Many people have no idea that they are suffering from peripheral neuropathy. Most come to us to get help for pain, numbness or weakness in their hands, feet, arms or legs without even knowing that they were suffering from this condition. There could be multiple causes for this problem and it is our job to isolate the causes at work with each patient and get them the medical treatment they need.
What is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Neuropathy refers to a disease or degeneration of the nerves leading to the arms, legs, hands and feet. The word peripheral refers to the outer edge of something, in this case, your body.
Symptoms of this problem include:
- Numbness and tingling in feet, hands, fingers and toes
- Burning sensation in hands and feet
- Weakness in hands, resulting in dropping objects and having difficulty picking them up
- Leg weakness or cramps
- Wasting of muscles
- Loss of dexterity
The discomfort from peripheral neuropathy makes it hard to exercise, move about or sleep. Sufferers stop exercising which only intensifies their weakness. Diabetic patients often suffer from this problem but there can be other causes that need to be properly addressed, like vascular damage.
Treating Peripheral Neuropathy
Some doctors implement treatments dependent upon pain medications. These drugs simply mask your symptoms and may even include dangerous side effects.
Our medical team concern themselves with improving health conditions and healing your body so you don’t have to rely on drugs. Our treatments do not only improve peripheral neuropathy symptoms. It also helps reverse the nerve damage and improve any vascular damage that may have occurred. Here are some of the natural treatment options available to you at our medical clinic.
Additional Treatment Options for Neuropathy Relief:
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
The platelets in your own blood are highly active repair cells. We process a small sample of your blood to concentrate platelets in the clear plasma of your blood. Then when we return this platelet-rich plasma to your body, its healing power goes to work to subdue your pain and weakness.
