Treatment Options Available at

In the past neuropathy treatments have relied heavily on medications, which cause patients significant side effects and little to no actual relief from symptoms. Only recently has there been a promising breakthrough to help reduce the symptoms of neuropathy with lasting results.
Electgro Analgesia
Electrodes are placed to the affected areas of the hands and feet to stimulate nerves that send pain signals to the brain by overriding the pain signal with varying electrical pulses to the nerve, which slows its firing. This is known as depolarization and it reduces the pain signals to the brain that are sent to the brain providing pain relief to the patient.
Laser Therapy
Works to improve the function of the specific blood vessels. The blood vessels feed nerves by sending radiant infrared energy deep into the walls of the blood vessels and tissues that surround the injured nerves. This improves the elasticity and function of the blood vessels. As the blood vessels become healthier the nerves begin to thrive. Additional therapies designed to improve strength and balance are also provided during a treatment session.
Spinal Manipulation
Used when nerve interference is a contributing factor to the numbness, burning, tingling and/or pins and needles feeling in extremities. Manipulation is quick, easy and known to help restore proper nerve flow.
