Neuropathy
In basic terms, neuropathy simply means that there is a disease with the nerve and this causes a malfunction of the transmission of nerve signals. When you have neuropathy in your feet, the nerves are not talking to the rest of the body properly. The nerve malfunction can cause pain of all types even when there’s nothing causing the pain, or the nerve might not send a pain signal when something is harming you. Others may even experience strength, balance and coordination disturbances. Every neuropathy sufferer or patient presents with their own unique blend of symptoms and afflictions.
The most common types of neuropathy are caused from diabetes, chemotherapy, toxic exposure, alcoholism, medication side effects (cholesterol medicine), and failed back surgery.
Oftentimes, the first course of treatment is a laundry list of medications to suppress the symptoms. Translation: you may diminish the pain some, but the problem is still there, still progressing, and still getting worse. Finding a solution that treats the cause is better!
The specific causes of nerve malfunction include: Inflammation, Poor Nerve Nutrition, Poor Circulation/Poor Tissue Oxygenation, and Bad Nerve Signals.
Inflammation - there’s a ton of research that talks about the fact that inflammation is the precursor of most chronic disease. Damaged peripheral nerves are ultimately inflamed which leads to nerve malfunction. Proper treatment of peripheral neuropathy must address and reduce inflammation both at the local sites and systemically throughout the body.
Poor Nerve Nutrition - all nerves need proper “nerve nutrition”. Research has indicated that there are specific key nutritional ingredients that help your nerves function better, heal faster and regenerate. Eating right will not get you where you need to go when you have nerve damage. This is an often overlooked aspect of neuropathy recovery.
Poor Circulation - when there is poor circulation you have less blood flow, less oxygen and fewer nutrients getting to the nerve and surrounding tissue. This process is called Ischemia. When you have ischemia there is a restriction in blood supply to all tissues, causing a shortage of oxygen that is needed for cellular metabolism (which is needed to keep tissue alive). You may notice symptoms of poor circulation as pain or discomfort as well as discoloration.
Bad Nerve Signals - by now it should be clear that when your nerves are inflamed and don’t have the proper nerve nutrition (food) as well as a proper oxygenated blood supply to stay alive then the nerve itself will not function properly. Because the nerve has been damaged it will not signal properly causing pain and discomfort as well as motor issues such as a loss of strength, balance and gait. We have a solution for this.
We use a variety of non-invasive and non-drug therapies to address the different components causing neuropathy. All of the contributing components need to be addressed independently to reverse the symptoms of neuropathy. Treating only one aspect will not produce optimal results.
Our Solutions To Treat The Causes of Neuropathy:
Reduce Inflammation - diet modifications to reduce inflammation in the body.
Improve Nerve Nutrition - an extraordinary nerve support supplement loaded with vitamins, herbs, and antioxidants that all work together to improve nerve health and function.
Improve Circulation - an FDA cleared laser device which improves circulation and decreases pain and inflammation.
Improve Circulation - a dietary supplement that helps dilate blood vessels to improve blood flow.
Improve Circulation - full body vibration therapy to improve circulation in the legs and feet.
Improve Nerve Signals - an FDA cleared electrical device which is designed to provide needed rehab to your damaged nerves by reestablishing the proper nerve signals that may have been compromised.
In addition to these solutions, a person should also address/consider exercise, balance therapy, joint mobilization, and spinal decompression.
