Peripheral neuropathy is a health condition that occurs as a result of damage to peripheral nerves, which connect the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Diabetes is the most common disease that causes neuropathy symptoms. Patients with peripheral neuropathy often experience pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the feet and hands, which can greatly impact a person’s quality of life. However, there are non-invasive treatments available that have shown to be effective in reducing neuropathy symptoms and promoting nerve regeneration – vitamin supplementation and Class IV laser therapy.
Vitamins such as B1, B6, and B12 have demonstrated their ability to improve nerve function, reduce symptoms, and promote nerve regeneration for individuals with peripheral neuropathy. As these vitamins are not usually present in adequate amounts in our diets, supplements can be an excellent source for these vitamins. Taking these supplements could be the breakthrough that you have been waiting for to take the edge off your symptoms and improve your quality of life. Dr. Walimire prescribes pharmaceutical grade, compounded vitamin supplements through an online pharmacy which have been proven to be most effective in the literature to his patients, with excellent results.
Another effective treatment for neuropathy is Class IV laser therapy. The therapy works by delivering light energy to the affected areas, stimulating cellular regeneration and reducing inflammation. Class IV laser therapy can help reduce nerve pain, relieve symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, and improve overall nerve function. The treatment is non-invasive and has a low risk of side effects, making it a safe and effective option for many patients with neuropathy.
For patients with more severe, painful neuropathy, we offer surgical treatment consisting of triple nerve decompression and insertion of peripheral nerve stimulators. These procedures should only be performed when traditional treatments have failed.
In conclusion, neuropathy is a debilitating condition that can greatly affect a person’s quality of life. Vitamin supplementation and non-invasive treatments such as Class IV laser therapy are effective in reducing neuropathic pain and promoting nerve regeneration. When these and other more traditional medical treatments fail, we can offer more advanced surgical treatment for your condition.
