patient Testimonials
I was on multiple meds, including Gabapentin and Lyrica and the side effects were terrible. I don't need to take them anymore. My pain level was an 8 to 9. Now I'm at 2 and the feeling is back in my feet!"
I had severe neuropathy for over 17 years and tried everything without getting any better. All the medications did was take the edge off my pain. After coming here, I got off all my prescription medications and my life is 100% better! My neurologist is amazed!"
I used to have a lot of trouble going up and down the stairs. I always had to hold onto the railing because I was afraid to fall. Now after a little over a month my fear is gone and I don't even have to hold onto the railing."
FAQ
What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition where nerves are damaged because of the lack of blood, nutrients, and oxygen getting to the nerve cells. Most people associate the triggering cause with Diabetes, Chemotherapy, Cholesterol (Statin) Medications, Auto-Immune Conditions and Back/Neck issues. There are actually over 100 causes (triggers) of Peripheral Neuropathy. They all have one thing in common which is a decrease in blood flow on the nerve cell level. This lack of circulation causes the tiny blood vessels supplying the nerve to further shrink and shrivel up to increase the progression of symptoms.
Peripheral Neuropathy commonly causes weakness, burning pain, numbness, tingling, and debilitating balance problems to name a few symptoms. The damage to the nerves can be triggered by many different problems in the body. The initial triggering cause is different for every patient and doesn’t necessarily need to be discovered to help the nerves heal! Idiopathic Neuropathy is neuropathy with no known cause. The root cause of Peripheral Neuropathy is the lack of blood flow and continued blood vessel loss.
Yes! In fact, long before Peripheral Neuropathy symptoms are felt, the body is attempting to heal the mounting nerve damage through a process called Angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the body’s normal process of building new blood vessels. Angiogenesis is one of the ways our body heals itself. But by the time people feel the onset of symptoms, the body can no longer keep up with the rate of nerve degeneration and ultimate nerve death. Although the body still tries very hard to heal itself, it’s similar to bailing out a sinking boat with a bucket full of holes. It simply can’t keep up!
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 corrected (new blood vessel formation), and proper support for the nerves are provided it optimizes the ability for the nerves to heal.
