Best Neuropathy Treatment Plans

When we designed the treatment system for neuopathy patients, one of our major objectives was to help you get independent of clinic care ASAP. So, in order for this to be successful, several things needed to occur simultaneously. Diet and nutrition intervention are so often keys, regardless of the cause of peripheral neuropathy. But more than that, NeuropathyDR needed an appropriate treatment system.

You see, neuropathy is a multiple factor problem as I tell my patients every day! So unless all these known factors are individually taken care of, your results can not be near their full potential. This is why so many other neuropathy treatment approaches will fail.

Motor Neuropathy Progress- A Case Study

One of the most common symptoms of neuropathy, called motor neuropathy, causes signals not to be delivered properly to the muscles in the arms and legs, resulting in a clumsy gait, as well as a frustrating lack of overall dexterity. Since the muscles aren’t being used the way they’re supposed to, they can fall out of use over time, causing the loss of strength many neuropathy sufferers complain about. Even if they experience neuropathic pain, many sufferers complain most that the most difficult part about neuropathy is the frustration at not being able to do something as simple as walking!

Soft tissue work in Chemotherapy Neuropathy and Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Dr Brian Petrie recently shared the studio with me and discussed the addition of a muscle work technique called Graston in the neuropathy treatment clinics. As we have written about earlier, soft tissue work in chemotherapy neuropathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy can enhance results when properly applied by a NeuropathyDR Clinician.

Chemotherapy Neuropathy “Cure?”

Our treatment plan for Joanne involved a combination of manual therapies to her spine, as well as 2 forms of electro-stimulation to her feet and hands. We treated Joanne three times a week for five weeks; in only four weeks, Joanne was commenting that her symptoms had subsided dramatically. Immediately following each treatment, Joanne noticed a reduction in her pain level. The pain and numbness in her feet subsided a whopping 65-70%

Your Quality of Life and Good Neuropathy Treatment

NeuropathyDR® clinicians use a neuropathy treatment method which includes several known techniques and we are continuously testing newer technologies too! NeuropathyDR® Clinicians actually take new courses every single month, so they are never “stale”!

Motor Neuropathy Care- Long Term Strategies are Key

Motor neuropathy usually starts in the hands and feet, and can affect the full extension of fingers and toes. In addition to the dexterity problems this obviously causes, it often also has a visual appearance of “clawlike” fingers. The condition is degenerative, getting worse over a period of months and years. Twitching and spasms can also happen in affected limbs. While motor issues associated with peripheral neuropathy usually accompany pain, tingling, and numbness, multifocal motor neuropathy involves no pain (only the motor nerves are affected). Generally, none of the varieties of motor neuropathy are life-threatening, although they can absolutely impact your comfort and quality of life if you suffer from them.

A lot of people hear that there is no cure for neuropathy, and they get discouraged. Not Susan…

Beating Fibromyalgia: A New Therapy?

The most common indicator of fibromyalgia is pain and sensitivity to pressure on the skin. Most sufferers describe the pain as stabbing and shooting, and it can occur all over the body. Fibromyalgia pain is often worse in the mornings, and can vary based on restlessness and even temperature/humidity.

Neuropathic Nutrition!

Neuropathy and nutrition is very important to learn. Just be careful of too much fruit sugars. This means a serving is 1/2 apple, banana, etc. Most non-starchy vegetables like greens and asparagus especially are great for most of us.
