Non-Medication Treatment for Neuropathy and Chronic Nerve Discomfort is Available
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 it 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. That’s right! 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. The key issue is that 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 the neuropathy is discovered and proper support for the nerves are provided it optimizes the ability for the nerves to heal!
In order to effectively heal nerve damage, four 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 will probably 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 treatment system increases blood flow to the nerves in the feet and/or hands, which helps nerves heal naturally and has helped many of our patient’s feet and/or hands feel a great amount of relief. No surgery. No addictive medications.
Our treatment program utilizes multiple safe technologies to address and help the nerves that are being effected.
We provide a Safe and Effective, Choice for Neuropathy Sufferers.
Our clinic offers a non-invasive and non-surgical therapy protocol that combines effective treatments to help relieve your nerve pain and suffering. We want to make sure that you have the confidence that you need. The examination process is to help us find out if you’re a candidate for our program.
The evaluation is performed by Dr. Scott Cason (Doctor of Chiropractic) and will give you the information that you need to know before starting treatment.
THERE ARE 4 VITAL COMPONENTS TO OUR NEUROPATHY PROTOCOL
Electromagnetic Infrared Therapy
One of the treatment technologies we use to increase blood flow to the nerve is Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). This type of 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 and repair. This technology has 21 peer-reviewed studies with an over 90% success rate with peripheral neuropathy.
Electrostimulation
We use state of the art digital electro therapeutic stimulation to assist the nerves in healing called Nerve Re-Education. This type of stimulation is used by the Cancer Centers of America in order to help those going through Chemotherapy to stimulate the 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 treatment components is vital for optimal tissue and nerve health. Our nutritional therapies have been designed to aide the healing process in the body by helping to reduce inflammation and promote blood flow.
In-Clinic Visits & Online Education
In synergy with your home light therapy & electrostimulation therapy you will visit the office up to 1x per week for our in-clinic protocol. Each vital component is equally important for patient results.
Nerve cells need two things to heal…
- Fuel
- Activation
This makes the combination of high-powered low level light therapy & nutrition (FUEL) and Nerve ReEducation (ACTIVATION) the perfect 1-2 punch for improved nerve health!
The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to heal varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed examination by Dr. Scott Cason (Doctor of Chiropractic).
