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.

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.

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.

More About Diabetic Neuropathy

So what causes people who have diabetes to develop neuropathic symptoms? Research is occasionally unclear on the subject, but it is generally agreed that exposure to high blood glucose (high blood sugar) has a negative effect on nerve condition.

5 Myths about Neuropathy

Since Peripheral neuropathy affects people of so many ages, physical conditions, and other variables, it can often be confusing to find consistent information. Changes in medical research resulting in outdated data, “best guesses” on the parts of sufferers and medical practitioners being reproduced as facts, and just plain likely-sounding rumors all contribute to a host of very basic misinformation about neuropathy. This week, we at NeuropathyDR® will be taking a look at the ReBuilder and some of the most common rumors we’ve found, and will do our best to set the record straight!

Neuropathy and Exercise

Exercising regularly greatly decreases anyone’s risk of diabetic neuropathy, and has been shown to control symptoms and deterioration in sufferers by elevating overall blood flow to the limbs and controlling cardiovascular atrophy. Depending on your specific type of neuropathy, areas affected, and the extent of the damage, you will have to adjust conventional workout routines to accommodate the condition.

Alcohol, Neuropathy and Chronic Pain

One of the most serious—but rarely discussed—conditions resulting from extended alcoholism is alcoholic neuropathy. One of the reasons for its being relatively obscure, aside from difficulties inherent in any discussion of substance abuse, is that much of the scientific evidence linking neuropathy and alcoholism is somewhat vague. Even so, medical science generally accepts that excessive use of alcohol can cause neuropathy.
