Do you have any of the following symptoms… 

• Pins and needles feeling
• Numbness in the hands or feet
• Tingling or burning sensations
• Weakness in the arms or legs
• Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy and we may be able to help.

Whats different about this program?

Until now, most treatments have focused only on symptom control, largely by way of drugs, and blood sugar control in diabetic patients. Physical Therapy alone often provides little if any lasting relief. As you know, drug costs and patient compliance, as well as medication side effects have left us all wishing there were more as doctors that we could do for our patients.

Well, now there is! Using a combined program of patient care which includes nutrition and diet education, exercise and rehab therapies. Plus, we use clinically tested 7.8Hz electrotherapy. With additional massage techniques and spinal manual therapies where indicated, patients can achieve not only lasting relief, but long term self management. 

Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of peripheral neuropathy in the United States. About 60 percent to 70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of neuropathy. Chemotherapy is another leading cause in our age advancing population.

Whether due to diabetes, chemotherapy, food sensitivities, toxicity, spinal problems or other disorders, neuropathy symptoms share common causes. Nerve tissues are highly vulnerable to damage from diseases that impair the body’s ability to transform nutrients into energy, process biochemical waste products, circulate oxygen, or manufacture some components of cellular repair. 

What we have discovered is that only by simultaneously adressing the biochemical and disease management compontents that our neurpopathy patients are afflicted with, can lasting results be obtained, with dramaitic improvements . Plus ,effective targeted nutrition therapies and rehab measures accelerate the process of recovery in many patients.

Combined Electro Stimulation at 7.83 Hz: A pain-free electrical dual frequency signal (one to stimulate the nerve cells and the other to trigger muscle cells) is pulsed on and off at the frequency of 7.83 cycles per second.  *We have found that the human body is particularly sensitive to this frequency.  One postulation for this sensitivity is that the electrical potential between the earth’s atmosphere and the earth’s surface is also approximately 7.83 Hz.  Using this signal frequency, *research has found that the body not only responds favorably but the brain is induced to release large amounts of endorphins. The effect of this endorphin release is a generalized sense of well-being, a reduction in pain and anxiety levels elsewhere in the body, and even a reduction in emotional pain.  Long term clinical applications suggest some normalization of function is occurring*. This ensures a very high level of patient compliance not only because you feel good physically during the treatment period but because you feel better emotionally afterward experiencing a reduction in pain for a period of 4 to 6 hours.

What about Skeletal Alignment, Nutrition and Exercise? In most patients, the lumbar and hip (piriformis) areas experience muscle spasms, blood flow is restricted through muscles resulting in reduced oxygen availability to the surrounding tissue, including nerve cells.  Because muscles can use either oxygen or glucose metabolic pathways, they can recover quickly from a temporary reduction in circulation. Nerve cells, on the other hand, are limited to a different system and must take immediate defensive steps to survive. Our program provides the right combination of manual therapies and home exercise and self-care programs to effect lasting changes in circulation and maximum treatment independence.
