New Hope for Peripheral Neuropathy
Dr Barry Marks, DC offers New Hope for Peripheral Neuropathy sufferers with exciting new program.
About Peripheral Neuropathy (PN)
Specifically, Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is a degenerative disease of the nerves and blood vessels of the feet or hands. PN can affect the nerves that provide sensation (feeling), motor function (muscle strength) and/or autonomic function (automatic nerves involving blood vessels). While most cases of peripheral neuropathy involves a mixture of all 3 components sensory-motor-autonomic causing a wide array of symptoms. It’s most common to affect both feet or hands. The disease starts in the outermost body areas and slowly creeps inward, it’s more common in the lower extremities than in the upper. At onset, symptoms may be mild and undetected by the patient. Later, dysfunction increases over time until the disease is apparent.
A typical peripheral neuropathy sufferer will feel a tingling sensation in the toes of both feet, a burning sensation, pins and needles sensations or notice lack of feeling. As a matter of fact, it’s not uncommon to experience a combination of all of these because different nerves may be affected simultaneously. As the condition worsens, muscle weakness may show up. In time, the feet may turn red and feel warm and alternatively look pale or blue and feel cold. In advancing neuropathy, loss of sensation is pronounced making it difficult to walk and the person may fall frequently or stumble. This is because they cannot feel where they are walking. Clearly, this is debilitating.
Unquestionably, Diabetes is the number one cause of peripheral neuropathy. Nevertheless, there are many other causes as well from thyroid issues, toxicity from chemicals, autoimmune syndromes and more.
Peripheral and autonomic nerve system dysfunction is the most common complication of diabetes. Approximately 50% of people with diabetes (Type I and Type II) will develop peripheral neuropathy (PN). PN is defined as loss of sensation of feet and absence of deep tendon reflexes in the ankle.
Traditional Treatment of Neuropathy Often Fails
Traditional medical treatments center on control of blood sugar levels and pain management. Various drugs are used to control pain and some drugs are used to interrupt the autoimmune reaction occurring in the body. Moreover, these drug therapies do not work for many patients and some of the side effects may be worse than the neuropathy.
New Hope for Peripheral Neuropathy
Ultimately, successful management of neuropathy involves getting to the root problems: lack of blood flow and nerve damage. And that’s why treatments aimed at improving blood flow to the small vessels surrounding the peripheral nerves can help. Additionally, therapies aimed at causing the nerves to regenerate in the presence of improved blood flow completes the treatment. Important to know is that nerves regenerate very slowly under favorable conditions; it can takes months for this healing to take place.
Dr. Barry Marks Chiropractor and Orange County’s Peripheral Neuropathy Doctor is using a fairly new and very unique program to heal peripheral neuropathy. Specifically, his system has a success rate of over 80% and patients are seeing tremendous results within a few months without drugs, shots or surgery. Specifically, the program uses special light therapies to improve blood vessel flow and increase nitric oxide. In addition, a special form of electrical stimulation specifically designed to regenerate damaged nerves and a dietary plan that reduces inflammation and increases nitric oxide. The best part is very few treatments in a doctors office are needed with the bulk of the therapy being done at home under a doctor’s supervision.
Obviously, this program is not for everyone. For the people that are candidates for this novel treatment, it is like a miracle! Basically, the only way to know if this treatment plan is for you is to be evaluated. A special neurologic exam will determine the extent of neuropathy and if it is likely to improve with this treatment. Dr Barry Marks, DC OC Neuropathy Doctor is offering a FREE Neuropathy Evaluation to see if this is right for you.
