per week for our in-clinic protocol. Each vital component is equally important for patient results.
